The freight transportation is a potential source of environmental sustainability degradation and having negative impact of supply chain performance. To address several negative impacts of freight logistical activities, this chapter develops a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for evaluating green freight transport practices (GFTP) used by the freight transport companies in emerging economy, i.e., India. The importance of GFTPs is computed with the help of fuzzy best–worst method (FBWM). This chapter presents the ranking of the GFTPs based on the linguistics input given by the industry expert. The proposed framework is validated with a case of the Indian freight transport industry. The FBWM based analysis reported that competitive pressure from other freight transport companies is an important factor for adopting green transport practices. The model robustness checked with the sensitivity analysis and rank variation is presented. The specific managerial implications of the research would help logistics managers in terms of promoting green freight transport in emerging economies.
