ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the logistics business volume, energy consumption and current development status of China's logistics industry, and finds out that China's logistics industry has high energy consumption, at the same time, lots of companies have not implemented carbon emission measurement, lacking of green innovative technology equipment, and weak in national environmental awareness. By studying the development status of green logistics in Germany and their existing standards, laws and regulations of Germany's logistics and transportation industry, the authors gets the conclusion that Germany's transportation industry with the largest carbon emissions has made targets in terms of vehicles, freight routes, warehousing, sorting, energy conservation, and strict planning. Finally, this paper proposes green logistics management recommendations including improving service, perfection of system, and building China's logistics park, in line with China's national conditions, hoping to promote the sustainable development of China's green logistics industry.
