Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses aspects of sustainability and “green” that are relevant to and arise within location problems. More specifically, it describes ways in which some environmental criteria, in particular emissions, can be quantified and integrated with location models. The chapter also presents design problems in which location decisions arise as one of the key ingredients in improving the environmental performance of distribution systems.
