Green Logistics and Strategies for Reducing Carbon Footprints: Global Trends and the Turkish Perspective
Abstract
This study investigates green logistics and strategies for reducing the carbon footprint within the Turkish context, highlighting the current state of sustainability practices in the logistics sector. Using an exploratory research approach, the sustainability reports of logistics companies operating both nationally and internationally in Turkiye were analyzed. The findings indicate that strategies such as deploying electric and low-emission vehicles, intermodal transportation, investments in renewable energy, the circular economy approach, digitalization, and route optimization play a crucial role in minimizing environmental impacts while enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. The results demonstrate that public policies, sector collaborations, technological investments, and comprehensive carbon accounting must develop simultaneously for the logistics sector to meet its carbon reduction goals.
