Taking into consideration pollution charges issued city councils to reduce CO 2 emissions in freight distribution, we study a Hotelling-like market setting where providers could voluntarily outsource last mile deliveries platforms endowed with eco-friendly vehicles. We considered intensity competition, which is captured switching costs and theoretically find that more contestable markets, interplay environmental policies CSR strategies—intended as consumers-oriented pricing schemes—is likely enhance demand for centres’ deliveries. Conversely, when weak, i.e., have relatively strong power, platforms’ services are less attractive relevant needed spread out greener make environmentally sustainable.
