About the Book

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.

Review :
"The 3rd edition of Green Logistics, edited and written by leading academics in the field of logistics, includes a number of new contributors and new case studies. The contributors look at the impact of logistics on the environment and its effect on priorities for logistics professionals and organisations. Ranging from operational to strategic perspectives on green logistics, the authors consider its implications for public policies and the future of supply chains." "The issues are topical and important to company managers and world public policy makers and it aims to provide a broad overview of the technical, managerial, economic and policy aspects of green logistics. [...] The publication includes extensive examples of companies 'greening' their logistics and of governments intensifying efforts to reduce the environmental damage done by freight movement." "By its nature, cargo transport almost universally has a negative impact on the environment, and contributes to problems including climate change, air and noise pollution, and traffic accidents. This book provides insight into these types of environmental impacts, and what steps companies can take to negate, lessen, or avoid them." "For company managers and policy makers around the world, McKinnon... et al. compile 17 chapters that examine the environmental consequences of the logistics relating to the transport, storage, and handling of products as they move from source to sale or consumption and how to deal with them effectively." "A fine recommendation for college-level business collections strong in product coordination and movement, from supply chains to delivery. Any college-level business collection needs this survey."
