Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationship between sustainable logistics practices and supply chain management in Vietnam, with the purpose of identifying implementation barriers and developing strategic recommendations for balancing environmental preservation with economic growth. We employ a quantitative research design, utilising a cross-sectional survey methodology with data collected from 329 professionals across Vietnamese logistics companies. Our findings reveal that while sustainable logistics practices are recognised as important, their implementation faces significant challenges including financial constraints, technological limitations, and inadequate regulatory support. The relationship between sustainable practices and performance outcomes is complex, with only marginal support found for the influence of sustainable logistics practices on implementation barriers. Contrary to theoretical expectations, we found non-significant relationships between sustainable practices and technology adoption, between technology adoption and financial performance, and between organizational commitment and sustainability outcomes. This suggests a disconnect between sustainability intentions and effective implementation in Vietnam’s logistics sector. Our study contributes to the emerging discussion of sustainable logistics in Vietnam by highlighting the need for integrated approaches that combine technological innovation, organizational commitment, and stakeholder collaboration. These findings provide valuable strategic direction to policymakers and businesses seeking to advance sustainable logistics in Vietnam’s developing economy.
