Abstract

The logistics industry is a composite service industry integrating transportation, warehousing, freight forwarding, intermodal transportation, manufacturing, trade, information and other industries. It is a basic, strategic and leading industry supporting economic and social development. In the context of the impact of the epidemic on the economy and society, logistics companies actively play their own advantages and assume their social responsibilities. This paper takes China’s “Top 50” logistics companies as the research object, and collects and analyzes the release of their social responsibility reports. Further, based on the stakeholder theory, the content analysis method and NVivo qualitative analysis software are used to analyze the epidemic-related content in the social responsibility report, which provides a theoretical basis for logistics enterprises to undertake social responsibility in the post-epidemic era.
