The present thesis was prepared in the framework of the Postgraduate Program of Studies in the Department of Industrial Management and Technology of the University of Piraeus in the field of Logistics Management. In the second chapter, the theoretic part attempts to analyze various concepts such as logistics and supply chain. The importance of the supply chain in the modern business world is then highlighted, followed by an assessment of the factors that will affect the industry in the coming years.
Chapter 3 first discusses Sustainability as a key factor in modern business. Describe the role of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and EWS (European Water Stewardship) organizations and how their standards and benchmarks contribute to business sustainability. Following is the European Union's legislative framework where it enhances sustainability in the supply chain of enterprises.
Following is Chapter 4 which describes the green supply chain and the reasons for integrating green logic into the supply chain. It stresses the importance of ISO 14001 as an environmental management system and the steps a company must take to obtain certification. The next section proposes practices that can be described as green for the supply chain. The advantages of any business practice are then analyzed and highlighted. Green practices are linked to performance in the supply chain. The following is an example of a multinational company incorporating green practices into its supply chain as well as evaluating these practices based on what was mentioned in previous chapters. The work concludes with the conclusions about the results of the work and new ideas for future research.
