摘要: We investigate the incentives for subcontractors (couriers) of a transport and logistics company to report about their CO2 emissions implement reducing technologies. Furthermore, we try find out whether these differ between British Dutch couriers. that several play significant role. Subcontractors in Netherlands predominantly are extrinsically motivated engage reporting reduction techniques. This is because they mainly driven by regulatory compliance, energy costs implementation costs. In contrast, much more intrinsically comply. They costs, environmental awareness, relationship building reputation building. The contractor will have account differences making its policies work. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
