U&I Logistics - Today, the majority of consumers actively seek out brands that are eco-conscious in their sourcing, packaging, and production of goods towards environmental benefits. Therefore, "green logistics" is being widely used and maintained by most businesses in Vietnam as well as around the world. Let's join U&I Logistics to find out the benefits that green logistics bring to the environment and businesses right in the article below!

Why might green logistics be both good for the environment as well as for business?

1. What is green logistics?

Green logistics consists in using more eco-friendly and sustainable processes in order to reduce the environmental impact of logistics.

Many customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and starting to focus on choosing “green companies”. Therefore, many businesses are making efforts to achieve goals to minimize ecological impacts in logistics activities, such as:

  • Reduce Carbon Emissions
  • Solving the problem of waste treatment
  • Green warehousing
  • Using modern technology to reduce environmental pollution
  • etc.

Green logistics helps businesses in making better use of the natural environment and improving competitiveness and business performance. Not only that, green logistics helps you win over customers, cut costs, and contribute to a cleaner environment for future generations

Main benefit of green logistics is that it helps to minimize waste. A majority of companies are centralizing and digitizing documentation, records, and operational data within integrated online systems, as opposed to paper file-keeping. This radically reduces the amount of paper waste needed for production and also streamlines operations by having customer insights, inventory data, and order management all in one place. 

Green logistics strategies also reduce the amount of plastic waste that’s part of the packaging process. Switching to renewable resources and implementing recycling best practices cuts down on the amount of plastic needed for deliveries. (Source: Flowspace)
