Sharing resources for greener logistics

Freight transportation, a significant contributor to the environmental impact of logistics, is projected to grow, thereby increasing its environmental footprint. With many actors contributing to the greening of logistics, their roles, and responsibilities for the greening of logistics differs. One mean for progressing the greening of logistics, is to share resources between actors needed for implementing different green logistics practices. Resource sharing among these actors will be a key strategy for advancing the greening of logistics. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding how resources can be shared between actors to facilitate the implementation of green logistics practices. It focuses on the different green logistics practices that can be implemented to green logistics through a resource perspective, where resources and actors that controls resources and implements green logistics practices are the subject of analysis. Through the application of resource dependency theory, this thesis sets out to understand why actors need to share resources with other actors, and how they can manage their dependency onto resources controlled by other actors.
