Green logistics

“Green” Logistics – Is in the process of coming onto corporate radar screens, but companies need to see a cause and effect on profitability before they commit much more than superficial efforts toward green logistics. Everyone knows how important this is, but market analysts and investors likely won’t add much about green logistics into the “plus” column until it starts to impact overall profitability.
Continued activity (and hype) around “green” supply chains. From a supply chain perspective, most companies are focusing on the low-hanging fruit: optimizing their transportation operations, LEED certified buildings, minimizing/eliminating packaging, and considering carbon-footprint in network design (Llamasoft, Ilog, Infor, CarbonView, Maersk Logistics, and IBM all have solutions in this area). However, a lot more work is required on the standards front, which is starting to occur . Also, in my opinion, large-scale progress in this area won’t occur in the US and elsewhere without government intervention (e.g., regulations, tax/financial incentives, etc).
