Abstract
The overall goal of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of the sustainable logistics system, especially in the context of Vietnam. For this investigation, policy implication for the sustainability of logistics sector in Vietnam will be formulated. To reach such a goal, the study conducted a comprehensive literature review on sustainable logistics system and its practical application in Vietnam. An attempt has been made to compare and assess different approaches of sustainable logistics system from theoretical to practical perspectives. Based on that, proposed measures that should be pursued for a sustainability of logistics sector of Vietnam will be discussed in detail. The research described in the paper is expected as the first step to a decision support system for enhancing the sustainable economic development focusing on logistics sector in Vietnam.
