El. knyga: Green Logistics: Improving the Environmental Sustainability of Logistics

"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." * Dorothea Carvalho, Director of Professional Development, Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) * "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." * Supply Management * "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." * Inbound Logistics * "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." * Book News, Inc. * "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." * California Bookwatch, The Business Shelf, Midwest Book Review *
