Abstract
In recent decades, the performance of economic and non-economic activities has required them to be friendly with the environment. Transport is one of the areas having considerable potential within the scope. The main assumption to achieve ambitious green goals is an effective green transport evaluation system. However, these systems are researched from the industrial company and supply chain perspective only sporadically. The aim of the paper is to design a conceptual framework for creating the Green Transport (GT) Balanced Scorecard (BSC) models from the viewpoint of industrial companies and supply chains using an appropriate multi-criteria decision making method. The models should allow green transport performance evaluation and support of an effective implementation of green transport strategies. Since performance measures used in Balanced Scorecard models are interdependent, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) was used as the appropriate multi-criteria decision making method. The verification of the designed conceptual framework was performed on a real supply chain of the European automotive industry.

(5) As a result of different importance of green performance measures, Green Transport (GT) evaluation systems should be based on multi-criteria decision making methods [10,12,13]
Since performance measures used in Balanced Scorecard models are interdependent [14], multi-criteria decision making methods that do not require independence among measures must be used
Summary
The performance of economic and non-economic activities has required them to be friendly to the environment. Transport is one of the areas with considerable potential within the scope since it has significant negative impacts on the environment This proactive approach to addressing and eliminating the negative environmental impacts from company and supply chain transport processes is called Green Transport (GT). (5) As a result of different importance of green performance measures, GT evaluation systems should be based on multi-criteria decision making methods [10,12,13]. Balanced Scorecard models from the viewpoint of industrial companies and supply chains using an appropriate multi-criteria decision making method. Since performance measures used in Balanced Scorecard models are interdependent [14], multi-criteria decision making methods that do not require independence among measures must be used. The article is based on authors’ considerations first published in the CSCC’2015 conference paper [16]
