Description

This session serves to introduce Customs Agents and Freight logisticians to the concepts and the importance of Green Logistics and Sustainability planning in their business operations. The one-day training workshop will cover general ideas of the Green Economy and guide participants in understanding the strategic differences between the traditional approach to logistics management and the sustainable approach referred to as green logistics. The workshop will encourage participants to consider sustainability planning in their logistics management processes and procedures as they map out a future that embraces Green Logistics.

Objectives

Green logistics seeks to: ● Measure the carbon footprint of logistics operations to establish a starting point for considering sustainability measures and controlling their results. One of the most widespread methodologies for calculating energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is the UNE-EN 16258:2013 international standard. ● Reduce air, soil, water, and noise pollution by analyzing the impact of each logistics area, especially those related to transport. ● Use supplies rationally by reusing containers and recycling packaging. ● Spreading sustainability to the supply chain, eco-logistics is also shaped by the design of products and their packaging. Both must be designed to minimize their environmental impact. The key topics to be covered are: ● General overview of Logistics and Supply Chain management ● Introduction of the Green Economy and the implementation of the Green Logistics ● Strategic differences between Green Logistics and the Traditional approach ● Transitioning to Green Logistics and Sustainability Planning
