The TSL sector facing the challenges of sustainable development - selected aspects

Overview & Synopsis

The monograph addresses selected social, economic and environmental aspects of the concept of sustainable development in the TFL sector. It is part of the trend of considering how to satisfy the needs of the present generation in such a way as not to limit the possibilities of satisfying those needs by future generations. The publication consists of nine chapters and a supplement. The individual chapters present solutions aimed at sustainable development initiated and put into practice by specific companies related to the TSL industry, as well as public institutions. There are also cross-sectional analyses of the entire TFL sector. The research results presented by the individual authors allow for the conclusion that due to the strategic importance of the TFL sector in the economy, there is an urgent need to involve decision-makers from this sector in initiatives aimed at sustainable development. However, the transformation of TFL sector entities towards sustainability is impossible without the appropriate multidimensional involvement of their employees in this process. Therefore, what follows from the presented considerations, apart from the implementation of internal pro-environmental regulations or technical and technological solutions, it becomes important to pay attention to the appropriate management of human capital in individual organisations from the TFL sector.
