GREEN LOGISTICS

Green logistics is an increasingly popular concept in the logistics field, with the aim of optimizing logistics operations to minimize negative impacts on the environment and increase the sustainability of the supply chain. Green Ocean will introduce to you green logistics information here!

What is green logistics? Green logistics is a sustainable approach in the field of logistics, aiming to minimize negative impacts on the environment during the transportation, storage and management of goods.

Green logistics includes practical solutions to reduce emissions and pollution caused by logistics activities. These solutions may include:

Green transportation: Use less polluting and less polluting means of transportation such as electric vehicles using clean energy, waterways, etc.;

Green packaging: minimizing waste during the packaging process such as recycling, reusing, packaging with degradable, biodegradable materials...;

Green logistics data management: applying technology to effectively manage data, improve logistics efficiency, reduce transportation and delivery time...;

Green Warehouse: Improve warehouse management to reduce rotting or damaged goods. Green logistics not only helps minimize negative impacts on the environment but also helps businesses increase efficiency and reduce costs. By promoting green logistics, we can build a more sustainable system for storing and transporting goods.

2. Benefits of green logistics for the environment, society and economy

Green logistics brings many environmental, social and economic benefits, including:

Minimize negative impacts on the environment: Green logistics helps reduce emissions and pollution caused by logistics activities. This helps protect the environment, minimize the impact of climate change and protect human health.

Cost savings: Green logistics helps reduce transportation and storage costs of goods by optimizing the transportation process, minimizing the number of vehicles needed, and optimizing warehouse management to minimize the amount of goods. divided, destroyed or damaged. This helps businesses reduce costs and increase efficiency. Increase supply chain sustainability: Green logistics helps increase supply chain sustainability by minimizing risk and dependence on unsustainable resources, such as fossil energy and water resources.

Increased competitiveness: Companies implementing green logistics can increase their competitiveness in the market by creating sustainable products and services and attracting environmentally conscious customers.

Create new business opportunities: Green logistics creates new business opportunities by developing sustainable products and services, improving risk management and creating value for customers.

3. Current status of green logistics development in Vietnam

Green activities are carried out throughout the supply chain, but Vietnamese companies only carry out green activities in a few links, most often focusing on warehousing services and the application of smart technologies, Environmental friendliness. In addition, green activities are also carried out through reverse logistics activities but are only carried out in Vietnamese retail businesses. In addition to activities related to infrastructure and legal institutions, Vietnam also creates conditions and greatly supports businesses to develop green logistics. Enterprises receive support from the Government, ministries and branches through circulars and decrees.
