“…They emphasise the need for a sustainable development in order to incorporate the triple bottom dimensions represented by the social, the environmental and the financial performances in the assessment of the agribusiness activities (Slaper and Hall, 2011). A unified concept of sustainable supply chain management was provided by Hassini et al (2012). It represents the management of supply chain operations, resources, information and funds in order to maximize the supply chain profitability while at the same time minimizing the environmental impacts and maximizing the social well-being.…”

“…Several reviews studies classified researches devoted to the sustainable supply chain management over different criteria. One of the main conclusions was that they focused mainly on the manufacturing sector because it was one of the first industries concerned by environmental regulations (Hassini et al, 2012). In agriculture, such studies mainly discussed the appropriate tools used in the sustainability assessment like simulation modelling in van der Vost et al (2009) or life cycle assessment in Maton and Hall (2007) based on case studies' assessment (Cox et al, 2007;Hall and Matos, 2010).…”

The paper investigates the main changes that have taken place in the Romanian fruits and vegetables supply chain over the past twenty years. Its sustainability is assessed using time-series data from different official and private data-bases applying statistic research methods. Results showed that the Romanian supply chain is dominated in terms of both inputs used and offer, by imports originating from different EU countries. The local subsistence and semi-subsistence farms cannot provide enough qualitative and quantitative products such as to penetrate the supermarkets, the main players from the market. Agritourism, a potential niche market, was investigated using sampling techniques. The guesthouses from one of the most important ecotourism destinations where assessed by face-to-face interviews. Results showed that even such short-marketing chains are unsustainable tools for the fresh fruits and vegetables products sectors. The lack of governance for the local producers does not allow them to enter on such niche market. All this findings can provide important incentives for better future targeted sectorial agricultural policies.

“…En [13] se realiza un análisis de las métricas usadas en las cadenas de suministro sustentables; como indicadores resaltan las emisiones de CO 2 , la confiabilidad del servicio que está asociado a la satisfacción del cliente, el consumo de combustible y el costo total. Según [14] se debe considerar el efecto del uso de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC), en el desempeño del transporte, donde la principal hipótesis es la existencia de una relación positiva entre el uso de TIC y la disminución del tiempo de respuesta a los clientes, proponiendo implementar indicadores sobre el uso de tecnologías de la información en el transporte.…”

RESUMENEl presente artículo propone un nuevo marco metodológico para el desarrollo de indicadores que permitan medir el desempeño de las actividades clave para cuatro áreas decisionales identificadas en las empresas de transporte de carga terrestre, siendo estas: gerencia, soporte administrativo, operaciones -logística-y tecnología de procesos. La propuesta teórica se basa en un análisis detallado de literatura científica, de este análisis es posible identificar las actividades clave en cada área decisional de las empresas, al igual que los recursos que se ven afectados por variables internas o externas a la operación y que impactan el desempeño empresarial. Como resultado se propone un marco de indicadores para la medición del desempeño de las empresas de transporte de carga que incluye la definición de cada indicador y cómo calcularlo. Finalmente, se concluye que es posible obtener un conjunto de indicadores que se basen en las necesidades identificadas en literatura científica sin obviar las particularidades de las empresas de transporte de carga, lo que asegura la funcionalidad y el éxito de la implementación de estos indicadores.Palabras clave: Indicadores de desempeño, actividades logísticas, transporte terrestre de carga, Logística. ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new methodological framework for the indicators development that allows measuringe the performance of the key activities on the four decisional areas identified on the land freight transport companies: Management, Administrative support, Operations -Logistics and Process technology. The theoretical proposal is based on a detailed analysis of scientific literature, with this analysis is possible to identify the key activities in each decisional

“…More precisely, in the last decade, eco-efficiency solutions have taken a relevant position in firms due to pressures from government regulators, community activists, global competition, and nongovernmental organizations [4]. As a consequence, the need for measuring the impact of sustainable solutions has increased since then [5].…”
