GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN PRACTICES ARE KEY TO REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS IN THE LOGISTICS SECTOR IN SAUDI ARABIA

The logistics industry is responsible for a significant amount of carbon emissions because it relies heavily on fossil fuels for transportation, uses a lot of energy in warehouses, and has complicated networks for distributing goods. In Saudi Arabia, the economy is growing quickly and there are a lot of new buildings. This has increased the amount of goods being moved around, which has made the environment more polluted. In reply, Saudi Vision 2030 is very focused on being kind to the environment and on reducing the carbon footprint of the economy. This study looks at ways to reduce carbon emissions in the logistics sector of Saudi Arabia. It focuses on using techniques to manage supply chains in a way that is good for the environment. The paper uses a detailed review of academic literature, policy documents, and industry reports to identify important green strategies that can be used in Saudi logistics, such as buying products and services in ways that do not harm the environment, using transportation systems that use less energy, using renewable energy, using digital technologies to make processes more efficient, and managing supply chains in a way that is collaborative. The analysis shows how these practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also improving how well the company works, how it controls its costs, and its ability to compete with other companies. The results show that using green methods in supply chains is good for the environment and also helps Saudi Arabia reach its national logistics strategy and sustainability goals.
