The issue of sustainable development is currently the subject of interest of researchers from many scientific fields. The idea of sustainable development includes the economy, the society and the environment. In the context of sustainable development, the subject of animal welfare is being increasingly regarded as essential. Ensuring animal welfare is now the key issue for public opinion, livestock farmers, animal rights organizations, entrepreneurs, transport companies and slaughterhouses. Animal welfare should be applied according to Five Freedoms, which are: freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from pain and injury, freedom from physical discomfort, freedom to express normal behavior, freedom from stress and fear. The purpose of this article is to present the current state of awareness about ensuring animal welfare as an element of sustainable development on the example of Polish companies which transport animals to slaughterhouses. As a research method the authors used the survey method. The questionnaire was addressed to the owners of enterprises transporting slaughter animals and to drivers of these enterprises. The results found out that there is a serious need to change the operation of the transport system due to ethical aspects.Keywords: Sustainable development, animal welfare, animal transport, transport management
Transport management takes into account a wide range of decisions: from defining a strategic plan to choosing the type and method of transport. The transport of live animals is a specific type of transport due to the type of “load” which is the living organism. For animals, transport, especially over long distances, carries the risk of injury and is undoubtedly a source of stress. Increased interest in the welfare of animals during transport is now an object of interest not only for animal organizations, but also business communities, animal breeders, slaughterhouses and enterprises transporting animals. The article presents and describes the requirements for managing the transport of slaughter animals, taking into account animal welfare.

The aim of the article is to assess the impact of recipients and suppliers on the state-owned PKS enterprises. A non-random choice was used to select a research sample. The choice was deliberate with the use of the appropriate criteria. The enterprises forming the strategic group and at the same time being the research group were selected. The qualitative methods were used in the research. The article uses Porter's Five Forces Framework tool.On the basis of the partial analysis of Porter's Five Forces, it is stated that the surveyed enterprises have a stronger influence on the suppliers than on the customers. The functioning of the surveyed group of enterprises is significantly dependent on suppliers. In turn, the customers of the examined group of enterprises affect its functioning to a small extent. The article aims to fill the research gap existing in the lack of in-depth research in the field of strategic analysis on these enterprises. The presented research can be used to create an individual strategy and achieve a competitive advantage of each company in the strategic group.
