Abstract

The previous chapters dealt in detail with customer-induced innovation for sustainable logistics and, conversely, with the potential impact of sustainable logistics on the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. This chapter leaves this level of detail and draws the bigger picture. It answers the following questions: What can politics, administration, and intermediaries concretely do to support sustainable logistics and lifestyles? How can the logistics industry itself support sustainability, and what kind of cooperation can it already engage in today? How can it also become active itself? And finally: What are the potential quick wins?
