Robotic Process Automation and Green Logistics: Towards Carbon-neutral Supply Chains

Abstract

In today's era of heightened environmental consciousness, the imperative to minimize carbon emissions and enhance sustainability within supply chains is more pronounced than ever. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) emerges as a promising technology to revolutionize logistics operations, offering efficiency gains while concurrently reducing carbon footprints. This paper investigates the symbiotic relationship between RPA and green logistics, elucidating how their integration can propel supply chains towards carbon neutrality. Drawing on existing literature and case studies, this research explores the potential of RPA in optimizing logistics processes, minimizing resource wastage, and mitigating emissions. Furthermore, it examines the challenges and opportunities presented by RPA deployment in fostering sustainability within supply chains. Ultimately, the paper underscores the transformative role of RPA in realizing carbon-neutral supply chains, highlighting the need for concerted efforts from industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers to leverage this technology for sustainable logistics practices.
