The development of the modern logistics industry in China is relatively backward, and the logistics industry has always shown characteristics of high emissions, high energy consumption, and high pollution. The low-carbon transformation and development of the logistics industry has become a prominent issue. At present, research on low-carbon logistics mainly focuses on its definition and characteristics. The research on its influencing factors is mostly qualitative analysis, and there is relatively little research on performance evaluation. This article establishes a performance evaluation index system from the perspective of low-carbon environmental protection, including information technology level, warehousing, transportation, packaging, etc., and constructs a comprehensive evaluation model that combines an analytic hierarchy process with data envelopment analysis for low-carbon logistics performance evaluation. By reviewing the collected data and taking five logistics enterprises in China as examples, the feasibility of low-carbon logistics performance evaluation indicators and models was verified.
