This study investigates the intersection of sustainable logistics and supply chain resilience, emphasizing their role in mitigating global disruptions such as natural disasters, pandemics, and geopolitical tensions. It identifies key trends, critical gaps, and actionable insights to guide the development of robust, adaptable, and sustainable supply chains. A bibliometric analysis of 480 scholarly works systematically maps the academic landscape, uncovering key themes, emerging trends, and knowledge gaps. The analysis focuses on sustainable logistics practices, such as green logistics, circular economy principles, and reverse logistics, alongside digital transformation technologies, including 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. 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, such as IoT and blockchain, 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. Inclusive frameworks, sector-specific applications, and empirical research—incorporating mixed methods, longitudinal studies, and real-world case studies—are essential to address these gaps and operationalize sustainability-resilience integration across diverse contexts. This research bridges a critical gap in the literature by presenting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of sustainable logistics and supply chain resilience, emphasizing holistic, sector-specific, and integrative frameworks and highlighting the transformative role of digital technologies in achieving operational and strategic resilience.
