Purpose: It is becoming increasingly difficult for individual companies to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions in logistics. One of the tools that can bring measurable results in terms of the effects of low-carbon logistics in the B2B area is the sharing economy. The aim of the article is to identify the relationship between the use of the sharing economy concept and the economic and ecological effects achieved in low-carbon logistics.

Design/methodology/approach: Empirical research was conducted in a group of 250 enterprises in the first quarter of 2023. An electronic questionnaire was used to conduct the research.

Findings: The use of the sharing economy concept for logistics resources allocation is a tool for achieving the goals of low-carbon logistics. The conducted empirical research confirmed the relationship between the use of the sharing economy and selected economic and ecological effects of enterprises in the area of low-carbon logistics.

Research limitations/implications: The period in which the research was conducted was very difficult for the functioning of enterprises due to the post-pandemic times. In the future studies should be repeated for comparative analysis.

Practical implications: The surveyed companies, indicated that logistics is an area which offers significant potential for sharing resources. Achieving the goals of low-carbon logistics is possible without significant capital involvement, a fact that has been indicated so far as a basic barrier to the development of pro-ecological practices in the field of logistics.

Originality/value: The article identifies the relationship between the use of the sharing economy concept and economic and ecological results in low-carbon logistics achieved by enterprises.(original abstract)
