SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS
PPP assessment:
- People
- Planet
- Profit
Multi-dimensional sustainability standards!!!
Economic focus
- Profitability --> "Cost-savings"
- % food lost due to mishandling
- Employment
- Transport efficiency
Environmental focus
- CO2 emissions: (Carbon footprint)
CO2-eq estimation (translate other gases into CO"-measures)
- Energy consumption:
Fuels needed for transportation + Energy requiered for storage conditions
Fossil fuels used and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are key issues.
- Food miles:
"Distance that food travels to get from place to place"
However, sourcing for more local food will not necessarily lead to a lower environmental impact.
- Water use
- Land usage
Social focus
- Nutrional value of food
- Local autonomy
- Local employment
STRATEGIES
-
Process-oriented

Furthermore, external cooperation may help in improving logistics processes.
Market-oriented
Together with the SC partners, the company aims to gain competitive advantage by branding the sustainable performance (Sustainable labeling, such as the "lean and green award")
-
NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION
Transportation modes
- Rail and water transports
traditionally used for lower-value commodities
- Air transports used for highly perishable and higher value commodities
- Trucks
Self-distribution
strategy to gain more bargaining power; this leads to a decrease in the number of food wholesalers
-
Intermodality
"transportation of freight (merci) using multiple modes of transportation without handling any freight itself"
LOCAL DISTRIBUTION
- Profound variability of local conditions throughout the world
- Specialty products
(es. PDO, PGI....)
- Importance of coordinated localized markets
