      abstract = {ISO certification standards have the potential to improve supply chain management's paradigm shift towards sustainability and circularity. In order to incorporate all supply chain partners and important stakeholders from the public and private sectors with regulatory and policy responsibilities, sustainability practices in the logistics sector must be separated from the focal enterprise alone. In order to comprehend the roles of stakeholder pressure, business competitiveness, and environmental protection in the adoption of certification standards and their subsequent impact on sustainability practices, this study reviewed the literature on certification standards and applied ecological modernization theory. Regression analysis was used in the study to create a model for the association between ISO standards and the adoption of sustainable practices in Kenya's logistics sector. According to the survey, ISO certification standards are becoming more and more important in encouraging the logistics sector to adopt sustainable practices. The small sample size and focus on a single industry?the supply chain managers and operations managers of third- and fourth-party logistics companies in Kenya?were the study's limitations. Additionally, only the ISO requirements were taken into account, ignoring additional variables that can have an impact on the adoption of sustainable practices. Future research must take into account more influencing elements and increase the study's industries, regions, and sample frame. The paper will be extremely helpful since it adds theoretical and practical knowledge about how certification requirements affect the implementation of successful sustainability programs in the supply chain management as a whole, not only in the logistics sector. One of the rare studies that examines the application of the tripods of sustainability in a single overarching framework is this one, which combines the main ISO standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18000, and SA 8000). In light of the dangers posed by climate change, growing rivalry, and depleting global resources, it provides a more substantial theoretical contribution to the implementation of sustainability.},
