In their companies, there is a great focus on applying strategies that reduce environmental
impacts as well as reducing costs, but a big challenge in green logistics is to strike the
right balance between ecology and economy. The companies focused mainly on reducing
CO2e generated from transportation and warehousing.
In this section, the findings from the research process, with a particular focus on this
CO2e reduction effort will be discussed and assessed. This is set out in four sections
which follow the format set up in the review of the literature, namely:
. the drivers of green logistics;
. the barriers inhibiting or preventing the development of green logistics;
. green logistics measurement techniques in practice; and
. green logistics initiatives.
