ABSTRACT

Mesjasz-Lech (2012) points out that green logistics includes the whole of activities interrelated to the eco-efficient management of the flows of products and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption with the aim to meet or exceed customers demand at minimum cost. In other words green logistics term combines the environmental attributes and logistics activities to manage them in the approach which take into consideration the importance of environment in all decision making activities, operations and processes of logistics (Pishvee et al. 2012). On the foundations of acknowledgment that respective enterprises environmental influence expands well further than their companies borders, Klassen & Johnson (2004) settled their vision of green supply chain (Brzeziński, Brzozowska, Korombel 2014) management as the arrangement and integration of environmental management within supply chain management. Aksoy (et al. 2014) indentify green logistics with producing and distributing products in sustainable way, taking into account the environmental and social factors. Green logistics forces all users logistics system, to consider how their actions affect the environment. The main objective of green logistics is to coordinate all activities in such a way that while the use of their supply chains in the most efficient way, minimizing the cost was going to be borne by the environment (Bajdor 2012).
