Abstract: Abstract For proposing introspective method for the logistics organizations with voluntary carbon reduction wish, the paper takes carbon footprint instead of cost or profit as the objective function of logistics system directly. By combining the traditional classification methods of logistics cost and the measuring methods of carbon footprint, it analyzes the mechanisms of carbon footprint’s generation in details. Then it creates the carbon footprint model of logistics. By solving the model, it obtains the calculation formula of carbon footprint order quantity (COQ) and carbon footprint per unit time which is similar to the traditional economic order quantity (EOQ). Then it analyzes the effect of EOQ deviating from COQ on carbon footprint. By comparing with the effect of COQ deviating from EOQ on cost, the paper gives a way to estimate the economic value of carbon footprint.
