the environmental impact of their operations and take the effort to be eco-friendly.
Thus, in this case, the environmental practices of Southern Hauliers, Thailand-based

energy conservation practices in the company including both of fuel and electricity,
water conservation and waste management. In addition, the case also examines the
training and the promotion of environmental awareness and also environmental
knowledge of the management and drivers. The main drive for environmental
practices in the organization is also investigated. Southern Hauliers main focus is on
minimization of energy and fuel consumption. Other environment practices in their
organization are emphasized. The main drive for these practices in Southern Hauliers
is to gain economic benefits and not for environmental reasons.
