The requirements of the sustainable development and its principles are also present in this field. The practical reflection of these ideas in the supply chain is the creation of sustainable and green supply chains. This task includes many activities at both the operational and strategic level. Also in the coordination and implementation of ideas on the level of the whole chain and in participating units which determine a challenge for the managers. The legal, organizational, social, environmental, and economic requirements in the field of sustainability have a huge impact on the supply chains. One of the fundamental processes in the chain is the transportation. It is therefore important to research the role of transport, above all, because of the cost of the construction and operation of the green supply chains. The attention was focused primarily on aspects of cost and organizational activities in the field of the transportation in the green supply chain.

Based on theliterature, the KPIs used tomeasure the supply chain were identified and a reference model for the implementation of sustainable indicators (Su-KPI’s) at the supply chain level was developed. A content analysis was also carried out in order to indicate the interest of authors in measuring performance in sustainable and green supply chains.

A consequences of smart mobility activities are more wide and common using electromobility. There is no doubt that electromobility is a global trend that unequivocally supports the principles of sustainable development, while being one of the basic elements of the smart mobility. The following discussion critically addresses the indicated topic, especially in the context of the barriers that currently exist and that stand in the way of implementing the expected expansion of electric cars into urban markets. Considering the following assumptions, the threat of urban pollution associated with the increasing number of vehicles (passenger and freight) should be mitigated using smart mobility solutions. In addition, solutions should include that electromobility promotes zero-emissions. Furthermore, the inadequate development of charging infrastructure and the projected energy crisis may result in plans to develop the electromobility ...

It occurs when people are unable to buy enough energy to meet their needs at a socially acceptable level. Despite the many efforts and measures taken to prevent this negative phenomenon, the looming energy crisis could exacerbate it. On the one hand, efforts towards energy transition are intended to prevent this phenomenon, but on the other hand, inadequate restraint on the energy market may lead to its escalation. Various scenarios need to be analysed to ensure that the risks associated with energy shortages do not lead to even greater levels of energy poverty, with negative consequences for societies, economies, and the environment. Using a scenario approach and expert research, as well as mathematical–statistical tools, the article presents possible scenarios related to the implementation of measures affecting energy transformation and the transition to renewable energy sources in economies. The...

A broad spectrum of new supply chain strategy solutions was identified and, based on simulations of selected products, conclusions were drawn and the advantages and disadvantages of theoretical solutions were presented for individual cases. A critical analysis of the literature and simulation methods were used to illustrate the problem presented in this paper, to identify the factors causing greenhouse gas emissions and to draw conclusions in the form of proposals to redesign existing strategies, considering the factors determining the increase in pollution caused by the performed logistics processes. The results of the simulations and the literature analysis indicate that solutions related to the redesign of strategies must consider the specificity of the product and the nature of the chain. No...

The effective implementation of these guidelines of the standards are often subject to initial and periodic evaluation as well as self-evaluation by suppliers. It can be seen that OEMs not only require effective implementation of quality, environmental and security management systems, but also offer a supplier a development program to improve their processes and products. The aim of the article was to try to define the expectations of production companies towards their suppliers regarding the implementation of the sustainability concept. The study presents the results of empirical research conducted with the computer-assisted teleph...

Wzrost popytu na produkty ekologiczne oraz coraz większa wiedza dotycząca wpływu procesów logistycznych na środowisko naturalnie prowadzą do zmian w strukturze łańcucha dostaw. Zmiany ekonomiczne, społeczne i gospodarcze stają się impulsem do tworzenia krótkich łańcuchów dostaw produktów spożywczych. Są one wspierane przez organizacje lokalne, regionalne oraz krajowe. Można stwierdzić, że konstruowanie alternatywnych łańcuchów dostaw jest tendencją rozwojową obserwowaną w Unii Europejskiej. Wskazują na to zarówno opracowania naukowe, jak i praktyczne przykłady. Rozważania mają na celu wskazanie podstaw metodycznych służących konstruowaniu krótkich łańcuchów dostaw, ze szczegól...

The development of the concept of a sustainable supply chain is possible with the use of economic, environmental and social aspects in the processes and activities carried out. These aspects are becoming one of the elements of the decision-making process. The presented considerations are aimed at indicating reference models of evaluation of the functioning of the green supply chain in the context of growth the efficiency in the new business strategy. The content analysis of the literature has made it possible to identify common, input and necessary elements, as well as drivers, barriers and correction mechanisms that have served as the basis for building a reference model for the assessment of the functioning the green supply chain. The conceptual model integrates the identified factors, based on the management theories used in literature and prac...

The goal of the chapter is to identify the impact of banks on sustainable value creation in companies’ business models and diagnose the relationships. The aim of the considerations will be to indicate how business process mapping, using IT tools, can support the bank industry and companies and what impact this has on the creation of new business models. Mapping of processes should show what kind of actions and actions should be taken to prevent and assessment risks. We also want to show what effects the change of approach in this respect can bring from both the banks’ and enterprises’ point of view.

Its size and scope are determined by a variety of factors, ranging from economic development to the direction of energy and climate policy implementation to cultural factors. Our aim in this paper was to carry out a comparative analysis of indicators related to energy poverty and sustainable development to identify correlations and links between the two issues and determine how they are related. The fact that the analysis was performed for most European countries is new and represents a broad spectrum of research; we were not limited to studies of countries bound by formal political-economic arrangements or by consideration of the degree of economic development. This approach enabled explication of how diverse the situation is in Europe. The research methods used included a critical analysis of the literature and the use of descriptive and mathematical-statistical tools. The main conclusions and findings of ...

Alternative short supply chains for organic products are considered when seeking optimal scenarios to obtain the highest profit for producers, with maximizing profit being one of the main reasons for taking up business within this type of supply chain strategy. The aim of this study was to clarify the ideas of short food supply chains (SFSCs) and the organic production of food products and to indicate how economic benefits can be achieved in individual markets. The identified research gaps include the lack of a strong theoretical basis, as well as the lack of empirical studies concerning the multi-objective optimization of the economic effects of producers using computer simulation methods. However, the aim of this research was to identify the activities within such structures that can produce economic effects and influence the competences and soft relationshi...
