摘要

As businesses are increasingly pressured to adopt more sustainable practices, reducing the environmental footprint of logistics operations is one topic that gains ever-greater attention. For instance, freight transport, warehousing, and material handling activities have been estimated to account for roughly 10 percent of worldwide CO_2 emissions (p. 4). However, making substantive reductions in logistics-related pollution will require more than changing out old warehouse light bulbs! Indeed, the area of green logistics is expansive and growing in scope and importance. Unfortunately, firms sometimes struggle to keep up with new sustainability-focused logistics standards and regulations, and developing and implementing cost-effective programs remains elusive. This book provides a broad survey of the topic of green logistics and investigates ways that firms can balance economic, environmental, and social objectives.
