During the recent decades, logistics have become of extreme importance for
companies' supply chains. At the same time, their environmentally friendly "green"
operations have been urgently needed for the reduction of their negative
consequences. For the protection of the environment and societies governments have
created the relevant regulatory frameworks that address the multiple aspects of
logistics. Furthermore, companies implement measures that reduce resource
consumption and minimize pollutants from their products' transportation and storage
processes, both on their way to the end consumer and vice versa.
The attitude of multinationals can be considered of great importance. Because of
their capacity, these companies can increasingly apply the social responsibility model.
This, among other aspects of the companies, applies on the design and
implementation of logistics processes, with the aim of reducing the environmental
impact, towards sustainable development.
