Abstract
Globalisation has activated a new industrial revolution, leading to a worldwide distribution of production and markets. The increasing demands for sustainability, however, have created new challenges and emerging opportunities for society and for business. In line with increasing international trade, the need to transport raw materials, energy, components, intermediate products and goods increases. The traditional transnational ways of manufacturing products and delivering services cannot be sustained in the emerging eco-sensitive business environments, where growing trade volumes and commercial operational patterns impose significant environmental challenges. This is for example evident in the greenhouse gas emission footprint related to production, logistics, transportations and other internationally operating network-related activities. Therefore, the society has to find answers how to design products and services in a more sustainable way.
