Abstract: The detrimental effects of climate change on the economy and the environment have been established through studies, representing how this issue has become a complex global challenge. Previous research has advocated swift action to protect all life from potential threats. A previous study has also endorsed various sustainability initiatives to address the worsening climate change induced by economic operations. As a result, businesses must begin taking action and delegating workers to reduce the amount of carbon that they emit. The absence of previous research investigating carbon governance and low-carbon warehousing in Malaysian manufacturing industries served as the impetus for this investigation. A case study approach was used for this research via semi-structured, in-person interviews with three companies. The results showed that all the companies were concerned with the low carbon warehouse governance. A few organisational theories were identified to be the best fit in supporting the low carbon warehouse governance.

Keywords: carbon governance; warehouse; low carbon warehouse; operational excellence; case study; Malaysia.
