Awareness of clean energy use in internationaltrade and logistics companies

This study examines the evolution of the awareness of the sectors that play an active role in the field of international trade and logistics, regarding the use of clean energy, from history to the 21st century, the applications used today and the dynamics shaped by political obligations, specifically in Turkey. Starting from the first purposes of using clean energy in history, the attitudes of companies in this field, the advantages and obstacles they face today are examined. In the study, it is observed that due to the increasing environmental impacts of fossil fuels and their exhaustibility, the trend towards renewable resources is gaining momentum and they are preferred as alternative energy solutions in logistics and international trade activities. It is seen that clean energy was first used together with sustainable energy sources such as water, wind and solar energy after the industrial revolution. The necessary details regarding the operation of sustainable resources are explained in the study. It is emphasized in this study that the reason for the transition to clean energy is not only the depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution it causes, but also the political obligations brought by international agreements such as the Montenegro Agreement and the EU Green Deal direct companies to green transformation. The minimum training that logistics companies should provide to their employees regarding the use and awareness of clean energy is researched and mentioned.
