Ethics and transparency above all.<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Transport and logistics is a highly competitive sector in which, not infrequently, there are companies that, in order to acquire customers, offer services at ever lower prices, to the detriment of quality, safety and compliance with current regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An unreliable transport chain creates serious repercussions for the entire system: for the Clients<\/strong> who are exposed to possible involvement, for the virtuous Transport Companies<\/strong> who are at risk of survival, for the Company<\/strong> which may suffer economic damage and in terms of safety, environment and competitiveness.<\/p>\n

We believe in the importance of a client-carrier<\/strong> collaboration relationship based on transparency and objective knowledge of all information considered potential risk factors.<\/p>\n

We believe that sharing values<\/strong> such as compliance, quality, road safety, eco-sustainability, business continuity, reputation, social responsibility, and respect for rules, is the prerequisite for an ethical supply chain<\/strong> that respects all actors involved in production, transport, logistics and trade.<\/p>\n

We believe that fostering fair competition is the basis for a truly sustainable supply chain, from an economic and social as well as an environmental point of view.<\/p>\n

With benefits for all.<\/strong>
\nFor Principals, for Transport and Logistics Operators, for Society.<\/p>\n

The International Transport and Logistics Rating Protocol TCR was born for this, and with this spirit the Observatory Transport Compliance Rating – O.T.C.R. was born<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Observatory TCR is a non-profit association<\/strong> that promotes and encourages the dissemination of the culture of compliance and sustainability in the transport and logistics sector, through the analysis and evaluation of: corporate structure and organisation, product safety, workplace safety, environmental compliance, road safety, risk management, business continuity, use of technology, reputation and sustainable development. Among others, it also performs an important function of collecting data, news, best practices on the sector at an international level, allowing direct comparison and collegial analysis with the various associate members.<\/p>\n

O.T.C.R.’s membership is open to Full Members<\/strong>, i.e. Industrial and Commercial companies that use Transport and Logistics services, and to Supporting Members<\/strong>, i.e. those companies that, although not using Transport and Logistics services, wish to support the TCR model for its ethical and social purposes.<\/p>\n<\/div>
