GREEN LOGISTICS PRACTICES IN TURKEY

Year 2017, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 116 - 124, 30.06.2017

Abstract

Purpose- Since the
beginning of the 1990’s, researches on using environmentally friendly
technologies in logistic practices to mitigate the damage to environment have
begun. A new application area, green logistic, has emerged which takes
environmental and social factors into consideration, which is interested with
the goods that are produced and distributed in a sustainable manner, and that
aims to minimize energy consumption in logistics activities, minimize wastes
and manage operations. This study aims to present the green logistics practices
in Turkey. 

Methodology- The
indicators table was prepared with datas from literature review, face-to-face
interviews with firms in the scope of the research field and questionnaire with
questions about activities. Face-to-face and phone calls with company
officials, sustainability reports from the green logistics sector, and articles
and news on the internet related to the subject were utilized.

Findings- It is
determined that logistics companies in Turkey adopt green logistics
indicators. 

Conclusion- The study
reveals that green logistics applications are seen in Turkey and companies are
trying to enrich their business policies with a green point of view and that
green logistics will provide competitive advantages in terms of logistics
companies in the coming years.
