Abstract: Rapid industrialization has detrimental effect on the environment due to the increase in the pollution, waste and rapid consumption of natural resources. Environmental issues are very important for the overall strategy of the firm. However, research in the field of green logistics identifies several ways for companies to reduce the environmental impact of transport and logistics activities, including modal changes and intermodal solutions. It is treated as a factor of the cost. Some companies have already taken external costs of logistics associated especially with the environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, and noise into account. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between green logistic awareness (GLA) and business performance. Research hypotheses were proposed and examined while considering three drivers of GLA such as transportation, warehouse, and packaging. The research was conducted in Pasir Gudang and Batu Pahat. The hypothesis of this research is that there is a positive relationship between green logistic awareness and business performance. The finding of the study shows that GLA such as transportation, warehouse and packaging exhibit significant relationship with business performance.
