SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to focus on the concepts of sustainability and green logistics within the framework of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and to provide knowledge and skills aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of logistics activities, as well as to raise awareness and sectoral consciousness regarding sustainable logistics practices.
Course Content: Within the scope of this course; the concept of sustainability and its environmental, economic, and social dimensions, the definition and scope of green logistics, and the factors and key components affecting green logistics practices will be examined. In addition, green purchasing, green production, green packaging, green marketing and green distribution processes, reverse logistics practices, green logistics performance indicators, and green supplier selection will be covered. The course also examines logistics solutions aimed at reducing environmental impacts, along with current green logistics practices in Türkiye and around the world, through examples.

Course Specific Rules

Students are expected to benefit from the recommended resources before the course, review the course-related materials available on the Online Beykoz System as well as the presentations shared during the course, and prepare the related practical exercises accordingly.
