“…With the huge fixed cost involved in green energy investment and lack of support from government or customer base, it is difficult for those enterprises already involved in green practices to survive. In fact, Datta et al (2015) confirmed that bio-energy is a feasible energy resource that may improve logistics performance in business activities under environmental constraint. Mafakheri and Nasiri (2014) and Khan et al (2016a) argued that biofuels and green energy sources do not have a bright future without proper environmental legislation and government support for tax exemptions on biofuels and renewable energy projects.…”

“…In addition, some countries of the SAARC union suffer from terrorist attacks and governments are unable to control and/or enforce their legislation over their geographical boundaries. Rodríguez et al (2014), Heldeweg et al (2015) and Tengku et al (2011) highlighted that long-term political stability is an important factor for reducing social concerns, improving countries' economic health and enhancing environmentally-friendly legislation effectiveness (Bush et al, 2015;Datta et al 2015;Acquaye et al, 2015;. Long-term political stability builds strong and powerful legislation systems.…”

This article examines the association between green logistics operations, social, environmental and economic indicators of SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries. The research used GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) and FGLS (Feasible Generalized Least Squares) two methods to tackle the problems of heterogeneity, serial correlation and heteroskedasticity. The findings show that fossil fuel consumption is at the heart of logistics operations; the more fossil fuel and non-green energy resources that are used, the more negative effects on society and environmental sustainability result from this. A lower quality of transport-related infrastructure and logistics services is negatively correlated with fossil fuel usage, carbon emissions, health expenditure, greenhouse gas emissions and political instability of SAARC countries. Conversely, efficient customs procedures and greater information sharing among supply chain partners increase trade opportunities and also improve environmental sustainability in terms of minimum carbon emissions due to the shorter waiting and queue times involved. Further, the application of green energy resources and green practices can mitigate negative effects on social and environmental sustainability due to better logistics operations while improving financial performance in terms of higher GDP per capita, trade openness and greater export opportunities around the globe. As there is very limited research using green practices relationship with macro-level indicators in current literature, this research will assist both practitioners and policymakers to understand the roles of green supply chain and green logistics in enhancing environmental sustainability, social improvement and economic growth for a better future.

“…Shahbaz, Solarin, Sbia, and Bibi (2015) also reported the efficiency boosts ECONG by means of capital and labor inputs. Datta, Gopalakrishna-Remani, and Bozan (2015) has also recommended the environmental considerations for the utilization of ENC and natural resources in order to to ensure sustainable ECONG. In another study, Naz et al (2019) reported a long-term bidirectional causality relationship between RENG usage, EMCO, and the ECONG in the context of the three regions of China, that is, east, west, and center.…”

This endeavor explores the nexus between health expenditure, consumption of renewable energy, economic growth, and the quality of the environment in 10 central European nations from 2005 to 2018 utilizing the techniques of fully generalized least square (FGLS) and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation. The outcomes reveal the significant association between health, economic, and environmental factors with green energy utilization. The utilization of fossil fuels negatively influences the quality of the environment and boosts the risk of several diseases associated with the undernourishment and respiratory system and thus increases the death ratio. Furthermore, the utilization of operations based on renewable energy usage exerts a substantial favorable influence upon residents of Central European (CE) nations and thus helps decrease health and pollution-related expenses. So, there needs to be a collaboration among all the stakeholders so that green growth in the service and industrial sectors can be achieved.

“…Without the specific assistance of elected leaders and ecofriendly rules, the business communal cannot implement them in their logistical and economic activities. Acknowledging environmental limitations, bioenergy is a viable alternative to fossil fuels and can convert logistical operations into commercial activity (Datta et al, 2015). Previous research studies on the other hand concluded that bioenergy and renewable energy sources do not have a bright future in the absence of adequate state support and environmental laws for tax incentives and subsidies on these initiatives (Mafakheri and Nasiri, 2014;Khan et al, 2016).…”

This study examines the connection among green logistic operations, countries-level economic, environmental, and social indicators in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) Belt and Road Countries. Using the system generalized method of moments (S-GMM) estimator, this study analyses annual data from 2008 to 2018 and offers three key findings. First, economic indicators China’s foreign direct investment (FDI), trade openness and economic output) are positively associated with green logistic operations. Second, logistics are positively correlated with renewable energy while inversely correlated with carbon emissions. Third, social indicators are also directly associated with green logistic operations measured through health expenditure and institutional quality. Lastly, information communication technology also spurs green logistic operations. Manifestly, Chinese outbound FDI in SSA substantially improved the quality of their logistics in terms of infrastructure, cost, time, customs services, tracking, and the consistency of international shipments. These findings show that green logistics provide adequate infrastructure, and supply chain partners share information more frequently, increasing trade volume, growth potential, and environmental sustainability. Similar results are also endorsed using a feasible generalized least square (FGLS) estimator and suggest that SSA should take effective measures to improve their logistics operation.
