Grant, Trautrims, and Wong discuss issues pertaining to sustainable logistics and supply chain management (SCM), taking a holistic view across the chain from point of origin to point of
consumption. They introduce principles and practices that facilitate SCM and sustainable logistics operations, and consider factors of logistics and SCM affecting the natural environment beyond
the usual factors of road miles, fuel use and carbon dioxide emissions. There are nine chapters: logistics and supply chain management; science of sustainability; freight transport; sustainable
warehousing; product design, cleaner production and packaging; sustainable purchasing and procurement; reverse logistics and recycling; risk, corporate social responsibility and ethics;
sustainable logistics and supply chain management strategy. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
