Logistics is the backbone of global connections, enabling the movement of goods, services and people across and within regions, catalysing economic and social developments. Freight transport, including supporting facilities such as warehouses and ports, accounts for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is also one of the hardest-to-abate sectors globally. Digitalization and technological advancements, together with evolving and shifting trade flows, provide an opportunity to enhance operational efficiencies, cut emissions and drive industry growth and competitiveness. Emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), at varying levels of technology and business model readiness, are already making notable progress by embracing state-of-the-art innovations to support the green transitions of the logistics sector.As part of the Net-zero Opportunities for Value-chain Action (NOVA) initiative, this report, developed by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), provides an overview of innovative technologies and new business models that have been deployed to accelerate the sector’s green transition in EMDEs. Interviews and workshops were conducted with advisers and experts across the ecosystem to gather insights and best practices that can support logistics ecosystem leaders in advancing towards a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive future. The report further identifies actions that government and other stakeholders can take to scale deployment and adoption efforts. We thank all community members for their valuable guidance, inputs and feedback.Sebastian Buckup Managing Director, World Economic Forum Gim Huay Neo Managing Director and Chair, Greater China, World Economic Forum Yvonne Zhou Managing Director and Senior Partner, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ForewordGreen Logistics Innovation for Emerging Markets: Driving Competitiveness and Shared Value November 2025 Green Logistics Innovation for Emerging Markets: Driving Competitiveness and Shared Value 3
