This article is devoted to researching and forming a conceptual approach to managing financial security in a logistics company, addressing the challenges of maintaining financial stability in a highly dynamic and risk-prone industry in the face of global challenges. The study reveals that financial security can be examined through multiple theoretical perspectives, each highlighting specific aspects but often lacking an integrated understanding. The article defines financial security as a state of balance between a company’s financial resources and its short- and long-term objectives, its adaptability to financial challenges, and resilience to external and internal destabilizing factors. Based on this, a comprehensive concept of financial security management in a logistics company is proposed. The strategic foundations, key actors, goals, and tasks that form an integrated financial security system have been identified. It is described as a set of interrelated elements and mechanisms that ensure operational stability in the face of real and potential threats, risks, and global challenges. The core objective of such a system is to provide financial stability and enable timely and adequate responses to potential crises. The scientific novelty lies in developing a multi-dimensional model for assessing financial security, which incorporates financial metrics, the impact of human resources, sustainable development parameters, and global risk factors in the context of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on sustainable finance, defined as the redirection of financial flows, such as investments, loans, and credit lines, towards projects and companies that advance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. This includes areas such as climate change mitigation, energy efficiency, biodiversity preservation, and equitable social progress. The study substantiates that implementing a financial security management system allows for the creation of a qualitatively new and integrated safety framework with increased efficiency.
