Abstract: Abstract The supply chain management strategy evolves increasingly and includes new areas and issues. The requirements of the sustainable development and its principles are also present in this field. The practical reflection of these ideas in the supply chain is the creation of sustainable and green supply chains. This task includes many activities at both the operational and strategic level. Also in the coordination and implementation of ideas on the level of the whole chain and in participating units which determine a challenge for the managers. The legal, organizational, social, environmental, and economic requirements in the field of sustainability have a huge impact on the supply chains. One of the fundamental processes in the chain is the transportation. It is therefore important to research the role of transport, above all, because of the cost of the construction and operation of the green supply chains. The attention was focused primarily on aspects of cost and organizational activities in the field of the transportation in the green supply chain.
