Motivation: Reverse Logistics is part of the concept of Sustainable Supply Chain Management, which is the supply chain consideration of the economic, environmental and social goals of all the stakeholders. These considerations should be balanced in a so-called Triple Bottom Line approach. However, literature approaching the social aspects is almost inexistent and the Triple Bottom Line approach is not common when examining the supply chain problems. The study focuses on companies operating in the Swedish market, since the country is an example in many TBL aspects. Moreover, the study is limited to the fashion apparel industry due to its high amount of returns.  Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explain how Reverse Logistics in the fashion industry can contribute to the social dimension of Triple Bottom Line, as well as to identify the tools and strategies used by the fashion companies to balance the trade-offs between the Triple Bottom Line dimensions in the context of Reverse Logistics and explain the reasons behind the decisions.  Approach: This is a multiple case study of six companies. Both primary (semi-structured interviews) and secondary (corporate reports and websites) sources were used to collect data. The empirical data was analyzed using pattern matching, first each case individually and thereafter cross-case analyses were performed.  Conclusions: The social contribution of Reverse Logistics in the fashion industry is mainly limited to donations to charity. In addition, it is not focused on the workforce, as suggested by the literature. Regarding the trade-offs in Triple Bottom Line, most of the fashion firms do not recognize them in the context of Reverse Logistics. Therefore, companies do not need to prioritize the Triple Bottom Line dimensions or use tools to balance them.

Traditional product features such as price, quality and supply service have been extended and nowadays includes environmental aspects as well. It raises new and increasing demands on haulier companies. The transport sector is responsible for a large part of the pollutants causing today’s environmental problems. The business is being closely monitored and to operate environmental friendly is seen as one of the most important elements for the industry’s future development. Haulier companies must not only meet the restrictions of the government, but also respond to the customers’ demands on environmental performance. The aim of the study is to review the environmental demands of PNLs present customers and what they think their demands will look like in three years time. The scope of the survey is two-fold. The study will partly review if the changing environmental aspects can impact on supply service and price; and partly investigate the importance of an environmental certification. To reach the aim of the study qualitative interviews have been carried out with nine of PNLs present customers. The choice of customers has been made to represent an overall picture of PNLs customer portfolio. The study concluded that supply service and price is more important than environmental aspects today. The customers are prone to compromise on delivery time and price to the advantage of the environment. But it can not cost too much or take too long, and there must be a possible choice of transport. There are today no expressed environmental demands on transport, but the conclusion is that it is only a matter of time before they will prevail. The results prove that environmental issues are estimated to be fundamental for hauliers in the future. It is seen as a competitive advantage to be at the leading edge of offering green transportation alternatives. It is considered important today that hauliers pursue environmental issues aggressively. A certification according to ISO or other environmental management systems is considered less important. The results show that environmental management systems and an operative environmental framework will increase in importance in the future when choosing between hauliers.

