Is it a good idea to select green logistics to enhance environmental sustainability? Insights from global sample

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research attempts to empirically examine the effects of green logistics on environmental sustainability by investigating the nexus between green logistics (GL) and environmental sustainability (ES) by applying varied econometric methodologies to an international sample of 44 nations during the 2006–2021 period. The estimation outcomes show that the size of GL has a positive effect on both indexes. We find robust consequences using numerous econometric methods and including additional explanatory factors. To throw light on the nexus between GLPI and variables, we show the impacts of GL on ES both in the short and long term and compare the effect of GL on ES. The findings suggest that the nexus between GL and ES tends to appear in the long run. In particular, we find that the impacts of GL become more acknowledged in a nation described by a high industrialisation level.
