Abstract
The selection of suitable logistic service providers is essential while making strategic decision for sustainable business. Green logistic service management is the one that incorporates sustainable practices in whole operation cycle in order to maintain product quality, timely deliveries and satisfied customers. This also helps in the prevention of products from further waste that is quite necessary in the context of emerging economies. Thus, in order to assess its effectiveness, the study proposes a framework which emphasizes that the simultaneous role of green logistic services management, green construction, green innovation, and green social awareness helps in achieving sustainable development in Vietnamese context. The outcomes revealed that the green logistic services management, green construction practices, and green innovation helps to achieve sustainability in transportation industry of Vietnam due to positive linkage. The results also exposed that the green social awareness significantly moderates among green logistic services management, green construction practices, green innovation, and sustainable development of transportation industry in Vietnam.
