Green Initiatives in Environmental Management of Logistics Companies

Many companies are under pressure to be more environmentally responsible and the rising attention to the greener solutions does not leave logistics aside. The service and transport sectors are traditionally assumed to have a smaller environmental impact than manufacturing sectors. Nevertheless, some service sectors, such as the logistics industry, consume natural resources and generate contaminants, and thus need to address more efforts on environmental management. Environmental issues have also become an important element of environmental management and strategies which require commitment to the natural environment via voluntarily implemented green initiatives in logistics companies. In response to that, it is worth studying the factors which have the important impact on green initiatives for logistics companies.
