PurposeThe priority giving to green practices in today's competitive market has made green logistics management practices (GLMPS) a significant driver of organizational performance. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of GLMPS, logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability on sustainability performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses structured questionnaires to gather data from 274 managers of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The partial least square structural equation modeling approach is used to analyze the data to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results obtained from the analysis indicate that GLMPS positively influence social sustainability and environmental sustainability. However, GLMPS negatively influence business performance. The results further reveal that logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability augment GLMPS to achieve significant improvement in both business performance and environmental sustainability through the mediation effect approach.Originality/valueThe study proposes a conceptual framework that tests the combined effect of GLMPs, logistics ecocentricity and supply chain traceability on environmental sustainability, social sustainability and business performance from the Ghanaian perspective.

The GPS system is in order to the logistics and transport process. Customers through the GPS system can real-time understanding of the goods in transit, and projections to reach the destination time. GPS can provide the vehicle location, security, anti-robbery, driving the route monitoring and call conductor. To achieve all of the above features must have the three elements of the GPS terminal, transmission network and monitoring platform. Intelligent logistics management system goal is precisely for large and medium-sized logistics enterprises a set of functional, practical and intelligent logistics solutions for the rapid response capability. The paper puts forward the design of GPS-based intelligent logistics management system.
