Leading the way in current thinking on environmental logistics, Green Logistics provides a unique insight on the environmental impacts of logistics and the actions that companies and governments can take to deal with them. It is written by leading researchers in the field and provides a comprehensive view of the subject for students, managers and policy-makers. Fully updated, the 3rd edition of Green Logistics has a more global perspective than previous editions. It introduces new contributors and international case studies that illustrate the impact of green logistics in practice. There is a new chapter on the links between green logistics and corporate social responsibility and a series of postscripts examining the effects of new developments, such as 3D printing, distribution by drone, the physical internet and the concept of peak freight. Other key topics examined include: carbon auditing of supply chains; transferring freight to greener transport modes; reducing the environmental impact of warehousing; improving the energy efficiency of freight transport; making city logistics more environmentally sustainable; reverse logistics for the management of waste; role of government in promoting sustainable logistics. The 3rd edition of Green Logistics includes indispensable online supporting materials, including graphics, tables, chapter summaries, and guidelines for lecturers.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,3, Cologne University of Applied Sciences (Schmalenbach), language: English, abstract: What is the main motivation for the implementation of environmentally friendly concepts by logistics companies? Are there really noble goals behind this movement or is it more based on the improvement of their public image? The goal of this Bachelor thesis is to identify clearly if the measures of the logistics and transport sectors are just to improve their image or if they want to make a significant and real contribution to environmental protection. Furthermore, it will analyse if the implementation of these ecological strategies comes along with economic advantages. To be able to answer these questions, different exemplary “Green Logistics” concepts will be considered critically with a focus on the implementation of alleged environmentally friendly measures in the transport and logistics sector. In recent years, climate change and global warming were again and again big topics in politics, the economy and society. International debate about greenhouse gases as well as noise and fine dust pollution attracted considerable attention from the public. According to the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is becoming obvious that the causes of climate change are the greenhouse gases. This has led to an increased awareness for environmental protection by the general public in relation to the importance for the current and the next generations. Due to various actions and events, for instance, the nuclear accident in Fukushima and flood disasters in central Europe, the topic of environmental protection has developed as an important element of human action. The essential reason for global warming is the way in which humans live their lives. In particular, in the western countries the way of life has changed drastically with the introduction of industrialization. Therefore, large quantities of coal, oil and gas are burned resulting in a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). That is why the industrialised countries have to carry such a big responsibility when it comes to protecting the environment.

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: Distinction / 78%, University of Westminster, course: Logistics and Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: The logistics sector is growing rapidly. Freight transport has increased by 31 per cent between 1995 and 2005. As the volume of world trade rises, the European Commission predicts a further 50 per cent increase by 2020. But the logistics sector faces a number of challenges. Besides globalisation, means supply chains have become longer and more complex, increasing traffic congestion and soaring fuel prices, the logistics industry faces public and state environmental concerns, such as air and water pollution, energy con- sumption or waste disposal. Studies show that transportation and logistics can account for up to 75 per cent of a business's carbon footprint. National governments and the European Union have therefore introduced a number of measures to 'green' transport and in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Policy-makers and their policies and regulations on sustainable logistics are assumed to play a critical role in the future development of sustainable logistics. The key research questions are Q1: How do 3PL companies see their current corporate activity in terms of sustainable logistics dependent on governmental policies and regulations? Q2: To what extent do 3PL firms think that governmental policies and regulations are necessary in order to shift the industry towards more sustainability? Q3: How do 3PLs assess the role of subcontractors on this topic and how will the logistics market be influenced by policies on sustainable logistics? The selection of the sampling is based on the exploratory sample which helps to generate deep insights into new ideas and people's expertise. In total, five logistics experts were questioned through telephone and face-to-face semi-structured interviews. All experts work in different leadin

Solving Transport Problems establishes fundamental points and good practice in resolving matters regarding green transportation. This is to prompt further research in conveyance issues by providing readers with new knowledge and grounds for integrated models and solution methods. Focusing on green transportation, this book covers various sub-topics and thus consists of diverse content. Traditionally, academia and transport practitioners have mainly concentrated on efficient fleet management to achieve economic benefits and better-quality service. More recently, due to growing public environmental concerns and the industry understanding of the issue, the academic community has started to address environmental issues. The studies of green transportation compiled in this book have identified certain areas of interest, such as references, viewpoints, algorithms and ideas. Solving Transport Problems is for researchers, environmental decision-makers and other concerned parties, to start discussion on developing optimized technology and alternative fuel-based integrated models for environmentally cleaner transport systems.
