Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Joëlle Morana
Abstract Urban logistics is a field that studies the best solutions for urban freight
distribution with high environmental objectives. However, most actions are started
by public authorities without taking into account the impacts of the new organi-
zational schemas in the existing distribution enterprises' organization. This chapter
proposes a conceptual framework for urban green logistics planning and evalua-
tion, in order to relate urban logistics to green supply chain management, i.e. the
public authorities' perspective to the enterprise's vision. Therefore, a dashboard is
proposed and illustrated, as well as the conceptual framework, via a case study: the
urban logistics system Cityporto (Padua, Italy).
