A Study on Strategic Approaches to Efficient Sustainable Logistics

Abstract

With the fast evolution of eCommerce, logistics is vitally involved in ensuring-with due efficiency-the movement of goods from the seller to the buyer. In an environmental sense, such efficiency would mean cost and time optimization, matching expectations of swift, timely product delivery. However, with growing environmental concerns, the need for sustainable logistics becomes no less critical. This research will dwell on strategic paths to balancing logistics efficiency with sustainability, leveraging state-of- the-art technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and automated route optimization. The study further proposes the integration of electric vehicles and green logistics practices in the sector of e-commerce, especially in the Delhi NCR region. It will quantify, through qualitative analysis, the effect that these techniques have on the environmental performance of sustainable logistics-such as carbon footprint reduction and general economic efficiency.
