CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on Sustainable Solutions
beyond Mobility of Goods

SustainableMoG 2015

13 – 14 October, 2015

Bratislava, Slovakia

The increasing environmental costs and growing customer pressure for eco-friendly products lead many companies and supply chains to look at sustainability as a new measure of competitiveness. In practice, sustainable mobility can include projects to reduce environmental costs and any form of waste through implementation of innovative green technologies within supply chain. More general view involves a close collaboration among supply chain partners to design and implement more efficient and eco-friendly transport, products, packaging, reverse logistics, warehousing.

The goal of the Sustainable Solutions not only in Mobility of Goods conference is to provide a platform for discussion about achieving a more sustainable balance between economic, environmental and social objectives in the area of transport, logistics, marketing and supply chain management. The conference will be focused not only on business and industry, but other areas of sustainable mobility
