“…As a follow-up to these few survey-based studies, the present research attempts to go a step forward and establish the relationship between responsibility for international delivery, expressed as Incoterms ® clauses in international sales contracts, and division of national trade-related transport emissions in bilateral trades. This is also in line with a recent study by Stojanović and Ivetić [11], which suggested that Incoterms ® clauses may be used in macrologistic assessments and benchmarking. The focus of this study is on transport emissions in supply chains because freight transport accounts for 80-90% of the logistics-related emissions [12].…”

“…The responsibility could be assigned to different parties according to gradient division instead of the current binary approach. Gradient division can be obtained by the modified characteristic function (see Equation ( 1)) similar to that in [11] or by disaggregated trade flows by sector. It would be interesting to also consider a wider geographical area and case studies of other countries.…”

“…The responsibility for delivery is often transferred from a sales party to its logistics service providers, freight forwarders, and other logistics intermediaries to manage and control international delivery and to gain a competitive advantage via logistics expertise [11,14,15]. These companies have intermediary roles between the exporters and importers, carriers, ports, logistics centres, warehouses, customs, and all other parties within the supply chains.…”

“…It also reduces the risks, minimises the costs, and improves the overall efficiency and effectiveness of delivery to the end customer [17]. However, the preferences regarding their usage are heavily underutilised in transport and logistic research at the national level [11,17].…”

Assessment of International Trade-Related Transport CO2 Emissions—A Logistics Responsibility Perspective

International supply chains generate substantial amounts of CO2 emissions. However, established methodologies for national freight transport emission assessments do not consider such international perspectives sufficiently. This research aims to show how logistic responsibility may be used in ex post transport CO2 emission assessments, for macrologistic or supply chain levels. We propose an original approach to estimate and allocate CO2 emissions generated by international freight transport between trade countries. The proposed method relies on the applied Incoterms® rules in sales contracts. A new indicator, the index of responsibility for transport emissions (RTE-index), is introduced to allocate bilateral trade-related transport CO2 emissions. This is the first time that the Incoterms® clauses are used for macrologistic assessments of international trade-related transport CO2 emissions. Our approach is exemplified using bilateral trade-related transport flows between Serbia and other European countries. The introduced RTE-index is expected to help visualise average national trade-related transport CO2 emission responsibilities; increase awareness regarding environmental considerations among trade parties, logistics companies, and national organisations; and provide new perspectives for environmental transport policy actions.

“…Previous studies analysed and examined the impact of digital technologies on logistics performance of companies (i.e. micro logistics level) (Kayikci, 2018;Lin & Ho, 2009) or on country level the relationship between competitiveness and logistics performance (Çemberci et al, 2015;Ekici et al, 2019), trade and logistics performance (Gani, 2017), environment and logistic performance (Liu et al, 2018) as well as incoterms clauses and logistics performance (Stojanović & Ivetić, 2020). Hence, building upon a comprehensive literature review, to the best of our knowledge, assessing the impact of digitalisation on logistics performance on country level (i.e.…”

The logistics performance has a crucial role in the industrial and economic development of countries. This study aims to underline implications for policy makers in improving the logistics performance of countries in terms of Industry 4.0. For this purpose, the effect of digitalisation on logistics performance is analysed by using correlation and multiple regression analysis. The empirical study builds upon dimensions and indicators of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and Logistics Performance Index (LPI) of the World Bank. The results indicate that governmental policies should target to deliver sound framework conditions for the generation of human capital (here: ICT specialists), sustainable usage of internet services (e.g. professional social networks, online sales, etc.), integration of digital technologies (e.g. Big Data, Cloud computing, etc.), as well as digital connectivity (here: fixed broadband and 4G coverage) in order facilitate improvement of logistics performance.

Circularity assessment of logistics activities for green business performance management

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The population of the world is increasing, and product demand is increasing, making a linear economy ineffective, and therefore, this situation makes the circular economy (CE) a requirement. Economic, social, and environmental factors all play a role in the CE. Also, logistics activities are critical parts of the CE. Hence, this study's goal is to create a framework for evaluating organizations' CE logistics performance. The main contribution of the study is the creation of a framework to assess the circularity performance, including various logistics activities, and measure the performance of logistics activities. To establish a list of criteria, 30 experts were interviewed. The criteria were ranked using fuzzy statements. The selected multi‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) method, data envelopment analysis, is applied using IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio version 20.1.0.
