The increased awareness of the detrimental impacts of global climate change has contributed to developing stringent protocols to ensure environmental sustainability across many industries. Adoption of green logistics into core business operations has become mandatory in many parts of the world. Through strategic integration of such practice, industries are able to reduce carbon emissions, enhance resource efficiency, minimize waste production and environmental pollution. This thesis explores the economic feasibility of implementing green logistics practices within the context of Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd. located in Bangladesh.
Everest Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a leading pharmaceutical company located in Bangladesh. This company will serve as the case company of this study as it provides a suitable background for this research. To achieve the research aim, three separate research objectives are selected - the identification of current logistic practices of the case company, the development of a framework for establishing green logistics, and the identification of the associated economic benefits and challenges. This qualitative study will interview associated stakeholders, company executives, and environmental experts to formulate the framework in question and assess the economic feasibility. Inductive approach was chosen as this thesis formulated the research outcomes based on the collected data. Semi-structured, open-ended questionnaires will provide the framework for data collection. Purposive sampling will be chosen considering the time and budget allocation.
The findings of this study are expected to provide crucial insights for the commissioner company to develop and implement green logistics into its core business operation. This thesis will also provide theoretical information about the economic feasibility, associated challenges and benefits so that the management of the company can make an informed decision.
