Common factors of sustainability

We have developed the common factors of sustainability. According to this approach, we will assign sustainability indicators in logistics very soon. As our research area is logistics, we decided not to go into common factors division and just to define two groups: internal and external factors.

So the distinguised external factors are:

1) legal system including taxes,

2) government investments,

3) target market,

4) private investments,

5) HR,

6) the size of the company,

7) infrastructure of the company,

8) used techs,

9) general management,

10) procurement,

11) type of the product,

12) the market competition and whole state,

13) the X factor.

The internal factors:

1) labour organization,

2) production volumes,

3) transportation,

4) communicational system,

5) capacity,

6) the X factor.

Of course, all these factors can be grouped according to their sphere of activity or initiative. And so the internal factors can be further subdivided. This subdivision we’ll present in the next post.
