Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the assessment of sustainable logistics at regional level, given that scholarly literature lacks such research. We created the index of sustainable logistics based on a proprietary methodology, using two basic components: sustainable transport practices and responsible use of natural resources. We analysed data provided by Eurostat and the National Institute of Statistics, we defined the two sub-indices and ranked the eight development regions of Romania, based on the value of the Regional Index of Sustainable Logistics. Based on correlation matrix analysis, we identified a strong positive correlation between the Regional Index of Sustainable Logistics and the Regional Competitiveness Index. The results of this paper demonstrate that regions with superior performance in sustainable logistics practices have a higher level of regional competitiveness.
