Sustainability is a major subject of interest in the field of business and environmental management.
Many previous studies have emphasized the trade-off between economic activities and their negative
effects on the environment. Moreover, previous studies have focused principally on manufacturing
enterprises; however, only a few studies conducted thus far have concerned themselves with the
logistics sector. This study fills these gaps by testing the causal relationship between proactive green
management and the sustainable performance of logistics enterprises in Korea. Additionally, as
compared with previous literature that discusses the partial relationship between environmental
variables and firm performance, this study synthesizes the factors of green awareness and green
strategy that may affect green logistics management, based on a total systematic structural equation
model (SEM). SEM has advantages in examining the causal relationship between green logistics
practice and business performance. Our results demonstrate the positive impact of green awareness
and green logistics practice on logistics performance, whereas the influence of green strategy on
logistics performance is apparently not significant.
