Abstract


On the one hand, the increase in interest in logistic support, which is considered a new scientific-practical direction, is due to the demand for market-oriented development of the economy, on the other hand, the increasing costs of product production, fundamental changes in the philosophy of resource management, and the wide application of the marketing concept and computer technologies. related to factors. In this article, the Logistics Performance Index of Azerbaijan is analyzed in the context of cross-country comparison, the development of logistics support in terms of increasing non-oil exports, including agricultural exports in our republic, and the mechanisms applied in this field are considered, the measures applied in the Republic of Azerbaijan in order to increase the country's export potential Issues of improvement of "Green Corridor" release rules are being considered. The purpose of the study. The purpose of this article is to analyze the development of green logistics, study the experiences of countries, assess the existing opportunities in Azerbaijan, and examine the role of green skills in the formation and sustainable development of green logistics. The object of the study. The object of the research is to study the main approaches to solving the problems of green logistics. Research methods: The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the functional and system approaches to solving green logistics problems and their implementation for the effective solution of environmental problems. Their diagnostics and solution, as well as the solution of research problems became possible due to the use of theoretical and empirical research methods, statistical and system analysis. The main hypothesis of the follow-up. The research work will identify and analyze the problems and obstacles affecting the implementation of green logistics in Azerbaijan, and proposals for the use of green skills will be made to overcome these problems. The field of logistics plays an important role in the efficient movement of goods, services and information within supply chains. However, the traditional practices of logistics often have negative environmental and social impacts, and against the background of these challenges, the concept of green logistics has emerged as a sustainable approach to optimize logistics operations while minimizing negative environmental impacts. A number of factors characterizing the relevance of the topic can be listed: global focus on sustainability; environmental issues and climate change; Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); economic and competitive advantage; development policies of countries; local development issues and innovative approaches. Present of the main material. A comparative approach to the analysis of green logistics problems was carried out on the basis of the following indicators: environmental policy and information transparency of the enterprise, priority areas of activity and organization of the "green office", characteristics of the implementation of logistics and communication processes, management system and result. It allows us to determine the socio-ecological and economic guidelines of green logistics as a scientific and practical activity on safe strategic management of the supply chain, aimed at minimizing environmental risks and optimizing resource consumption. The need to adopt group practices is substantiated, including the creation of environmentally sustainable chains (environmental management, "green" procurement and taking into account environmental factors in choosing suppliers, eco-design, cooperation with customers) and security regulation in the field of such security, the ability of specialists in the functioning of "green" supply chains. Originality and practical significance. The originality and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that socio-ecological-economic benchmarks of green logistics, features and possibilities of functional and systemic approaches to solving its problems have been determined. The hypothesis of applying a systemic approach to solving problems of the negative impact of logistics efforts on the environment (disruption of groundwater ecosystems, deterioration of air, soil, water, etc.) underlies the construction of safe logistics systems and effective relationships in the supply chain, allows for a comprehensive assessment of the enterprise's activities at the level of specific characteristics and indicators. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Green logistics, which focuses on partnership with suppliers and consumers, lean manufacturing and transport and warehousing processes, loading and unloading operations, waste disposal, and organization of reverse flows, is associated with end-to-end management of material flows both in the direction of the consumer market and in the opposite direction. Consequently, green logistics and the identification of the features of the functional and system approaches to solving its problems, which represent the novelty of this work, imply the practical implementation of the principles of reverse, marketing, integrated logistics and environmental management. A comparative analysis of the experience of companies practicing environmentally oriented management of logistics activities, as well as approaches to solving green logistics problems, showed that in modern conditions of "changing environmental characteristics, as well as due to other challenges of economic reality" it is necessary to combine system and functional approaches, which contributes to the creation of a favorable opportunity to "preserve development variations as a necessary condition for ensuring the sustainability of the economic system."
