An escalating alarm about the growth of climate change has illustrated the importance of green logistics practices,
especially in the global supply chain, where transportation and distribution sectors release more emissions. Supply chains
play a key role in the global economy, and at the same time, they are considered as primary contributors to emissions
accumulation. As there is huge pressure on businesses, especially within small and medium-sized enterprises, that force
them to align with sustainable practices, these small companies do not have opportunities to implement sustainable
practices due to the lack of resources, knowledge, and support in this field. Despite these companies' importance, their
impact and capability still unexplored. Subsequently, the main aim of this study is to explore how small and medium-sized
businesses (SMEs) could facilitate the reduction of carbon emissions and maintain the effective position of their work
