Abstract

The environmental impacts of business operations, regardless of firm size, have become increasingly prominent in recent times. The key contribution of this chapter stems from the comprehensive analysis of green logistics adoption within SMEs in South Africa, as well as from the practical insights and recommendations for enhancing sustainability in the SME sector. It addresses the unique challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs in embracing eco-friendly logistics practices, thus filling a significant gap in the literature on sustainable supply chain operations in Africa. This chapter's novel contribution also lies in its exploration of actionable strategies and best practices tailored to the context of SMEs in South Africa, providing valuable guidance for promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable development within the SME sector in Africa.
