in Wikipedia definition of "Green" Transportation / Logistics Green / environmentally sustainable logistics Updated: 01/26/2011 The
Definition is from my dissertation. Please send me an email if you need the citation.
Ecologically Sustainable Logistics ("Green Logistics) is the collaborative and holistic transformation and expansion of logistics visions, strategies, network structures, processes and systems for companies and business networks to secure the / r resource replenishment / regeneration of the supply chain and to create environmentally sound and resource-efficient logistics activities.
The goal of sustainable logistics system ("green logistics) monitored, the integration of economic and ecological efficiency and effectiveness, Creating a sustainable shareholder value, which acts on the spatial (corporate limits) and temporal boundaries (eg term of the CEOs) and into a positive form back to the company and has reflected. This is the first Nachhaltigkeitspinzip the effectiveness goal, particularly with safeguarding and preservation of the substance / r resource replenishment / regeneration fully investigated. Efficiency targets (such as resource efficiency), however only a sufficient condition for environmentally sustainable logistics.
This target integration regelnäßig pushes the limits and often ends in dilemmas. The logistics management needs therefore increasingly bypass the competence with contradictions and faces the task of decision rationality reconsidered.
The target system of environmentally sustainable logistics must, therefore, the classical, primary economic objective system of logistics on the one hand to the environment and expand resource costs-including opportunity costs *-, other independent new targets to assess the substance of resource conservation and regeneration introduce. It requires goal relationships and performance targets for the medium and long-term observation horizon evaluated.
* such as loss of profit by customer cash ready for (new) environmentally sustainable products and services

The definition is based on the investigations of numerous practical projects and case study research on "Green Logistics". Below I introduce more definitions primarily from the Anglo-American world on the basis of scientific text. The list is further supplemented by me., Especially in the context of my dissertation I am looking forward to feedback between theory and practice, and am open for interesting discussions related to this preliminary Definition.Ich'll keep you informed.

“Green Supply Chain Management implies the insertition of environmental criteria within the decision-making context of the traditional supply chain management. […] Green Supply Chain Management will therefore fully integrate environmental considerations into tradtitional supply chain management. This covers all aspects of supply chain management including product design, procurement, sourcing and supplier selection, manufacturing and production processes, logistics and the delivery of the final product to the consumers, along with the end-of-life management of the product. Therefore the total or the end-to-end supply chain can be covered. Green supply chain management therefore address four interrelated areas of the supply chains: upstream, downstream, within the organization, and the connecting logistics process.” (Emmett, Sood 2010)
“Green Supply Chain Management can be defined as a buying organization’s plans and activities that integrate environmental issues into supply chain management in order to improve the environmental performance of suppliers and customers.” (Lee, Klassen 2008, S. 575)
“Das Holistic-Environmental-SCM ist das zielgerichtete environmentally-based management of Holistic Environmental Supply Chain (H & SC). It plans, manages and controls the economic flows in the HE-SC, at the same time taking into account and integrated pursuit of economic goals and objectives of the site-spatial transformations and product-related environmental protection. The addition of 'wholeness / Holistic' is to bring [...] explicitly stated that all environmental related fields relevance of the supply chain due attention. Because of the cyclical structure of the HE-HE-SC, the SCM will Kreislaufmanagement'bezeichnet as' interorganizational. "(Summer 2007, p. 118)
" Green supply chain management is defined as integrating environmental thinking into supply-chain management, including product design, material sourcing and selection, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product to the consumers as well as end-of-life management of the product after its useful life” (Srivastava 2007, S. 54) f.
“Green Supply Chain Management = Green Purchasing + Green Manufacturing/ Materials Management + Green Distribution/Marketing + Reverse Logistics” (Hervani et al. 2005, S. 334)
“A sustainable supply chain is defined as one that is profitable and resource effective and that “meets the needs of the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (WCED 1987).” (Facanha, Horvath 2005, S. 27)
“We define environmental supply management practice in a product chain as attempts to address environmental problems in a product chain and to convert the understanding of problems and their management into changed practices in the individual companies in the product chain and/or the product chain as a whole.” (Forman, Jørgensen 2004, S. 45)
“A synthesis of this literature, together with research on supplier development points to at least two generally accepted characteristics that capture supply chain activities related to environmental management: joint collaborative activities between a plant and its suppliers and/or its customers directed at achieving sustained improvements in environmental performance and upstream evaluative activities taking the form of information gathering by manufacturers to assess and to monitor environmental management and performance of their suppliers.” (Klassen, Vachon 2003, S. 339)
