About the webinar
Sustainable logistics refers to supply chain management practices and strategies that reduce the environmental footprint and energy consumption of freight distribution. This clean logistics puts focus on material handling and waste management, the choice of appropriate packaging and containers and their transportation (Rodrigue, et al, 2017). In addition to the aforementioned official measures, many companies and private sector referents incorporate improvements with the double objective of reducing their energy consumption costs and offering transportation and logistics services compatible with the care and conservation of the environment.
With this in mind, the sustainable logistics community of practice is launched as an ongoing collaborative space to enable peer-to-peer learning, provide a deeper understanding of the options available to overcome barriers and access technical assistance. The exchange will provide insight into the different scales of application of this set of measures, starting at the regional and national level, and then focusing the analysis on urban spaces and issues in the following meetings.
In this webinar we will synthesize transportation growth trends, concepts related to clean -or green- logistics and explore a national sustainable transportation plan as an applied case and trigger for the first community discussion activity.
The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].
