Modeling Enablers for the Blockchain Technology Adoption for Sustainable Logistics Practices

Blockchain technology may be a vital tool in paving the way to sustainable practices in logistics activities. This article evaluates the Enablers of Block Chain Technology Adoption (EBTA) in Sustainable Logistics Activities (SLA). Sustainable logistics reduces environmental degradation by reducing carbon and other resource consumption to emissions while providing lasting supply chain efficiencies and cost savings, making this practice in economies very liable for responsible economic growth and corporate social responsibility. Based on a thorough literature review, seventeen key enablers are identified. The top five EBTA are identified through the experts' opinions on the importance of enablers in the Logistics sector. The Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method is applied to uncover their cause-and-effect relationships. The major drivers identified are Decentralization and Traceability, and the remaining EBTA explains the dependency.
