Abstract

With the intensification of global climate change, carbon neutrality has become a global priority. As a high-energy-consumption and high-carbon-emission sector, the logistics industry’s green and low-carbon transformation is critical to achieving carbon neutrality goals. Third-party distribution centers (3DC), serving as core nodes in logistics systems, exhibit a strong correlation between operational efficiency and carbon emission levels. This study proposes a multi-objective optimization operational strategy model based on Stackelberg game theory, integrating three key objectives: economic costs, carbon emissions, and service quality. Findings demonstrate that optimizing distribution centers’ operational models, route planning, and energy utilization can significantly reduce carbon emissions while maintaining economic efficiency and customer satisfaction. A case study of a third-party cold chain distribution center validated the model’s effectiveness in cutting carbon emissions, optimizing costs, and enhancing service performance. The research provides theoretical foundations and actionable insights to advance green transformation in the logistics industry.
