Abstract
Environmental issues are becoming more important in business. However, applying past models such as the life-cycle model in businesses aiming to take an environmental approach is not always the most successful due to the models only taking a single actor perspective. The current article investigates the value of taking a multi-actor perspective in logistics to improve companies' green credentials. The study discusses various elements required to take a multi-actor approach, including the balance within the network and the interactions between the actors. The approach needs theoretical development to enable companies to move from a multi-actor eco-efficient approach to a sustainable approach. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
