To examine how recent urban freight scholarship identifies stakeholders and represents their roles regarding environmental and procedural justice.
Conducted a systematic literature review analyzing 54 studies.
Applied a deductive–iterative coding approach to categorize identified stakeholders and evaluate their roles.
Identified 19 distinct stakeholders categorized into five groups: government, private sector, general public, academia, and labour & civil society.
Government and private-sector actors are predominantly foregrounded as central decision-makers and implementers.
The general public and labour & civil society groups remain underrepresented despite bearing disproportionate impacts from urban freight operations.
