As global pressure increases for sustainable and transparent supply chains, logistics organisations are exploring ways to strengthen

environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed

ledger technologies (DLT) contribute to ESG integration in logistics. The study applies a qualitative desk research approach based

on secondary data from 2017–2025, including sustainability reports, port authority publications, and the industry press. The comparative

case analysis covers four Baltic logistics actors: the Port of Klaipėda (Lithuania), Vlantana (Lithuania), the Freeport of Riga/

Baltic Container Terminal (Latvia), and HHLA TK Estonia (Estonia). The findings show that Klaipėda’s LNG, OPS, and hydrogen

projects enhance environmental outcomes; the Vlantana Norge case exposes social and governance compliance risks; and Riga and

Tallinn demonstrate governance-oriented digitalisation through 5G networks and blockchain documentation. AI primarily supports

efficiency and risk detection, while DLT secures the transparency and auditability of ESG data. Together, they function as complementary

enablers of ESG reporting, though broader adoption requires regulatory alignment, interoperability, and investment in the

digital infrastructure.
