Sustainable Logistics & Green Operations Strategy for JIT Logistics

Project Objective and Goals This project will help JIT Logistics explore eco-friendly practices in logistics and delivery. The main objective is to design a sustainability roadmap that balances operational efficiency with environmental responsibility. Students will research fuel alternatives, green partnerships, and packaging solutions while building a business case for sustainable logistics practices that attract eco-conscious clients. The outcome will be a Green Operations Playbook that JIT can use as a guide for scaling responsibly and differentiating itself in the Ontario logistics market. Tasks Students Will Complete Sustainability Audit Assess JIT’s current carbon footprint (fuel usage, vehicle types, packaging waste). Benchmark JIT against industry best practices in sustainable logistics. Alternative Fleet Research Research affordable green vehicle options (electric vans, hybrid trucks, e-bikes for local delivery). Evaluate charging/fueling infrastructure and total cost of ownership. Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions Identify sustainable packaging suppliers (biodegradable, reusable). Compare costs, durability, and customer perception. Partnership Opportunities Explore partnerships with green-certified suppliers, warehouses, and recycling companies. Research government incentives or grants for sustainable fleet upgrades. Customer Engagement & Branding Develop messaging that positions JIT as a sustainability-focused logistics provider.
