We face to a fundamental challenge for the future of the economic activities where, not only the atmosphere but also the man with its job and the enterprise with its motivated profit search, must find again a new balance. The protocol of sustainable logistics, is born in Italy and for the first time the crossbar joins all these factors raising towards a sustainability definition as it raises in order to innovate, to be more efficient and therefore more competitive. We know - it has specified Witnesses - that will be a complex distance and a lot along that it could be velocizzato only if will grow a new culture in the final consumer who will be able to recognize and to value the difference of produced or a service, not only based on the origin or to the modality of production, but also having considered the logistic process that of it has determined the life-cycle; from supplying to its favorable money laundering or final reuse".
