Data for Sustainable Development in Logistics and Supply Chains - A Systematic Literature Review

The pressure on companies to contribute to sustainable development has increased drastically due to new regulations and political and social demands. The logistics and supply chain industry is directly influenced by this pressure as it has a considerable impact on society, is accountable for a large amount of emissions, and is a major contributor to the economy. The amount of information available is multiplying, and data is an asset that has become the essence of this century’s economy. This study investigates the implications of data in sustainable development by identifying data objects and attributes for logistics in a systematic literature review. The findings highlight the importance of data to sustainable development, contributing to the UN SDGs, promoting informed decision-making, and focusing on operational optimization.
