Abstract

For a number of years, environmental issues have been a growing concerns in society, particularly in the business practices. Under influences of lobby, customers or stakeholders, the idea of sustainable development and of ecological respect has become more popular. Thus, as many other activities within the firms, logistics was not an exception, and had to face these new challenges. This concept has been called "green logistics" or "environmental logistics", suggesting that logistics should be more environmentally friendly. In this essay, we will try to discuss about the introduction of this concept and its integration within the firms. First, we will see that logistics is particularly concerned with the problems resulting from the environmental issues. Then, by looking at legislation and norms, we will see that "green issues" are more and more imposed to the firms, and finally we will be able to discuss about the opportunities and implementation of "green logistics".
