Introduction
As an important carrier of service production and life, logistics integrates a number of rapidly developing
fields such as transportation freight, construction warehousing and information services, and has
become an important pillar of the global economy. However, logistics activities are also accompanied by
significant energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, exhaust pollution, and the use and disposal of
packaging plastics, which have a significant impact on the environment. In the context of global sustainable
development and combating climate change, governments and market players have put forward carbon
peak and carbon neutral targets to promote the green development of enterprises and their upstream and
downstream supply chains.
This document focuses on the green transformation of generalized logistics and provides application cases
in green logistics, including transport, storage and other scenarios. These cases show guided by principles
of resource intensive utilization, low-carbon emissions, resource recycling, environmental protection and
occupational health.
The goal of this document is to help organizations better understand green logistics activities, thereby
driving the overall logistics industry towards sustainable development and contributing to the broader
environmental protection and social responsibility goals.

3.1
green logistics
advanced technologies and management methods employed by organizations to effectively plan and
implement processes, such as transportation, storage, loading and unloading, handling, packaging,
distribution processing, distribution, and information management, guided by principles of resource
intensive utilization, low-carbon emissions, resource recycling, environmental protection and occupational
health, which aims to achieve a balance between economic development, social benefits, and environmental
protection
Note 1 to entry: The principle of resource intensive utilization advocates that in logistics activities, resources should
be utilized efficiently and rationally through measures such as integration and reduction.
Note 2 to entry: The principle of low-carbon emissions advocates reducing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions
through cost-effective measures such as carbon reduction at the source, during the process, and carbon sequestration
at the terminal. These efforts are based on comprehensive monitoring of energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions under various circumstances to ensure that economically feasible methods are adopted to reduce emissions.
Note 3 to entry: The principle of resource recycling advocates the return and reuse of raw materials, semi-finished
products, finished products, waste and other resources from the usage stage through the design and use of recyclable
logistics container equipment, as well as the optimization of logistics operation processes, so as to restore their value
or dispose of them reasonably.
Note 4 to entry: The principle of environmental protection advocates efforts to reduce solid, liquid, gas and noise
pollution, thereby minimizing the environmental impact of logistics activities.
Note 5 to entry: The occupational health principle advocates safeguarding the physical and mental health of workers
participating in green logistics activities. It involves minimizing harmful factors, preventing occupational diseases
and workplace accidents, and improving the working environment and practices through intelligent and green
technologies, with the goal of achieving sustainable occupational health management.

5 Green logistics practice in different business scenarios
5.1 Transportation
5.1.1 Resource intensive utilization
5.1.1.1 Cases
Case 1: Cargo stowage optimization
Enterprise 1 employs an effective cargo stowage strategy. This approach takes into account the volume and
weight of goods being transported. The principle is to arrange goods in a logical order within the carriage
where heavy and compact items are placed at the bottom while lighter and larger items are positioned on
top. By implementing this efficient cargo stowage method, Enterprise 1 can optimize each truck's load,
reduce empty space, and ultimately enhance transportation efficiency.
Case 2: Consolidated transportation services
Enterprise 2 offers less-than-container load (LCL) shipping solutions, consolidating small shipments from
multiple clients into a single container to optimize transportation costs. This LCL service not only reduces
maritime shipping expenses but also enhances safety, reliability and delivery efficiency.

ISO/DTR 25326:2025(en)
Case 3: 'One container service' intermodal transport
Enterprise 3 has launched the 'One Container Service' intermodal transport, a streamlined logistics model
where goods are packed into a container and transported using two or more integrated transportation
modes. Throughout the journey, the container remains sealed, and the goods are not handled or reloaded
during transitions between transportation modes, ensuring a seamless door-to-door delivery experience.
This intermodal approach significantly reduces transit time, minimizes energy consumption, and enhances
overall logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction. In addition, the technology for transporting rolled
steel plates cargo with platform-based containers does not need grass products as support, which solves
the environmental problems caused by the original straw as the support body of coil steel. The technology
for transporting rolled steel plates cargo with platform-based containers can be adopted as 'One Container
Service' intermodal transport, which can realize energy saving and low-carbon.
Case 4: Optimization of transportation dispatch
Enterprise 2 has deployed an advanced transportation management system utilizing a big data analytics-
driven platform for dispatch operations. This system employs intelligent algorithms to optimize routing,
allocate resources efficiently, and enhance overall transportation performance. Key functionalities include
real-time tracking of cargo location, monitoring of traffic conditions, and assessment of vessel/aircraft
status, as well as the dynamic adjustment of transportation schedules and routes in response to operational
demands. By leveraging this platform, Enterprise 2 ensures compliance with indu

packaging, distribution processing, distribution, and information management,guided by principles of
resource intensive utilization, low-carbon emissions, resource recycling, environmental protection and
occupational health, which aims to achieve a balance between economic development, social benefits, and
environmental protection.
This document focuses on the green transformation of generalized logistics and provides application cases in
green logistics, including transport, storage and other scenarios. These cases show guided by principles of
resource intensive utilization, low-carbon emissions, resource recycling, environmental protection and
occupational health.
The goal of this document is to help organizations better understand green logistics activities, thereby driving
the overall logistics industry towards sustainable development and contributing to the broader environmental
protection and social responsibility goals.

