Abstract
Research objective of this study is to create a framework for assessing the environmental and social sustainability of logistics halls. The goal is to determine which sustainability issues and indicators are particularly relevant for managing the best possible environmental and social balance of a logistics hall. A literature review assesses the current state of the art in Life Cycle Sustainability Assessments. Furthermore, a Social Hotspot Database screening and the Real Estate Impact Analysis Tool of the UNEP are utilized to fulfill relevant social categories. The collected data is summarized in a guideline for social and environmental life cycle assessments following the four-phase structure defined in ISO 14040/14044. To finalize the study, an exemplary case study conducting an environmental and social sustainability assessment of a logistics hall in Germany is carried out. The results provide valuable insights for future sustainability assessments of logistics halls and utilization of the developed framework.
