Abstract
Research on environmental sustainability from the third-party logistics provider’s (3PL)
perspective is claimed to be descriptive, focusing mainly on ecological practices’ initial
development. Thus, this paper emphasises 3PL companies’ adaptation to changing
environments and recognises stakeholder engagement and absorptive capacity as
capabilities needed to maintain sustainability practices over time. Findings indicate that
stakeholder engagement mechanisms ensure adapting to stakeholders’ knowledge and
requirements in environmental matters, whereas capabilities that allow the integration and
transformation of sustainability-related knowledge are expected to help 3PLs successfully
implement and commercialise green innovation.
