Are ‘green’ words backed by ‘green deeds’?
Last Updated: 26 November 2008
‘Green Logistics’ has become one of the major issues of the decade and impossible for anyone in the industry to avoid. All logistics companies boast of their environmental credentials, and manufacturers and retailers spend large amounts of money convincing people – and governments – of their ethical sourcing strategies. But is this just a passing trend, which will be quietly forgotten when economic times get hard, or is it here to stay?
In June 2008 Transport Intelligence and Kewill undertook a major survey examining how companies were reacting to environmental concerns. The survey was designed to probe beyond the public relations spin in order to identify what logisticians really felt about the new set of pressures they face. The survey attracted high levels of interest, with 450 respondents from around the world, representing the full spectrum of the logistics sector as well as manufacturers/retailers.
