Tiivistelmä
This thesis aims to evaluate the environmental impacts of outbound transportation in the case company. The evaluation focuses on transporting Bentonite within Ho Chi Minh City. Bentonite is the most important product of the company.
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the theories behind the environmental impacts of road transportation, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emission calculations and outbound transportation systems so as to identify problems in the company. Information was sought through interviews with the company’s representative and its outsourced Third Party Logistics’s representatives. In addition, concepts around GHG emissions are also investigated.
This thesis project took place between January 2013 and October 2013, with the empirical research conducted from April 2013 to May 2013. The research has found remarkable problems in the case company when it comes to environmental management in road transportation.
The thesis concluded with a recommendation on linear programming related to transportation problems and CO2 calculation methods. Another recommendation is a GHG protocol, which is about emission calculating, analysing and reporting. Moreover, in order to reduce CO2 emissions, it is highlighted that the company should integrate its GHG protocol and CO2 emission calculation.
