The activities which are mostly related to the environmental performance need to be pointed, especially how logistics systems influence on environmental performance. This paper analyses how company could lead the initiative in this area by incorporating environmental management principles into their daily activities. The analysis is based on literature review about logistics and environment, the information from company R website as well as face-to-face interviews. A case study is given to show how they can turn practices into green while simultaneously meet the efficiency objectives. The research results show that the adoption of EMS and ISO 14001 certification is an effective tool for the logistics management. Such practices simultaneously reduce the negative contribute to better company performance. The results also show that the emissions to air and water, and energy consumption are the main logistics impacts to the environment.

Environmental Logistic Management, Stakeholders Pressures and Sustainable Performance
Journal of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, 2021
Recently, manufacturing firms faced pressure from stakeholders to adopt environmentally friendly business practices, as it became necessary to identify environmental practices that enhance sustainability performance.As growing amount of studies have focused on environmental logistic management (ELM) practices that incorporate ecological thinking, these practices are expected to affect environmental impact of organizations. The aim of this study is to review the various literatures on the relationship between ELM practices, stakeholders pressure and sustainability performance. Furthermore, this study aims to propose a reasonable conceptual model to clarify the relationship between these three variables in the context of the Palestinian manufacturing sector. The research findings will be specifically imperative for manufacturing organizations with the aim of improving their sustainability.
Environmental Performance Assessment in Two Logistic Operations: Transportation and Warehousing
2010
This paper presents and tests a method for measuring environmental performance in industrial service operations. The research method was the double case study. The objects were two logistic operations: transportation and warehousing. Enviroonmental performance of a industrial service operation was treated as an intangible top term, formed by five latent constructs: atmospheric emissions, liquid effluents, solid wastings, usage of natural and energetic resources and management and law-requisites and certification accomplishments. The first four constructs have direct impact in environment. The last is a prior and necessary condition for the others. Six experts in environmental management, with the aid of the multicriterial method AHP, distributed 100 percentage points between the five constructs. The more important was management and law-requisites; the second in importance was usage of resources. Constructs were appraised by indicators and assessed by questionnaires answered by mana...

Logistics and Its Environmental Impacts
The 7th International Scientific Conference "Business and Management 2012". Selected papers, 2012
Nowadays logistics plays a significant factor in competitive strategies based on leadership within costs, differentiation (also within logistics service), shortening time cycles and the use of the company's capacities. The management-oriented integration of all logistics functions and processes becomes more important, because it is conditioning not only effective enterprise modernisation, but also opening new possibilities of solving problems and using potential effects in the operating and strategic activities. The number of motor vehicles on our roads is huge and still growing. The advantages of increased mobility need to be weighed against the environmental, social and economic costs that transport systems pose.
Selected Environmental Aspects in the Context of the Concept of CSR in Logistics Companies
Economic and Environmental Studies, 2017
Corporate social responsibility is a complex concept, where ecology is one of the key elements. From the point of view of logistics, care for the environment and respect for non-renewable resources is a particularly important issue. The essence of logistics is the movement of people and cargo, that is possible only by using a certain amount of energy. Companies operating in this sector, by definition cannot, therefore, be neutral with respect to the environment. They can, however, minimize the ecological footprint. In practice, it turns out that the involvement of businesses in this area is varied. The aim of the article is to assess ecological facet of logistics companies' activity and their differentiation in this area according to their specialization. Statistical analysis of selected environmental aspects shows a weak ecological score of logistics companies compared to other industries. What is more, ecological score of logistics businesses is varied between specialization groups. In overall, the leading group of companies is transportation infrastructure which reached the highest average score. The only sector which significantly lags behind the others is road and rail. It turns out that the most problematic ecological aspects for assessed companies are: reduction of hazardous waste and air emissions other than GHG, and environmental requirements in relation to suppliers.
A literature review on environmental concerns in logistics: trends and future challenges
International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 2020
This study contributes to the discussion in that, the study integrates reverse logistics, closed-loop logistics, green logistics and environmental logistics in a review and presents a generic conceptual model for understanding the implementation process of environmental practices in logistics. However, little effort has been reviewed on environmental concerns in logistics such as reverse logistics, green logistics, closed-loop logistics/supply chain and environmental logistics. The 2009-2018 data was collected from the Scopus and Web of Science. The metadata analysis reveals descriptive information such as influential authors, journals, subject area, top publishing countries, most common words used in the titles etc. The content analysis reveals the development of four broad classifications of the extant literature, namely concept and theory development, drivers and barriers, presentation of optimisation models and assessment and evaluation.
