The Green Logistics Partnership Conference is a meeting body established in April 2005 through joint efforts between METI, MLIT, and related industrial organizations to expand collaborative efforts between consignors and logistics business operators for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the logistics sector in Japan. The conference has been making efforts to raise public awareness of green logistics based on partnerships between consignors and logistics business operators, recognize excellent case examples, and promote publicity.
2. Excellent Green Logistics Commendation Program
Under the program, businesses that have achieved remarkable contributions to the establishment of sustainable logistics systems by reducing environmental burden or improving productivity in terms of distribution have been recognized as winners every fiscal year for METI Minister’s Awards and Awards of the METI Director-General for Commerce and Service Industry Policy.
