The environmental sustainability of logistics facilities is increasingly critical, but at the academic and managerial level there is a lack of a standardized and comprehensive methodology to assess their environmental impact. This research proposes a structured model to quantify both consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adopting a three-step methodology that combines several approaches. Academic literature supported the development of an analytical model that was corroborated and developed through eleven in-depth interviews with experts in the logistics industry. The proposed methodology considers heterogeneous sources of consumption as well as different types of uses within logistics buildings, further subdividing consumption and emissions for the different functional areas of warehouses and proposing a set of Environmental Performance Indicators to foster a clearer understanding of warehouse environmental performance. This methodology represents a robust and replicable tool available to managers to conduct both internal assessments and benchmarking with competitors or other actors along the supply chain, thus helping to outline corporate if not entire supply chain sustainability strategies.
