Development of Green Logistics Centers

Logistics and distribution centres represent very significant infrastructure elements of the macro-logistic system. The creation of the logistics and distribution centres and their connection into a wide (global) network have resulted in the creation of conditions for an adequate distribution of labour and significant increase in the productivity of all the logistics elements and processes, noting that the logistics and distribution centres in this concept have a superregional significance. This paper represents the idea how the term “green” has been developed and applied to the transportation industry and how to develop “green” logistics centers and other logistics facility’s. Due to that it will be defined a checklist of initiatives that should be considered for any modern logistics center, looking at sustainable best practices for both efficiency savings. A sustainable logistics center should be judged by how it fits into a finely tuned supply chain. While reducing environmental impacts caused by operations, improving inbound and outbound transportation of goods, and mitigating the effects of any harmful processes, bottom line benefits also accrue. But real leadership looks beyond the building to the big picture and to those operational questions that are critical to achieving large-scale, holistic sustainability.
