Abstract: Over the last few years, there has been a surge of interest in the green supply chain and sustainability within academic circles, research communities, and educational institutions. This growing interest can be attributed to the complex environmental challenges posed by global climate change, the global pandemic (COVID-19), uncertain demand, and the emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR). This article aims to consolidate previous research efforts, identify key trends and gaps in the field, and understand the impact of green logistics and CSR on the sustainable development (SD) of companies through a comprehensive analysis of papers and articles. We adopted the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach to conduct a systematic review. The results highlight a positive correlation between green logistics, CSR, and SD, with organizations reporting lower operating costs due to improved energy efficiency and effective management practices. To gain deeper insights into the opportunities and challenges unique to each area, future research may involve conducting detailed empirical investigations and engaging in interviews with organizations. This literature survey offers a broad perspective on SD and the green supply chain. In order to support well-informed decisionmaking and strategic planning in the field of corporate sustainability, this literature review offers a comprehensive viewpoint on SD in connection to the green supply chain.
