The understanding of sustainability can be applied in almost every sector, and has a very wide impact in the logistics sector. Today, taking into account the sustainability criteria is among the basic conditions of doing business for companies in the supply chain, and it is becoming more and more important. In this study, 15 articles that studied with sustainable logistics criteria between 2008 and 2020 are reviewed and the sustainable logistics criteria included in each study are determined. These 103 logistics criteria, which are determined, are ranked in importance by Pareto analysis, in consultation with expert academicians and logistics sector employees, and it is concluded that 33 criteria can be more important than others. These criteria are transport optimization, energy and fuel efficiency, production and distribution planning, environmental conditions, well-connected information and goods flows, internal resources efficiency, effectiveness, and utilization, selection of fuel type to be used, choice of mode of transport and intermodal transport, energy use, waste management, recycle efficiency, vehicle selection and efficiency, logistics cost optimization, using advanced technology and software in logistics activities, minimum energy consumption, economic factors, greenhouse gas emissions, reduced packaging, supply chain integration, consumer awareness studies, social factors, logistics competence, reverse logistics applications, government rules and regulations, sustainability behavioral cautiousness, use of recycled material, increasing awareness, organizational support, employee benefits, green packaging, consumer behavior, infrastructure, product value. With the understanding that it is possible to minimize the damage caused by the sector to the environment with an effective sustainability strategy, if these sustainable logistics criteria are given importance, logistics companies will reach a competitive level in the field of sustainability.
