WHO WE ARE
SOS LOGISTICS is the association that, since 2005, has focused on Sustainable Logistics and is the creator of the first Sustainable Logistics® Rating.
The focus of the Association is to collect and promote best practices in Green Logistics and Sustainable Mobility, developing projects, activities and ecosystems aimed at increasing the awareness of contracting companies, government and consumers on the value of these processes.
Our Mission
Sustainable development of logistics and transport processes that meet the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS® RATING
SOS LOGISTICS has devised the Sustainable Logistics® Rating, which certifies the most virtuous companies with sustainability processes and programmes objectified by an independent third party. The Rating is based on the Sustainable Logistics® scheme with 4 main axes – environment, economy, social, system vision/innovation – with a total of 20 challenges and over 140 requirements. The initiative is aimed at all organisations in the supply chain: logistics companies and executives of logistics infrastructures, production companies, retailers and e-commerce platforms.

OUR GOVERNANCE
Fifteen years ago, in March 2005, SOS LOGistica (Association for Sustainable Logistics) was founded, with offices in Milan and Genoa, with the aim of giving space and visibility to an international hot topic.
Citizens of developed countries are in fact less and less tolerant of the traffic and environmental inconveniences associated with the delivery of goods. The aim is to achieve a ‘sustainable’ supply chain, i.e. one that includes environmental, social and economic compatibility and addresses the mobility problems of goods and people, for a more complete and effective value chain.
