Abstract
Managing a company's sustainable development has an impact not only on internal processes, but also on interaction with suppliers and improvement of the system of responsible supply chain management. In this regard, it becomes necessary for transport companies as providers of logistics services to pay attention to compliance with sustainability criteria so that cooperation with them has a positive effect on the reputation and positions in customer sustainability rankings. This paper examines the criteria for evaluating the maturity of practices implemented by a logistics service provider for large manufacturing companies in relation to their environmental and social impact. The relevance of the work lies in the need to create tools for assessing the level of sustainable development of companies in the transport industry and develop recommendations for industry-wide standards.
The results of the study might be of interest to managers and specialists of logistics companies and employees of transport universities in view of special importance of high-quality education for achieving sustainable development goals.
