Abstract

The logistics industry is at the heart of socio-economic development. Disruption in the logistics and supply chain industry grounded many sectors to a halt at the height of COVID-19 with economic and environmental implications. This study examines the efficiency and interconnections among innovation, energy, infrastructure, and logistics performance as the logistics industry strives to attain a green supply chain while maintaining economic growth and environmental sustainability. To capture these relationships, a network data envelopment analysis model is designed for efficiency analysis. 36 % of the evaluated countries had below-average efficiency. Results also indicate innovation and energy sustainability as drivers of efficiency and sustainability in the logistics industry. This implies the need for innovation in logistics energy infrastructure by decarbonizing the logistics industry. Regional and national partnerships in the technological development of green energy to power the logistics industry are recommended.

创新驱动型可持续物流业的效率分析

物流业是社会经济发展的核心。在 COVID-19 高峰期，物流和供应链行业的混乱导致许多行业停滞不前，对经济和环境造成了影响。本研究探讨了创新、能源、基础设施和物流绩效之间的效率和相互联系，因为物流业正努力实现绿色供应链，同时保持经济增长和环境的可持续发展。为了捕捉这些关系，设计了一个网络数据包络分析模型来进行效率分析。36% 的受评估国家的效率低于平均水平。结果还表明，创新和能源可持续性是物流业效率和可持续性的驱动力。这意味着需要通过物流业的去碳化来实现物流能源基础设施的创新。建议在绿色能源技术发展方面建立区域和国家伙伴关系，为物流业提供动力。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
