Abstract

The logistics sector is an industry that significantly impacts the environment and society. Studies have investigated potential strategies to move toward eco-logistics by reducing companies' ecological and societal consequences. The environmental effects of logistics can be diminished by implementing resource and energy efficiency, while social responsibility policies improve the well-being of workers. This chapter analyses the environmental and social data of companies involved in the logistics sector of the Italian ceramic industry. The linear regression statistical model shows that, for logistics companies, increasing social responsibility practices significantly reduces emissions. The chapter highlights the relevance of investing in social responsibility practices as this contributes to emission reduction and, consequently, the transition toward eco-logistics. This investment has an impact on reducing emissions and improving the environmental performance of logistics companies.
