Special Issue Information
Dear Colleauges,
The Special Issue “Logistics for Tomorrow: Navigating the Future of Sustainable Distribution” explores how to integrate sustainable practices into logistics and distribution, addressing the challenges of defining, quantifying and monitoring sustainability in global supply chains. The research included in this Special Issue encompasses socio-economic and scientific approaches, analysis tools for measuring sustainability and the application of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, digitization and electrification. There is a particular focus on laws, policies and regulations that support sustainable practices in logistics, with an emphasis on urbanization and last-mile delivery.
Authors are also offered a platform to present integrated solutions that promote the circular economy and reduce the carbon footprint, taking into account social and economic aspects. The goal is to provide guidance to both business entities and policy makers for shaping the future of sustainable logistics.
