Green Logistics: Additional Costs or Profit Growth?
Abstract
The trends in supply chain management from the standpoint of the concept of sustainable development and ESG standards (environmental, social and governance) are considered. The influence of supply chains and transport systems on the environment is analyzed. The main obstacles to the implementation of green solutions in supply chains are identified. It is shown that the main barrier is the lack of a systematic approach to the implementation of such solutions. An original approach to the formation and sustainable development of supply chains is proposed, based on the use of a system of principles and tools of green logistics with multi-criteria models and methods for making managerial decisions. An example of the implementation of the developed approach for the transport element of the supply chain is presented.
