The Impact of Sustainable Logistics Policies on Road Transportation in the United Kingdom

Abstract

Around the world, mass production was transformed by the industrial revolution. Therefore, a rise in the number of factories that provide income for individuals and, consequently, are used at almost every stage of life, as well as producing all kinds of materials, has been witnessed. Naturally, this trend brought many processes with it. Positively, the increase in factories, production, employment, economic development, growth, and development showed the concepts. To leave a livable world for future generations, the concept of sustainability has come to the fore as a result of these processes. As logistics operations increase carbon emissions, ecological damage is exacerbated. By implementing green logistics practices into the operational processes of the companies, ecological destruction will be reduced, and logistics performance will be improved, giving the companies a competitive advantage. This study consists of 3 parts. In the first part, there is an introductory section in which preliminary information is given by defining the general lines of the research. As a result of literature reviews, it has also been attempted to provide information about sustainability strategy, green logistics, and logistics performance in the United Kingdom. The second part explains the research methodology. An evaluation of the results of the analyses is presented in the third chapter. Following the evaluation of the results, the literature review and bibliography are presented.
