“…The lack of engagement by top management in environmentally related issues (Preuss, 2009;Lyons, 2004;Himanen et al, 2004) is one part of this but the challenge goes even further than that. Even if decisions are taken these must be turned into action by the great mass of people working in organisations.…”

“…Focus of policies for green/sustainable transport are mainly on urban (Bratzel, 1999; Pucher et al , 2007; Banister, 2000), local (Haywood, 2002), national (Schade and Schade, 2005; Pucher et al , 2007), or continental (Rodenburg et al , 2002; Banister, 2000). Himanen et al (2004), as well as Wittneben et al (2009) discuss the characteristics of environmental policies and conclude that they must be integrated and adaptive.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this article is to explore themes and challenges in making supply chains environmentally sustainable. Design/methodology/approach -The study began with a systematic review, and content analysis of articles in top-ranking related journals from logistics, transport, sustainability and environmental areas, and ended with research propositions contributing to the further advancement of supply chain management. Findings -The findings illustrate the major themes published in 18 journals concentrating on sustainable supply chains with special focus on environmental issues. From the systematic review five major areas of challenges for supply chain management are derived: costs, complexity, operationalisation, mindset and cultural changes, and uncertainties. From all of these areas synthesising discussions are provided and research propositions suggested. It is concluded that there is a great need for models and frameworks that consider the complexity involved, take holistic perspectives, and challenge the basic assumptions underlying most of the research published (i.e. reductionism, positivism and economic growth).Research limitations/implications -Sustainability in this article is mainly related to environmental issues. Analysis of complex interactions between environmental, social and economic aspects might provide opportunities for future research. Practical implications -The results presented in this paper provide a systematic structure for classifying issues related to logistics sustainability; something which will be beneficial for managers and policy-makers when they approach sustainable supply chain management challenges. Originality/value -This paper provides propositions for research based on the emergent outcome of challenges that can guide research, industry and policy-makers in future sustainability efforts.The research project "Governing transitions towards low-carbon energy and transport systems for 2050" (see www.lets2050.se), financed by Naturvårdsverket, Energimyndigheten, Trafikverket och Vinnova in Sw...

“…Himanen et al (2005), consider sustainable transport, at best, as a concept which is still under construction, with only some elements that are already fairly clear. In particular, when it is attempted to frame energy efficiency policy for transport in market terms, the theoretical and empirical complications are manifold and differ from the other segments identified in the list above.…”

“…In 1998, it was followed by Canada and Australia, both at 63 per cent of the VKT per capita in the USA. Canada and Australia were followed by European Union countries at 52 per cent of the US level, and then by Japan at 30 per cent of the US level (Fulton 2004, cited in Himanen et al 2004; Newman 2000). Transport in Europe remains more multi‐modal than in the USA; for example, the levels of walking and cycling are about five times higher (Pucher and Dijkstra 2003).…”
