Although strategic directions for decarbonization of the transport sector have already been developed at the national level, effectiveness of sustainable decision-making is closely related to the greening initiative on the local level. The purpose of the paper is to form a framework of greening strategy and sustainable decision-making for transport companies that is based on the necessity to reduce emissions. The research findings are obtained using the systems analysis, SWOT analysis, and cost-benefit method. The paper proves that choosing biogas (methane) as a main transport fuel is a viable and cost-effective initiative and can be used as a financial ground for the company’s strategic formation process that involves both tactical and organizational dimensions. The analysis results also showed threats and opportunities for greening based on switching transport companies to biogas and requiring steps of governmental support in developing biogas station networks. According to the green course, this study also reveals the possibility of establishing strategic management due to an authority delegation map between services and top management of a transport company. The study has made it possible to improve strategic management of a transport company by developing an optimal scheme of interaction between stakeholders and departments in strategic leadership for greening.

Although there is a deep understanding of the problems, there are reasons that do not allow finding swift solutions, and the increasing funding gap for the relevant SDGs is one of them. This study aims to establish the connection between environmental protection investments and the achievement of environmentally oriented sustainable development goals across 31 European countries (26 EU Member States, 3 EFTA Countries, and Ukraine as a Candidate to EU). The paper employed the PLS-SEM approach. The obtained results proved that the accumulated amount of environmental protection investments does not have a statistically significant relationship with the integral indicators of SDG 6 “Clear water and sanitation,” SDG 13 “Climate action,” and SDG 15 “Life on land” (the coefficient of determination, the path coefficient, and the reliability coefficients were insignificant). The study of a similar relationship between the level and the directions of SDGs 6, 13, and 15 achievements also did not reveal any significant results. As the last step of the analysis, the hypothesis about a relationship between environmental protection investments and Environmental Performance Index components was also rejected. Therefore, the statistical significance and relevance of the analyzed indicators were not confirmed. Based on this, a conclusion was made about the insufficiency of investment resources for environmental protection to overcome the gap in achieving environmentally-oriented SDGs.
