Green Logistics encompasses innovative technologies and new business models across the logistics value chain, advancing sustainability, generating social impact and enabling future development. The accelerated growth of green logistics is driven by the necessity of directly addressing and resolving persistent industry-wide issues – including supply chain inefficiencies, infrastructure gaps, emissions reduction targets, labour constraints and evolving consumer expectations. Through technological innovation and optimized operational practices, green logistics provides tangible solutions to these challenges, reinforcing its strategic relevance and prompting significant attention worldwide. Against this backdrop, a practical pathway for green logistics includes these four themes: 1 Green fuel production and use: Developing and deploying low-carbon, sustainable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels for transport and logistics operations, e.g. biofuels, biogas, green hydrogen, electro fuels2 Green vehicle and propulsion manufacturing and adoption: Advancing the development, production and use of zero- and low-emission vehicles across logistics, e.g. electric delivery vans and trucks, hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, cargo bikes, and cleaner ships and aircraft 3 Green infrastructure construction: Upgrading and investing in multi-energy infrastructure required to enable sustainable transport and supply chain operations, e.g. electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and sustainable ports and airports 4 Digital and green operational enhancement: Harnessing digitalization, automation and data analytics (as well as enhanced operating models such as circular logistics and modal shifts) to optimize logistics operations, improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact Green logistics helps turn ambition into implementation through technical and business- model innovation across the full value chain, as shown in Figure 3. It aligns technology, infrastructure and operations on an integrated pathway to address the challenges of the logistics industry. The accelerated growth of green logistics is driven by the necessity of directly addressing and resolving persistent industry- wide issues.
