“Given the current environment challenges it is important that organisations are aware of all the risk factors that limit their ability to move goods efficiently and reliably to consumers.” (Ebrahim:228, 2019).

“Sustainability has taken many forms over the years, dependent upon the nature and requirements of an organisation. This broad discipline has led to the varying definitions of sustainability, one of which, common in modern practices is “corporate social responsibility”.” (Ramgovind:250, 2019).

Modern day businesses that operate across borders face the complexity of navigating terrains and legal jurisdictions while keeping a steady focus on sustainability issues. Many have found these layered and integrated issues challenging to navigate, while others have found ways to cut through the clutter and get products/services delivered effectively and efficiently. While the focus is on making profits, growing customer bases and sustaining organisations – there is also a keen focus on managing transportation risks and delivering goods/services sustainably.
