Fokus enbart på utsläpp gör hållbarhet till en prestation snarare än den bästa lösningen19.11.2024 10:39:11 EET | Pressmeddelande

I takt med att urbanisering och e-handel omformar vår värld har så kallade last-mile-leveranser blivit en kritisk länk i leveranskedjan och en central hållbarhetsutmaning. Ny forskning föreslår att ledare och forskare bör utveckla strategier som inte bara fokuserar på utsläpp, utan också balanserar miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska mål, samt främjar samarbete på individ-, organisations- och systemnivå.

Pelkkiin päästöihin keskittyvä kestävyystyö on näennäistä eikä tarjoa parasta ratkaisua19.11.2024 10:39:11 EET | Tiedote

Kaupungistumisen ja verkkokaupan muovatessa maailmaamme viimeisen kilometrin toimituksista on tullut toimitusketjun kriittinen osa ja keskeinen kestävyyshaaste. Uusi tutkimus viittaa siihen, että pelkästään päästöihin keskittyvien johtajien, kaupunkien päättäjien ja tutkijoiden tulisi mieluummin kehittää strategioita, jotka tasapainottavat ympäristöön, yhteiskuntaan ja talouteen liittyviä tavoitteita ja edistävät yhteistyötä yksilö-, organisaatio- ja järjestelmätasoilla.

Focusing only on emissions makes sustainability a performance rather than the best solution19.11.2024 10:39:11 EET | Press release

As urbanisation and e-commerce reshape our world, Last-Mile Delivery (LMD) has become a critical link in the supply chain and a pivotal sustainability challenge. New research suggests that managers, city leaders, and researchers who focus solely on emissions should rather develop strategies that balance environmental, social, and economic goals and promote collaboration across individual, organisational, and systemic levels.
