Sammendrag
HeidelbergCement has enhanced their sustainable strategy and developed the

Sustainable Commitments 2030 as a response to the UN Sustainable Development

Goals. In order to reach their sustainability goals, HeidelbergCement seeks to

reduce their environmental footprint and to create long-term value for stakeholders

and society. This involves consolidation of volumes and modernisation of their

logistic system through the Sjursøya terminal in the Port of Oslo. Therefore, the

objective of this thesis is to investigate how HeidelbergCement, as a construction

material supplier, can contribute to the Green Shift in the construction industry by

modernising their distribution system through port integration. The research

question was the following: How can a construction material supplier contribute

to the Green Shift in the construction industry by changing its logistical distribution

system through port integration?

To examine this problem, different types of analytical methods are included. This

thesis has a mixed method strategy. Data was obtained through multiple in-depth

interviews with HeidelbergCement, NorBetong and the Port of Oslo. Furthermore,

a case study is used to identify and explain the resources that makes up the current

and potential future distribution systems. The effects of modernisation is quantified

and discussed in terms of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Our findings indicate that the modernisation of distribution system contributes to

the economic, socio-political and environmental dimensions. In particular, the

modernisation has the potential to yield a reduction in emission of CO2 with 52 %,

NOx with 49 % and SO2 with 70 %. The study can be used as an example to

showcase how sea transportation and port integration can contribute to greening the

construction industry. Furthermore, our findings illuminate the role and function of

a port in a supply chain where long-term relation can facilitate for reducing

environmental footprint and sustainable securement of raw materials.
