Tiivistelmä
With environmental concerns on the rise, the requirement for sustainable practices in global logistics has come to the forefront of the debates as the current predominant approaches to freight management incur environmental problems. This research, outlines the implementation of green logistics in the international freight transport sector and the consequences that come with greener logistics. Moreover, through a comprehensive theoretical framework and analysis of sustainable approaches, the research addresses the central question on the impact of the implementation of sustainable practices in freight management using green logistics.
The study utilizes a qualitative methodology to explore the complex sphere of sustainable practices within international cargo transportation over the long haul. Conducting interviews is among the research tools that this study used to uncover the complex and deep issues that arise from sustainability in the logistics industry. The reason behind choosing interviews stems from the great benefit of capturing participants’ subjective opinions and creating an environment of interaction among themselves. A total of five interviews were carried out during the month of March 2024. In order to get over the practical difficulties that the matter is closely related to, the convenient sampling will be used to make the individuals closely related to the subject of the research as participants.
The research results demonstrate the fact that the key task for the authorities is to stimulate the sustainable investments through the introduction of incentives, tax cuts and the rule making policy. On the one hand, companies are supposed to put priority on sustainability in their operations and building ties with eco-friendly partners and purchasing more clean power technologies. Supply chains can be improved by optimizing routes for ships and trucks, enhancing vehicles’ economy, and adopting cutting-edge logistics technological solutions.
