Abstract

This study examines the importance of green logistics for the sustainable development performance of enterprises. It analyzes the connotation and application of green logistics, the significance of corporate sustainable development, and the relationship between the two, to clarify the decisive influence of green logistics in contemporary enterprises. At the same time, it points out the existing problems in the development process of green logistics from multiple perspectives, indicating that the further development of green logistics requires the efforts and cooperation of enterprises, governments, and multiple parties in the supply chain. Following this positioning, several conceptual solutions are proposed, such as the innovation and sustainable utilization of green technology and green management in logistics, and the government's role as a third party in regulating the application of green logistics. The research results have theoretical significance, highlighting the impact of green logistics on corporate sustainable development and the important role of the government in sustainable development. The practical significance includes improving corporate sustainable development performance indicators in the technical and management dimensions, in order to further improve the organization's sustainable operations and behavior.
