Tatjana Tambovceva, Andrejs Tambovcevs

The activities which are mostly related to the environmental performance need to be pointed, especially how logistics systems influence on environmental performance. This paper analyses how company could lead the initiative in this area by incorporating environmental management principles into their daily activities. The analysis is based on literature review about logistics and environment, the information from company R website as well as face-to-face interviews. A case study is given to show how they can turn practices into green while simultaneously meet the efficiency objectives. The research results show that the adoption of EMS and ISO 14001 certification is an effective tool for the logistics management. Such practices simultaneously reduce the negative impacts of company’s activities on the natural environment and contribute to better company performance. The results also show that the emissions to air and water, and energy consumption are the main logistics impacts to the environment.