5 5 Green logistics practice in different business scenarios
5.1 5.1 Transportation
5.1.1 5.1.1 Resource intensive utilization
5.1.1.1 5.1.1.1 Cases
Case 1: Cargo stowage optimization
Enterprise 1 employs an effective cargo stowage strategy. This approach takes into account the volume and
weight of goods being transported. The principle is to arrange goods in a logical order within the carriage
where heavy and compact items are placed at the bottom while lighter and larger items are positioned on top.
By implementing this efficient cargo stowage method, Enterprise 1 can optimize each truck's load, reduce
empty space, and ultimately enhance transportation efficiency.
Case 2: Consolidated transportation services
Enterprise 2 offers less-than-container load (LCL) shipping solutions, consolidating small shipments from
multiple clients into a single container to optimize transportation costs. This LCL service not only reduces
maritime shipping expenses but also enhances safety, reliability, and delivery efficiency.
Case 3: 'One container service' intermodal transport
Enterprise 3 has launched the 'One Container Service' intermodal transport, a streamlined logistics model
where goods are packed into a container and transported using two or more integrated transportation modes.
Throughout the journey, the container remains sealed, and the goods are not handled or reloaded during
transitions between transportation modes, ensuring a seamless door-to-door delivery experience. This
intermodal approach significantly reduces transit time, minimizes energy consumption, and enhances overall
logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction. In addition, the technology for transporting rolled steel plates
cargo with platform-based containers does not need grass products as support, which solves the
environmental problems caused by the original straw as the support body of coil steel. The technology for
transporting rolled steel plates cargo with platform-based containers can be adopted as 'One Container
Service' intermodal transport, which can realize energy saving and low-carbon.
Case 4: Optimization of transportation dispatch
Enterprise 2 has deployed an advanced transportation management system utilizing a big data analytics-
driven platform for dispatch operations. This system employs intelligent algorithms to optimize routing,
ISO/DTR 25326:(en)
allocate resources efficiently, and enhance overall transportation performance. Key functionalities include
real-time tracking of cargo location, monitoring of traffic conditions, and assessment of vessel/aircraft status,
as well as the dynamic adjustment of transportation schedules and routes in response to operational demands.
By leveraging this platform, Enterprise 2 ensures compliance with industry standards, delivering expedited,
reliable, and environmentally compliant logistics services.

5.1.2 5.1.2 Low-carbon emission
5.1.2.1 5.1.2.1 Cases
Case 5: Using clean energy equipment
Enterprise 4 first began to adopt LNG trucks, pure electric heavy trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell heavy trucks
as low-carbon emission alternatives to conventional fuel vehicles;. Secondly, Enterprise 4 has expanded the
reach of green logistics through incentives to encourage its logistics suppliers to also use new energy trucks.
Enterprise 4 aims to promote 100 per cent renewable electricity in its global operating markets and reduce
carbon dioxide emissions by 25 per cent by 2025.
Enterprise 5 launches its first fleet of electric trucks to gradually replace conventional fuel trucks and reduce
carbon emissions. They are workingwork with electric vehicle manufacturers and chargingcharge
infrastructure providers to ensure the efficient operation of electric trucks, and have planned a network of
charging stations to support long-distance transportation. The initiative has significantly reduced carbon
emissions during transportation and driven a sustainable transformation of the kingdom's logistics industry.
Case 6: Adoption of low-carbon emission transport technologies
Enterprise 6 Optimizes the overall operation management and charging infrastructure of electric trucks based
on microgrid and energy management technologies. Using these technologies, Enterprise 6 is able to allocate
energy more intelligently, rationally plan charging times and locations, and reduce unnecessary energy
consumption. These measures improve the operational efficiency of electric trucks, making Enterprise 6 the
primary carrier to achieve 1 million zero-emission miles.
Case 7: Using diverse energy sources for power
Enterprise 2 Adopt diversified energy sources as power by trying to use hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)
fuel. By using a blend of 15 % HVO and 85 % MGO, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 13.,5 %. Enterprise
2 aims to have at least 25 % of its seaborne cargo transported on green fuels by 2030.
Case 8: Establishing a monitoring system for greenhouse gas emissions from transport links
Enterprise 7 has developed a Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission visualization tool based on ISO 14083:2023,
which is designed to enable corporate customers to more realistically calculate the GHG emissions generated
by Enterprise 7 during transportation that fall within Scope 3. The visualization tool focuses on GHG emissions
generated during transportation by road, rail, air, sea, water, etc., as well as indirect GHG emissions generated
by enterprises in the supply chain.
