Sustainability maturity model

Abstract

ADMIRAL seeks to develop and pilot AI-driven solutions for managing logistics supply chains to reduce transport and logistics emissions and to increase transparency, resilience, and stakeholder cooperation. This deliverable reports the results of the Task 2.4 - Development of factors and KPIs to measure sustainability - carried out in the project’s Work Package 2 - Sustainable Development of logistics & transport. The primary aim of Deliverable 2.4 is to propose a sustainability maturity model by identifying and proposing reference Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure sustainability, adapting the STAR model to estimate the overall sustainability rating of logistics solutions, and determining the probability of sustainability noncompliance risks in various activities. In addition, Deliverable 2.4 analyses the requirements and proposes the specifications for the validation of a green port certification. To achieve its aims, the report elaborates a multifaceted approach by mixing methodological tools and analyses, such as desk research, expert validation (workshops, online consultation, questionnaires), the STAR model methodology for evaluating the sustainability of ADMIRAL logistics solutions and the Bayesian Network analysis for the sustainability risk noncompliance of the AM. It also deploys an in-depth analysis of the regulatory framework, to correlate selected KPIs with EU regulations. This ensures that the ADMIRAL project complies with policies that enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental impact.
