The pursuit of sustainability will transform the logistics industry. This is one conclusion drawn by the study "Delivering Tomorrow: Towards Sustainable Logistics", released by Deutsche Post DHL.
Logistics involves the process of planning, implementing and controlling the most efficient and cost-effective flow and storage of goods, including raw materials, in-process stocks, finished goods and related information. Transportation is effected on behalf of the customer from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Essentially, it is the science and art of ensuring that the right products reach the right place in the right condition and the right quantity at the right time at the minimum possible cost.
