###### Abstract  
Logistics operations significantly depend on fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources, posing challenges to environmental sustainability. Achieving a balance between environmental protection and economic efficiency is vital in logistics decision-making. The concept of green logistics aims to reduce environmental externalities by adopting sustainable practices. This research explores the adoption and utilization of green logistics technologies and information systems through a structural equation model, focusing on key factors such as environmental awareness, organizational culture, and financial considerations. The research methodology involved using a specially designed questionnaire to collect data, which was subsequently analyzed through various stages. The study selected Saudi Arabia as a case study due to its rapid development in the logistics sector and its significant CO\({}_{2}\) emissions. Initially, a general quantitative descriptive analysis was performed on the collected responses. This was followed by more detailed analyses to uncover the finer nuances in stakeholders' perspectives. Additionally, correlation analysis was conducted to identify significant associations between variables and to understand their potential interactions. The findings reveal high environmental awareness among stakeholders, a positive organizational culture conducive to sustainability practices, and a strong recognition of the benefits of green logistics technologies. However, there is room for improvement in technological readiness and a need for clearer government regulations and more robust policy support. Financial considerations are complex, with significant initial investments required and long-term financial benefits recognized.

substantial environmental degradation through high greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and resource consumption. In contrast, green logistics aims to minimize these negative environmental effects by integrating sustainable practices such as reducing emissions, optimizing energy use, and utilizing renewable resources [7]. Green logistics, as defined in the literature, is an approach that aims to minimize the negative environmental impacts of logistics processes while maintaining social and economic objectives [8; 9; 10; 11]. Various areas where green logistics practices are applied include designing eco-friendly products, implementing green transportation strategies, optimizing warehousing operations, using sustainable packaging materials, managing logistics data efficiently, and recycling waste. The implementation of green logistics and supply chains is crucial in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12), which focuses on sustainable consumption and production patterns [12; 13]. This goal emphasizes enhancing technological capabilities in developing countries to support sustainable practices, including waste reduction, minimizing the release of harmful substances, and promoting sustainable purchasing. As a result, businesses are adopting Green Logistics initiatives to meet the need for more sustainable practices. However, the role of green logistics technology in sustainable development remains an underexplored area in research [14]. Managing sustainable performance in complex global supply networks remains a challenge, with current practices often falling short of optimal sustainability standards. Despite the clear benefits of green logistics practices, several variables affect their implementation. In this study, we focus on the complementary aspects of green logistics with a resilient research approach. We analyze the perceptions and attitudes of potential users of green logistics to understand the key determinants.
