Green logistics vs sustainable logistics differ in which way?

• A. Green logistics emphasizes environmental aspects; sustainable logistics encompasses environmental, social, and economic performance
• B. Green logistics emphasizes social aspects; sustainable logistics emphasizes environmental aspects
• C. Green logistics focuses on reducing costs; sustainable logistics focuses on regulatory compliance
• D. Green logistics and sustainable logistics are identical

Answer: (C)

Green logistics concentrates on reducing the environmental footprint of logistics activities—emissions, energy use, waste, and greener packaging. Sustainable logistics widens this view to include social and economic performance as well, aiming for environmental protection along with social responsibility and economic viability. In other words, sustainability covers the triple bottom line, not just environmental aspects. Thinking it’s only about costs or that the terms are identical misses the broader scope that sustainability brings.
