WE BRING SUSTAINABILITY INTO LOGISTICS
Together, one step at a time
The Sustainable Logistics® label
The Association for Sustainable Logistics
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS
Sustainable logistics is the future of the economy. It is a revolutionary approach to supply chain management, which aims to reduce its environmental and social impact by extracting value and competitiveness in the medium to long term. Through the use of efficient means of transport, renewable energy, innovative technologies and responsible processes, sustainable logistics protects the planet, improves working conditions, reduces risks and creates business value.
It is a win-win solution: everyone wins, including companies, who can change the rules of the game, making logistics a process with less impact on the planet and people and transparent for all stakeholders. Investing in a new culture for sustainable logistics is the first step towards a world that is both fairer and more resilient and competitive.
THE FIRST SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS® LABEL:
Companies and consumers can now make a new social pact with shared rules, thanks to SOS LOGistica, the association that owns the first label in Italy that guarantees, defends and promotes sustainable logistics.
The purpose of the label is to offer companies a practical tool, in relation to the many challenges the logistics sector is facing, and to make their commitment to sustainability transparent and objective, through the verification of policies and actions by an independent third party body. It is the antidote to greenwashing.
1 LABEL, 4 BENEFITS
INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC MODEL
The scheme is a reference model exclusively designed for the development of sustainability in logistics based on more than 15 years of experience and observation of best practices and industry trends.
ESG IMPACT
The scheme supports the ability to observe and understand what to measure of one’s ESG impact necessary to assess the financial balance of sustainability choices with the economic return, as indicated by the latest European standards for dual materiality.
JOURNEY
The scheme enables the creation of an organic sustainability development plan. The scheme tells us where we are, what the ‘starting line’ is, and outlines what the ‘journey’ may be to achieve the sustainability goals that are relevant to our stakeholders.
REPUTATION
By obtaining the Sustainable Logistics® label, companies enhance their brand by applying it to products, means of transport, logistics facilities and showing it in all communication with different targets, up to the consumer
