The goal of a sustainable logistics system is to improve profitability and reduce environmental impact for long-term performance. The sustainable logistics system considers three aspects: economics, the environment, and social that are essential for a logistics system:. This paper presents a framework for a sustainable logistics system that will address these three criteria. This framework is then used as the basis for analyzing inputs and outputs in a case study.
