Environmental Voluntary Programs in the Transport Industry in the Post-COVID Situation: The French Experience
2022
This study investigates the drivers impacting the success of the environmental voluntary program recently launched in France. This program, titled EVE (Engagements Volontaires pour l’Environnement), aims to improve transport operators’ efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions in the environment. Due to the complexity of the context in which the EVE program is implemented, we used a System Dynamics (SD) approach. This study offers multiple contributions.

In addition, the study can help transport operators engaged…
Innovation strategies geared toward the circular economy: A case study of the organic olive-oil industry

The findings reveal that circular ec…
