Improving the environment, like the quality of life, comes at a cost. In this regard, scientists and practitioners of the developed countries of the world raise the problem of finding a compromise between the results of economic activity, in particular transport, and the cost of measures to mitigate its negative consequences for the environment and society. Overcoming this problem lies in the search for optimal socially responsible economic solutions that can balance the economic, environmental and social needs of business, the state and society. The article analyses the main aspects of the social and environmental activities of transport and logistics companies. A new solution to the methodological problem of analysing the socio-environmental efficiency of transport and logistics companies through the inclusion of additional private performance indicators is proposed. The expert method determined particular indicators of social and environmental efficiency, on the basis of which the absolute values of the integrated indicators were calculated. They were followed by monitoring of the introduction of environmental principles into the economic activity of 10 transport companies of Ukraine in 2015–2020. This approach allows making scientifically based effective management decisions in the implementation of transport and logistics schemes for the delivery of goods; determine quantitative criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of proposed social and environmental measures. The results of the study showed that the socially responsible management of transport and logistics companies helps reduce the environmental impact of transport services without compromising their quality, cost, reliability, productivity or efficiency.
