<div><div><p>Logistics aims to co-ordinate the movement of products through the supply chain in a way that meets customer requirements at minimum cost. In the past this cost has been defined in purely monetary terms.&#160;However, as concern for the environment rises, companies must take more account of the external costs of logistics associated with climate change, air pollution, noise, vibration and accidents.&#160;<i><br>Green Logistics</i> analyzes the environmental consequences of logistics and how to&#160;redress them. Written by a leading team of logistics academics, the book examines ways of reducing these impacts and achieving a more sustainable balance&#160;among economic, environmental, and social objectives. It examines key areas in this important subject including:<br>* Carbon auditing of supply chains<br>* Transferring freight to &#8220;greener&#8221; transport modes<br>* Developing &#8220;greener&#8221; vehicles, aircrafts and ships<br>* Reducing the environmental impact of warehousing<br>* Improving fuel efficiency in freight transport<br>* Making city logistics more environmentally sustainable<br>* Reverse logistics for the management of waste<br>* The role of the government in promoting sustainable logistics</p></div></div>
