Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Warehouses in Modern Supply Chains: Comprehensive Literature Review
Abstract
Scarcity of resources and climate change have generated mounting demand for sustainability in every field and industry, including supply chains and logistics. Warehouses, being one of the most vital links in supply chains, require additional innovative efforts to render them more agile. This chapter addresses the topic of green and energy-efficient warehouses as key factors in the transition to more sustainable supply chains. We begin with an overview of traditional warehouses that are beset by a number of environmental problems. This serves to bring us to the demand for the creation of green warehouses. The paper also covers the main management practices to enable these transformations. In order to provide the reader with a clearer picture, we provide examples of pioneer companies in the sector. The paper further highlights that the future of green warehouses is heading in the direction of greater digitization. We conclude that the adoption of green warehouses is no longer an optional decision but a strategic imperative to ensure continuity and leadership in a market.
