Doğru ürünün, doğru zaman ve yerde, doğru miktar ve koşullarda, doğru maliyetler ile doğru müşteriye ulaştırılması faaliyetlerini kapsayan lojistik faaliyetleri, sanayisinin pek çok dalında olduğu gibi ilaç sanayisinde de faaliyetlerin aksamadan yürütülebilmesi açısından oldukça dikkat çekici bir yere sahiptir. Özellikle çevresel duyarlılığa verilen önemin artmasıyla birlikte, her sektörde olduğu gibi lojistik sektöründe de çevrenin zarar görmesini engelleyen sistemler tercih edilmeye başlanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, ekonomik, çevresel ve sosyal amaçlar arasında sürekli bir denge geliştirmeyi hedefleyen ve modern lojistik yaklaşımlarından biri olan yeşil lojistik, işletmelere rekabet avantajı sağlayan ve çevresel konulara öncelik veren bir lojistik sistemi olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Günümüzde, çevresel konulara önem verilmesi sadece etik bir sorumluluk değil, aynı zamanda işletmelere değer katan bir unsur hâline gelmiştir. Özellikle XXI. yüzyılda tüm sanayi dallarında olduğu gibi ilaç sanayisinde de maliyetlerin azaltılması ve firma imajının kuvvetlendirilmesi gibi nedenlerden dolayı, çevreci yani yeşil uygulamalar sıklıkla gündeme gelmeye başlamıştır. Bu doğrultuda, ilacın tasarlanmasından üretilmesine, ambalajlanıp tüketiciye ulaştırılmasından imha edilmesi ya da geri dönüşüme tabi tutulmasına kadar tüm süreçlerinde çevre duyarlılığını göz önünde bulunduran yeşil lojistik uygulamaları ilaç sanayi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, yeşil lojistik kavramı genel hatları ile ele alınmış olup, ilaç sanayisinde yeşil lojistiğin yeri ve önemi çeşitli açılardan irdelenmiştir.

Logistics activities, which cover the events of delivering the right product to the right customer at the right time and place, at the right quantity and conditions, with the correct costs, have a remarkable position in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in many branches of the industry. Especially with the increasing importance given to environmental concerns, systems that prevent further damage to the environment have also started to be preferred in the logistics sector as in every sector. In this context, green logistics, which aims to develop a continuous balance between economic, environmental, and social purposes and is one of the modern logistics approaches, has emerged as a logistics system that gives businesses a competitive advantage and prioritizes ecological issues.Today, giving importance to environmental issues is not only an ethical responsibility but also a factor that adds value to businesses. In the twenty-first century, as in all branches of industry, environmental or green practices have been frequently started to come up due to reasons such as reducing costs and strengthening the company image in the pharmaceutical industry. In this regard, green logistics applications, which take into consideration environmental sensitivity in all processes, from designing to manufacturing, packaging, delivery to the consumer to disposal or recycling, are of great importance for the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, the concept of green logistics was discussed in general terms and the place and importance of green logistics in the pharmaceutical industry were evaluated from various perspectives.
