"If you are looking for a book to inspire you and at the same time have the latest information on Sustainable logistics and SCM, this is the book to read. The authors have managed to capture the essence of logistics and SCM and at the same time add the new perspectives needed to understand how to deal and cope with the challenges posed on businesses in times of crisis. I certainly hope that this book will reach an even broader audience as sustainability and topics addressed here are even more important in the future."

"This is a great book offering a wide range of topic from transport and logistics to supply chain strategy. Even more important, sustainability is not discussed as an add on, but is central to the presentation of all topics, giving the book a clear competitive advantage."
