Cover Story: This study investigates the role of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) in solving sustainable logistics challenges, highlighting its ability to provide efficient, sustainability-aligned solutions. Key trends include increased research since 2019, emphasizing routing, scheduling, and location problems, with hybrid and multiobjective optimization approaches addressing sustainability trade-offs. The most frequently applied versions align with those commonly used in the broader literature. Recent advancements focus on adaptive VNS mechanisms influenced by Artificial Intelligence, highlighting the need for more dynamic and intelligent optimization techniques. Research gaps persist in addressing uncertainty, dynamic systems, social sustainability, and standard benchmarks.