Atividades econômicas são geradoras de impactos ambientais resultante de suas operações, incluindo o setor das empresas de logística. Este tema tem atraído considerável atenção da comunidade científica internacional, entretanto, estudos sobre o tema no Brasil são incipientes. Nesta pesquisa foi realizada uma revisão estruturada da literatura que mapeou iniciativas verdes realizadas apenas por empresas Prestadoras de Serviços Logísticos (PSLs) e classificadas como internas e externas à organização em forma de um framework. Nesse contexto e de acordo com o estado-da-arte do campo de pesquisa apontado, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi de identificar iniciativas de sustentabilidade ambiental praticadas por algumas empresas PSLs brasileiras, e analisar a abrangência da realização das iniciativas. O método de pesquisa escolhido foi um estudo exploratório, com questionário semiestruturado, e coleta de dados do tipo survey. Com apoio do software NVivo10 foi possível entender as empresas estudadas, uma vez que facilitou as análises permitindo planejar e classificar informações oriundas de outras três questões abertas compostas no questionário, e pesquisar padrões nas respostas dos respondentes. Os resultados das análises indicam que as empresas respondentes têm realizado diversas ações a favor da sustentabilidade ambiental, entretanto algumas delas de forma pouco abrangente. A maior parte das iniciativas realizadas no contexto analisado são intraorganizacionais, quando comparada as interorganizacionais. / The pursuance for sustainability has been a topic debated among managers and academics around the world. Economic activities generate environmental impacts resulting from its operations, and also the logistics industry. This topic has attracted considerable attention from the international scientific community, however, studies on that issue in Brazil are incipient. The structured literature review mapped out green initiatives undertaken only by Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), and classified in the form of a framework as internal and external to the organization. In this context and according to the state-of-the-art of the research field pointed out, the aim of this research was to identify environmental sustainability initiatives practiced by some Brazilian LSP companies, and analyze the scope of the initiatives. The chosen research method was an exploratory study, with semi-structured questionnaire, and survey data collection. With the support of the NVivo10 software, it was possible to understand the companies studied, since it facilitated the analysis allowing to plan and classify information from three other open questions composed in the questionnaire, as well to search for patterns in respondents' answers. The results indicate that the surveyed companies have carried out several actions in favor of environmental sustainability, however some of them not with all potential. And most of the carried out initiatives are intraorganizational, when compared to the interorganizational ones. / CNPq: 134565/2015-0

El objetivo de la presente investigación es demostrar la relación entre logística verde y las exportaciones de cobre en las minas de la Macro Región Norte y Sur del Perú en el periodo 2015 al 2019. Cabe destacar que las empresas mineras exportadoras se encuentran ubicadas con mayor representación en la Región Norte y Sur del Perú. Así mismo, el cobre es el principal metal exportador, debido a que nuestro país logró conseguir presencia minera a nivel internacional, por la riqueza geológica que posee. Por tanto, es esencial identificar la relación entre las dos variables, para determinar si es recomendable la implementación de la logística verde en los procesos de las empresas mineras y si existe una influencia en las exportaciones. Para analizar la relación entre la logística verde y las exportaciones de cobre, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, utilizando el cuestionario en escala de Likert dirigido a 32 personas pertenecientes a las áreas de comercio exterior, logística, operaciones, de las empresas mineras, las cuales representan el 80% del total de exportaciones en el periodo 2015 al 2019. Para realizar el análisis estadístico, se empleó el programa SPSS, con el fin de contrastar las hipótesis planteadas. De esta manera, se concluyó que la logística verde no se relaciona con las exportaciones de cobre durante el periodo analizado, siendo las dimensiones estudiadas; actividades logísticas, requerimientos ambientales y responsabilidad para definir la influencia de esta alternativa sostenible en las exportaciones. / The objective of this research is to demonstrate the relationship between green logistics and copper exports in the mines of the North and South Macro Region of Peru in the period 2015 to 2019. It should be noted that the exporting mining companies are located with greater representation in the North and South Region of Peru. Likewise, copper is the main export metal, because our country managed to achieve a mining presence at an international level, due to the geological wealth it has. Therefore, it is essential to identify the relationship between the two variables, to determine if the implementation of green logistics in the processes of mining companies is recommended and if there is an influence on exports. To analyze the relationship between green logistics and copper exports, a quantitative research was carried out, using the Likert scale questionnaire addressed to 32 people belonging to the areas of foreign trade, logistics, operations, of mining companies, which represent 80% of total exports in the period 2015 to 2019. To perform the statistical analysis, the SPSS program was used, in order to contrast the hypotheses raised. In this way, it was concluded that green logistics is not related to copper exports during the analyzed period, the dimensions being studied; logistics activities, environmental requirements and responsibility to define the influence of this sustainable alternative on exports. / Tesis

Until recently, the concept of green logistics has been disregarded by various logistics and transport companies in South Africa. The study on which this dissertation is based explored the green logistics practices that these companies are currently implementing in terms of the key drivers, benefits and barriers. A quantitative research approach was followed, were a survey (Lime) served as the primary research instrument. A census was conducted among 160 companies in Gauteng. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between SMEs (<200) and large (200 and above) companies with regard to their importance rating on green logistics practices. To achieve the primary objective of the study, a framework in green logistics was drafted for SMEs and large companies in South Africa, which outlined practices and opportunities companies can implement in their own businesses to benefit from ‘going green’. The usefulness of the latter mentioned guidelines needs to be tested in future research. / Public Administration and Management / M.. Com. (Logistics Management)

