Effects of the industry agreement for fossil-free delivery: current state and paths forward

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

The Swedish retail landscape is currently undergoing a profound transformation, leading to a rapid growth in consumer deliveries. E-commerce deliveries bring about multifaceted and complex challenges related to environmental, economic, and social aspects. Initiated by the Swedish Trade Federation with the support of ASTER, the industry agreement for fossil-free delivery represents a significant milestone on the path to sustainable e-commerce. The project aims to identify and describe the effects of the industry agreement for fossil-free delivery. By exploring these effects, the project will generate important knowledge that forms the basis for the agreement's further development. Several interviews will be conducted with e-retailers and distributors to assess the effects of the industry agreement and provide a foundation for its ongoing development.
