摘要

A combination of simple operational strategies and new technologies have companies seeing 'green.' When Walmart Canada opens its first sustainable refrigerated distribution center this fall, it will boast LED lighting, solar panels, wind turbines, and high-efficiency doorways between temperature zones, as well as increased insulation and many other features to increase its efficiency and sustainability. Walmart is at the vanguard of a green trend that, pushed by governments and pulled by customers, is becoming the new face of logistics.
