Abstract

The strategy decision of “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” has brought extensive and complex impact to China’s economic and social development. In order to achieve the “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” goal, it is significant to promote the green development of the logistics industry, a high energy-consuming industry. Combined with the industry norms and relevant policy documents of logistics industry, this study selected secondary indicators containing four aspects of finance, resource, operation and environment, and eight tertiary indicators, and constructed the evaluation indicator system of green development of logistics industry in East China. Quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis of the green development of logistics industry in East China from 2015 to 2019 were conducted using entropy weighting TOPSIS method, and comprehensive performance and ranking of six provinces and one city were obtained. Results showed that Shandong Province ranked the highest in terms of the green development of logistics industry; Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province took the second and third places respectively, and Shanghai came in last. Finally, based on the in-depth analysis of empirical results, this paper provided suggestions for the green development of the logistics industry in East China.
