Sažetak
This study assesses the green logistics market performance of the top twenty emerging markets identified in the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index (AEMLI) report. The primary emerging markets—China, India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Qatar, Thailand, Vietnam, Chile, Türkiye, Brazil, Oman, Russia, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Uruguay, and South Africa—serve as benchmarks for evaluating logistics efficiency and environmental performance. The decision model for this study encompasses seven criteria: Domestic Logistics Opportunity, International Logistics Opportunity, Business Fundamentals, Digital Readiness, Ecosystem Vitality, Environmental Health, and Climate Change. These criteria were derived from a thorough literature review. Data were obtained from the AEMLI and Environmental Performance Index (EPI) reports published by Agility & Transport Intelligence and the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy. Criterion weights were established using the Symmetry Point of Criterion (SPC). The ranking of alternatives employed several MCDM methods: Ranking of Alternatives with Weights of Criterion (RAWEC), Ranking the Solutions based on the Mean Value of Criteria (RSMVC), Stable Preference Ordering Towards Ideal Solution (SPOTIS), and the Extended Alternative Ranking Order Method with two-step normalization (AROMAN). The results were aggregated using the Borda Count Method. Findings from the SPC reveal that the international logistics opportunity is the most significant criterion, whereas business fundamentals rank as the least important. The Borda Count analysis indicates that China, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil consistently rank as top performers across various methods. Conversely, Türkiye, Indonesia, Kuwait, Bahrain, South Africa, and Vietnam generally show lower rankings across most methods. Additionally, sensitivity and comparative analyses were conducted to enhance the robustness of the findings. The results of this study are anticipated to provide valuable insights into the green logistics market performance of selecting emerging markets.
