The concept of sustainability is inevitable in every sector nowadays. This thesis tends to explore how sustainability impacts the performance of logistics firms financially. The specific focus of current research goes to those logistics companies which are based in Kathmandu, Nepal meaning to ask if green logistics strategies offer real financial value. The aim is to assess these outcomes and offer practical guidance for traders, including policymakers.
The study draws renowned theories to show the relationship between sustainability, profitability, and corporate responsibility in this sector which are triple-bottom line, research-based perspective, and stakeholder theory. The research used here is a mixed-methods approach, with structured surveys in quantitative technique, and interviews and case studies in qualitative depth. The research is intentionally localized to Kathmandu-based firms ensuring the findings are appropriate and can be applied in this business setting.
Findings reflect that there is a notable increase in profit after adopting sustainable logistics practices. There is expected to diminish operational costs while their investments in sustainability are being paid off within a short period. In addition to the cost benefits, these firms are expected to experience stronger customer loyalty, better brand perception, and noticeable reductions in emissions. It grants sustainability as a strategic tool for long-term financial benefits and competitiveness.
