The Role of Shared Strategic Values in Achieving Sustainable Success in Global Logistics Enterprises

Summary/Abstract: Strategic values play a pivotal role in the long-term success of logistics enterprises, influencing interactions with customers, employees, and stakeholders, and driving sustainable outcomes. In the context of the global logistics sector, the identification and alignment of strategic values are essential for maintaining competitive advantage and fostering resilience. This study systematically investigates the strategic values of the world’s 50 leading logistics companies, focusing on those most strongly associated with sustainable success. Using a qualitative approach, content analysis was employed to evaluate and interpret the strategic documents of these enterprises, revealing key values that contribute significantly to sustainability. Among the values identified, reliability, customer-centricity, and operational efficiency were found to be most influential in ensuring both operational and strategic sustainability. These values were consistently embedded within corporate practices, shaping decision-making processes, stakeholder engagement, and long-term growth strategies. The findings indicate that the integration of sustainability as a core strategic value is critical for enduring success in an increasingly competitive and environmentally conscious market. The results provide valuable insights for both academics and practitioners, offering a framework for logistics companies to refine their strategic management practices and align their operations with sustainable development goals. By highlighting the strategic values that underpin sustainable growth, this study contributes to the understanding of how logistics enterprises can navigate the complex challenges of the modern business environment.
