ASLOG, Club Déméter and the Institute of Commerce create E.VO.L.U.E.


The three activist organisations wish to collaborate in structuring a pragmatic commitment for efficient city logistics oriented towards the Smart City.
Better efficiency coupled with greater representativeness are the two ambitions of this collaboration. ASLOG, Club Déméter and the Institut du Commerce share the same observation: urban distribution represents a major challenge for both public authorities and economic players. There is an urgent need to structure participatory approaches that associate these two stakeholders in order to develop efficient models, both in terms of operations and environmental footprint, and in terms of economic reality. The three bodies are united around the same objective: a CSR urban logistics model.
This dynamic has been named EVOLUE, which stands for " Voluntary Commitment for Efficient Urban Logistics". A voluntary commitment which is therefore not set in stone and whose ambition is to merge the energies of the three organisations and to mobilise its members effectively. The objective is to build bridges with territories in order to deploy responsible solutions.
The EVOLUE approach will build on existing initiatives within the ASLOG, the Institut du Commerce or the Club Déméter which are already working on the subject. Bringing the work together and speaking with a single voice will also tend to make each future initiative more credible.
The 4 levers for the implementation of concrete solutions:

Data & Optimization

Supply chain organization

Operational and human resources

Delivery areas / infrastructure
The stages of implementation :
KNOW: to collect data in order to have a knowledge base on the studied territory as a priority.
ACT: suggest experiments and evaluate them on all known negative externalities: GHGs, pollutants, noise, accidents, congestion, etc.
UNDERSTAND:analysing data, identifying potential leads in relation to the territory (local authorities, local actors, etc.).
PERENNIZE: to structure a framework of commitment that allows the community to recognize the efforts undertaken by operators, principals and virtuous providers.