O método usado foi um estudo de caso único, sobre a sustentabilidade no transporte por cabotagem, focando seus impactos na emissão de CO2 na cadeia logística das operações da empresa no Brasil. Devido às dimensões continentais de nosso país, a cadeia logística é um grande desafio para atender às demandas de clientes com rapidez mantendo a sua competitividade e segurança. Dentro deste contexto a partir de 2015 a empresa intensificou o uso do transporte marítimo de cabotagem visando a redução de custos com seguros e evitar problemas com roubo de cargas. Porém uma externalidade positiva passou despercebida, que é a redução nas emissões de CO2 devido ao uso deste modal. Uma das metas em Sustentabilidade da empresa é minimizar o seu impacto climático, impedindo a liberação de 25 milhões de toneladas de dióxido de carbono e seus equivalentes (CO2e) ao longo de 15 anos, entre 2005 e 2020, e um dos caminhos é promover o uso de modais de transporte mais eficientes. Na revisão da literatura evidenciou-se que as emissões de CO2 por transporte rodoviário podem ser até 10 vezes maiores que o transporte marítimo para um mesmo volume de produto transportado (SCHMIED e KNÖRR, 2012). Portanto, esta pesquisa foi realizada através da análise exploratória sobre os dados dos embarques realizados pela empresa no período de janeiro/2015 a agosto/2018 e cálculo do impacto das emissões de CO2 dos respectivos embarques, adotandose o método proposto na norma CEN - EN 16258 – “Metodologia para o cálculo e declaração do consumo de energia e das emissões de gases com efeito de estufa dos serviços de transporte”. Esse trabalho visa contribuir para o estudo sobre sustentabilidade em cadeias logísticas e trazer maior clareza aos gestores sobre os impactos positivos à competitividade e ao meio ambiente ao adotar transportes alternativos ao tradicional rodoviário. / This work analyzes and propagates the sustainability of cabotage transport in the logistics operation of a home appliances manufacturing company. The research method was a case study, unique and holistic, about cabotage transport and its impacts on CO2 emissions in the logistics chain of the company's operations in Brazil. The continental dimensions of this country lead to a significant challenge in the logistics chain to meet the demands of customers, while quickly maintaining its competitiveness and safety. In this context, starting in 2015, the company intensified the use of cabotage shipping in order to reduce insurance costs and avoid problems with cargo theft. Nevertheless, a positive externality went unnoticed: the reduction in CO2 emissions due to the use of this modal. One of the company's sustainability goals is to minimize its climate impact by preventing the release of 25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and its equivalents (CO2e) over 15 years between 2005 and 2020, and one way is to promote the use of more efficient transport modes. In the review of the literature, it has shown that CO2 emissions by road transport can be up to 10 times greater than maritime transport for the same volume of transported product (SCHMIED and KNÖRR, 2012). Therefore, this research was carried out through the exploratory analysis on the data of shipments made by the company from January/2015 to August/2018 and calculation of the impact on CO2 emissions of the respective shipments, adopting the method proposed in CEN- EN 16258 - "Methodology for calculating and reporting energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from transport services". This paper aims to contribute to the study on sustainability in logistics chains and to bring greater clarity to managers about the positive impacts in competitiveness and environment when adopting an alternative mode of transport to the traditional road transport.

The gravity of the Global Warming consequences force us to face the issue and try the best to mitigate its effects. Green Logistics practices, and especially the case of a Solar Panels Installation on a warehouse or plant’s roof, are studied in this article as solutions to reduce the economic, social and environmental casualties. The Net Present Value (NPV) Model in this paper and its results analysis show that project duration, Carbon Tax, initial energy price and its increasing rate are all positively related to the NPV Value. A high discount rate will, however, turn the NPV negative, thus raising the need of financing help for Green Logistics projects.
