Abstract
The article considers the evolution of scientific approaches to the essence of the concept of "logistics activities". In particular, the concepts provided by different scientists from the standpoint of systemic, functional, economic and process approach are systematized. Control objects are defined depending on each approach. The property of logistics activity as interaction with the external environment is emphasized. It is substantiated that the interaction with the external environment occurs through timely and reliable exchange of information. The main prerequisites for the implementation of logistics activities, such as: globalization, technological progress, knowledge economy. The nature and features of each of the prerequisites for the implementation of logistics activities are revealed. The importance of the concept of prevention of negative impact on the environment is emphasized. Within this concept, "green logistics activities" are gaining popularity, which are aimed at saving energy, materials, efficient land use, reducing air pollution, by reducing the number of lands, air, water transport, noise and hazardous waste regulation. A manifestation of the environmental approach in logistics is reversible logistics, i.e. logistics that involves the return of goods and waste. Taking into account the considered approaches, the definition of logistics activity is given.

For a more detailed understanding of the term “activity” in the field of economics and management, we propose to consider the following component of the concept of "logistics activity”
Summary
Logistics, performing various functions, accompanied humanity at all stages of its development, from military and mathematical activities, and expanding influence in the economic sphere. Domestic and foreign scientists in recent decades have been studying in particular detail the impact of logistics activities on various spheres of society and in particular the economy. It should be noted that for many years scientists have been discussing the interpretation of the concept of logistics and today in the scientific literature there are many interpretations, but still no generally accepted. The purpose of article is to explore the main aspects of the implementation of logistics activities by enterprises in the face of modern challenges in the external environment, affecting the internal features of management
