Similarly, corporate sustainability reporting has become an integral part of business strategies, with companies being required to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Rising fuel costs are another significant factor propelling the market forward. Fluctuations in crude oil prices and increasing energy demand have made fuel expenses a major financial burden for logistics companies.

Companies are integrating reverse logistics, remanufacturing, and sustainable packaging to minimize waste and extend product lifecycles. Dell and Apple have adopted circular strategies by refurbishing used electronics and reintroducing them into the market, while IKEA promotes sustainability through its furniture buy-back program. The fashion industry is also making strides, with H&M’s Garment Collection Program and Adidas’ Made to be Remade initiative enabling the recycling old clothing and footwear into new products. Renault refurbishes used car parts in the automotive sector to reduce emissions, and Michelin recycles old tires to minimize landfill waste. Additionally, Amazon and Unilever are adopting biodegradable and recyclable packaging to combat plastic pollution in logistics operations.

Denmark is leveraging its renewable energy resources to foster sustainable logistics.
