Abstract
The implementation of sustainable development goals and principles is increasingly addressed in various spheres of economic activity, including logistics. Despite extensive scholarly research, a universal indicator for assessing sustainable development in logistics has not yet been established, which complicates research and the identification of existing shortcomings in this sector. Logistics is a key value-creating activity and a core component of the service-based economy in developed countries, significantly influencing economic conditions at both national and global levels. The objective of this study is to calculate an integral sustainability indicator for the logistics sector and apply it to several European countries in order to assess the level of sustainable development, identify strengths and weaknesses, and outline possible solutions for advancing sustainable logistics. The object of the research is the logistics systems of selected European countries, while the subject is the level of sustainable development in logistics. Scientific novelty consists in the development of an integral logistics sustainability indicator enabling interstate comparative analysis. The practical significance lies in the applicability of the results for public policy-making, corporate strategic planning, and further research.
