Responsibility of enterprises for sustainable stewardship in transportation Sourcing raw materials Componenets or sub-assemblies Production line Wholesaler Retailers Customer Transport processes are essential parts of the supply chain and perform flow of materials that connects an enterprise with its suppliers and with its customers. Supply Chain Management (SCM) concept • Includes coordination and collaboration with chain partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers, and customers. • Integrates supply and demand management within and across companies. • Planning and management of all sourcing and procurement, conversion activities as well all logistics management activities. Logistic process/management (According to: Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (2007). Online: http://www.cscmp.org/Website/AboutCSCMP/Definitions/Definitions.asp.

Relevance of logistic processes -Transport growth EU (25) (Notes: (1) - passenger cars, powered two-wheelers, buses & coaches, tram & metro, railways, air, sea; (2) - road, sea, rail, inland waterways, pipelines, air; GDP- at constant 1995 prices and exchange rate) (According to European Commission (2006a). Online: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/figures/pocketbook/2006_en.htm. Date of access: May 24th, 2007.) Environmental Management
Economic risk Lack of acceptance in the own enterprise Difficulties to integrate the environmental aspects into the planning processes Lack of consumer acceptance Quality and price disadvantages in of environmentally friendly vehicles Difficulties to consider environmental aspects parallel with other criteria Hurdles in transport process optimization Question: What hurdles do you see for an environmentally oriented design and controlling of your transport processes? (Survey within the project ETIENNE - Efficient Transports Chains in Disposal Networks - Unitized and Ecologically Designed, for further information see: http://www.tu-dresden.de/wwbwlbu/forschung/abgeschlossene_projekte/etienne/en/frame.htm ) Environmental Management

Relevance of logistic processes - Energy consumption by sector and CO2 emissions by sector (Notes: Mtoe - 1000 000 Tonne of oil equivalent; (1) Includes "own use" by power and heat generation sector) (According to European Commission (2006). Online: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/figures/pocketbook/2006_en.htm. Date of access: May 24th, 2007. ) Environmental Management
Energy consumption Material emissions (e.g.oil, waste water) Loading grade of vehicle Noise Direct emissions into air Environmentally friendly power sytems Environmental risk /transport safety No environmental evaluation Hurdles in transport process optimization Question: Which criteria do you use to assess environmental impacts of your transport processes? Environmental Management
Depending on higher acceptance of their environmental management by customers, suppliers etc. Depending on an increased political acceptance of environmental management in terms of tax reduction or subsidies etc. Depending on the specific economic development of the enterprise Depending on the possibility to enlarge the own indirect competitive advantage Hurdles in transport process optimization Question: On which factors does depend your further environmental commitment?
