Introduction
Road congestion, urban mobility, local air pollution and the need for COČ reductions and energy conservation will have a dramatic impact on the future supply chain of all industries. Companies will be forced to reduce the impact on the environment of their supply chains and will have to develop sustainable value chain strategies in the coming months and years.
The Green Logistics Consultants Group - a worldwide group of experts
Realising
environmental objectives can be done in synergy with other strategic and
financial goals. A green logistics
or sustainable supply chain
policy often reduces logistics costs as
it focuses on reducing energy consumption and
on
improving
the total supply chain. But it is also true that some economic trends, such
as a shift to more offshore manufacturing and more frequent JIT deliveries,
have a negative impact on the ecological performance of supply chains.
Whatever the effect on costs, it is obvious that environmental performance
indicators, the adoption of a green logistics policy and effective green
logistics measures will become important aspects of total supply chain
management in the near future.
Shippers and
retailers as well as transport companies, logistics service providers,
airport and port operators will have to integrate environmental values into
their decision making processes. A well-informed emission reduction strategy
will have to be developed by companies to meet future requirements.
The Green Logistics Consultants Group is an international collaborative network of supply chain consultants with a proven general or specific expertise in areas where companies or local and national governments can improve the environmental performance of their supply chains or transport infrastructure.
Our supply chain consultants support companies, authorities, governments and international organisations to develop a green logistics policy or sustainable supply chain and to realise an energy- and eco-efficient supply chain and transport infrastructure.
Within the Green Logistics Consultants Group, we develop and exchange environmental supply chain information, guidebooks and calculation tools. We have access to the latest knowledge, data, best practices and tools to investigate, measure, propose, implement and evaluate ambitious but realistic eco-efficient supply chain projects.
We participate with leading institutes to exchange information and to develop innovative solutions. Our clients benefit from our integrated expertise consolidated in local and international clusters of expertise.
Green logistics consultants are the logical choice to help your company to establish a logistics source emission inventory, to develop a sustainable logistics strategy and to realise tangible eco-efficient supply chain measures.
The Green Logistics Consultants Group covers technical innovations and other drivers such as distance, speed, supply chain configuration, transport modes, transport and warehouse asset utilisation, packaging, reverse logistics, waste logistics and cultural change. The focus is on a correct and transparent measurement of Energy consumption, Greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful pollutants and on Transport avoidance, Operational and Technological strategies to reduce energy consumption and emissions (more info).
