Metodologia para sistema de reconhecimento de transporte de carga sustentável

Abstract

The Recognition System in Sustainable Freight Transport is a methodology that works as a management tool related to needs of increasing competitiveness and efficiency in freight transport, number of trips, fuel consumption, motorization, among others. Certification is a means of guaranteeing sustainability standards and balance in the use of economic, social and environmental aspects. Establishing a recognition system is a process of change that requires the commitment of those involved and application of good practices, the maintenance stages require a long-term effort to obtain credibility, because the participation of external experts and companies in the evaluation contributes to reduce the influences and uncertainties of the recognition criterion. In light of the difficulties of establishing a green supply chain, we propose a method with multiple approaches with an emphasis on fuzzy logic. The purpose is to reduce the indecision of judgment, the trade-off between sustainability aspects, to debug the qualitative variables and to reduce interference from competitors, however, connecting society to the gain of efficiency and maintenance of the environment. The procedure was applied to six companies that have carbon reduction programs, firms with a core business in transport activities had greater success in the transition to low carbon operations. The certification levels allowed visual contact between consumers and the companies, making it possible to monitor sustainability actions in freight transportation operations and the competitiveness to achieve higher labeling levels
