Green Logistics’ Tools as Corporate Environmental Management Information System (CEMIS)

Abstract

Global warming, climatic disasters and the depletion of the ozone layer illustrate the negative impact of economic growth on the ecological system and the societies that function within them. As a result, customers and many governments around the world are developing a more conscious and respectful attitude toward the environment, propelling environmental concerns to the forefront of many companies’ competitive strategies. The implementation of green practices into logistics systems is gaining worldwide importance. Corporate Environmental Management Information System (CEMIS) is the solution for companies to comply with environmental regulation by providing the necessary information to monitor and analyze environmental effects of business activities. In this paper, general information about CEMIS will be invoked accompanied by a focus on green logistics tools. The architecture and interface of each tool will be demonstrated.
