Since logistics is a core element in enterprise activities, sustainability is becoming a strategic issue for the logistics sector. Sustainability of enterprises is only possible if they are sustainable in terms of their natural, economic and social dimensions. In fact, environmental impacts of logistic practices are now included in “Logistic Performance Index” LPI developed by World Bank. Concept of sustainability and logistics is discussed in this study focusing on environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainable logistics

Sustainability is emerging as a salient concept with increasing importance. Since logistics is a core element in enterprise activities, sustainability is becoming a strategic issue for the logistics sector. Sustainability of enterprises is only possible if they are sustainable in terms of their natural, economic and social dimensions. In fact, environmental impacts of logistic practices are now included in “Logistic Performance Index” LPI developed by World Bank. Concept of sustainability and logistics is discussed in this study focusing on environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainable logistics.
