Abstract:   (2132 Views)
This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to examine the intersection of sustainable logistics and supply chain resilience, aiming to uncover emerging trends, influential factors, and critical gaps in the literature. Using the Scopus database, 480 publications published between 2009 and 2024 were systematically analyzed through VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The findings highlight six dominant themes—decarbonization, reverse logistics, optimization models, circular economy practices, digital transformation, and risk mitigation—that collectively position sustainability as a driver of resilience. The analysis focuses on sustainable logistics practices, including green logistics, circular economy principles, and reverse logistics, alongside digital transformation technologies such as IoT, blockchain, and predictive analytics, to assess their integration into resilience strategies. The analysis reveals a fragmented approach to integrating sustainability and resilience, with practices often treated in isolation. Results indicate that sustainable logistics practices enhance resource efficiency and adaptability but are constrained by the lack of holistic frameworks that integrate diverse sustainability practices with resilience strategies. While environmental dimensions and digital technologies are recognized as critical enablers, social and governance dimensions remain underexplored. Adoption disparities further hinder progress, particularly among SMEs, resource-constrained sectors, and underrepresented regions like Africa and South Asia. The study highlights opportunities to advance foundational theories, including Circular Economy Theory, Dynamic Capabilities Theory, and the LARG model, for aligning sustainability and resilience objectives. The study highlights the importance of developing unified, data-driven frameworks that incorporate ESG principles, sector-specific applications, and inclusive approaches to address geographic and financial disparities. Practically, integrating digital technologies with sustainable logistics practices can strengthen transparency, efficiency, and agility. Meanwhile, policy interventions, targeted incentives, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential to overcome implementation barriers and achieve operational sustainability and resilience integration.
