Social Aspects of Urban Logistics in the Context of CSR
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
Changes in the economy are affecting the development of urban areas, as well as the attitudes and awareness within them. An important issue today is that of social aspects which not only relate to the essence of urban logistics, but also constitute one of the elements around which the concept of corporate social responsibility oscillates. This article addresses the relationships and common areas occurring between urban logistics and the concept of corporate social responsibility from the point of view of social factors.
