The purpose of this study is to determine the current sustainability level of freight traffic in Russia and, in particular, in the Republic of Karelia and the emerging conflicts of interest in transport sector “greening”. This work is based on the data of statistical agencies, examinations of various types of freight transport and the results of approbation of transport models of previously conducted studies. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics, regulatory and content analysis of legislative and strategic documents, the case study method and cartographical method. In the course of work, there were determined the prevalence of various types of freight traffic, their impact on the environment and the monetary and non-monetary costs associated with them. It has been carried out a comprehensive assessment of the directions for improving the environmental characteristics of freight transport and their impact on changes in economic and consumer indicators. It is shown that for now there is no understanding on the market which of the directions of “greening” is advanced. The scientific novelty was the establishment that the improvement of the environmental characteristics of freight traffic leads to the transformation of their consumer value and the emergence of conflicts of economic, environmental, and in a number of territories, social interest, and this significantly limits the transition of companies to building sustainable supply chains. To the greatest extent the improvement of consumer qualities occurs with the railway transport “greening”, in respect of other types there are reduced the limits of use in time and range. The potential of transportation accelerating by water transport without compromising its environmental performance is significantly limited. The developed recommendations for improving the sustainability of freight transport and the shown need to take into account conflicts of interest of actors to ensure the environmental, economic and social security of territories are of practical value.
