Preface
With the increasing global awareness of the significance of environmental protec-
tion, Asia has witnessed a significant trend toward greening logistics and supply
chains. Asia is the largest and the most populous continent in the world, and in
recent years, it has enjoyed the fastest economic growth. Nevertheless, although
economic progresshas brought prosperity toAsian economies and societies, it has
created concomitant environmental problems. To date, the byproducts of this
booming economy include a notable contribution to the greenhouse effect, con-
siderable air and water pollution, the overuse of natural resources, and the pro-
duction of hazardous waste, resulting in substantial widespread environmental
degradation in Asia. Moreover, as the most significant production and consumer
base in terms of economic globalization, Asia plays a crucial role in global supply
chain management (SCM). Thus, the development of environmentally sustainable
supply chains is in high demand, to preserve the local and global environment.
Inspiredbythisobservation,thisbook,entitled“EnvironmentalSustainabilityin
Asian Logistics and Supply Chains”, addresses issues relating to logistics and
supplychains fromtheperspectiveofAsian environmentalsustainability.It brings
together selected presentations from the 12th International Congress on Logistics
and SCM Systems (ICLS2017) held in Beijing, China, August 20–23, 2017. The
congresswasorganisedbytheBusinessSchool,CentralUniversityofFinanceand
EconomicsandtheInternationalFederationofLogisticsandSCMSystems(IFLS).
It included submissions from researchers covering a variety of topics relating to
green and sustainable logistics and supply chains in the Asian context, such as
greenlogisticsandenvironmentalimpact,greenSCMandfirmperformance,green
operations and optimization, the sustainability of supply chains, carbon measure-
mentoflogistics,andcorporatesocialresponsibility.Toeffectivelydisseminatethe
most significant findings from this successful symposium and stimulate further
researchinthisfield,theauthorsofkeypresentationswereinvitedtocontributefull
chapters for inclusion in this book. The research contained within utilises both
empirical studies and math modeling research. It is anticipated that the book will
prove a valuable resource for both academics and practitioners wishing to deepen

their knowledge in the field of Asian logistics and supply chains in respect of
environmental sustainability.
The preparation and publication of this book would not have been possible

Abstract China’s logistics industry has developed rapidly in recent years. As the
level of logistical activity has grown so has the sector’s carbon footprint. The
measurement and control of these logistics-related CO emissions is of vital
2
importancetothenation’senergyandclimatechangestrategies.Thispaperreports
the results of an analysis of these emissions over the period 2000–2015 using two
decomposition techniques, i.e. Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and the
Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI). In absolute terms, the amount of CO
2
emissions from China’s logistics industry rose sharply and exhibited a cubic rela-
tionshipwithGDPratherthanthemoretypicalEKCcurve.Ontheotherhand,the
ratio of CO emissions to energy consumption for China’s logistics industry was
2
found to be declining. From the perspective of energy usage, two factors, energy
intensity and energy structure, are identified as being the main contributors to the
decreaseinCO emissionintensity,withenergyintensitydominating.Onthebasis
2
of these research results, the paper discusses ways of further reducing the CO
2
emission intensity of China’s logistics industry.
