CORPORATE CULTURE IN RELATION TO A SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS ORGANIZATION

The rapidly changing global environment in which logistics organizations operate requires an appropriate and rapid organizational response and, consequently, an appropriate corporate culture. Due to the increasing awareness of environmental issues, organizations are being forced to take measures aimed at reducing environmental impacts and optimizing the use of resources. There is also an urgent need for greater social equality, which requires organizations to adapt their businesses, apply modern approaches to management, and change their organizational culture from what was considered successful not long ago. Organizational culture is a common philosophy of employees in every organization, and it includes stakeholders and the environment of the organization. The purpose of this research was to examine what an organizational culture that supports the concept of sustainability should look like. A qualitative approach, based on documentary analysis of previously studied theories of corporate culture and concepts of a sustainable organization, was used. The results show that the right choice of organizational culture typology is of great importance in integrating sustainability into the organization. A sustainably oriented organization must also have a strong organizational culture in place, but it must be continuously nurtured, upgraded, and explored.
