Abstract

The contemporary development of e-commerce in recent years has contributed to the rapid growth of the logistics industry and its awareness of environmental threats. Alongside the increase in online orders, significant environmental pollution has emerged in the logistics sector. Logistics operators are striving to build green logistics policies, and the reliability of the supply chain and the analysis of innovation strategies in green logistics have contributed to the improvement of environmental pollution in the logistics industry and reduced vehicle emissions in transportation. The aim of this study is to assess the implementation of the green logistics concept by selected logistics operators in Poland. The research indicates an increase in exhaust emissions of all harmful compounds in the analyzed transport logistics system by 2030 at the following selected logistics operators: CO, 9.167%; HC, 16.265%; and NOX, 17.354%. According to EU documents, the objectives to be achieved in terms of sustainable development in the field of transport, including for the logistics sector, are to change sustainable propulsion systems, and to optimize the operation of multimodal logistics chains, inter alia, by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes of transport.
