Title
Green logistics: Comparability of the environmental effects of logistics services
Abstract
The identification of relevant control levers is required for the realisation of logistics services that are efficient in terms of resources and energy. In the "Green Logistics" project, a standardised, comprehensive and usage-related method for the ecological assessment of logistics processes and systems is being developed, i.e., a method that integrates the segments of logistics real estate and business premises, intralogistics and transport. This method will create the necessary transparency. The methodology and instruments to be developed and/or further developed for this purpose will be transferred into a certification system. A system definition was conducted on the applicability of the existing methods and standards in which the relevant gaps were identified that are to be closed through "Green Logistics". These include the availability of valid data sources and key data. Electricity consumption measurements will be conducted to produce key data for the usage-related apportionment of the electricity consumption at logistics facilities locations.
