Tiivistelmä
The aim of the thesis is to determine the primary sources of CO2 footprint from the Metropolia UAS library's e-resources and investigate if it is possible to decrease them. The two components of this objective are as follows: first, figuring out the input from major contributors to the carbon footprint and, if practical, quantifying it; and second, investigating and formulating suggestions for potentially reducing the impact of these major contributors to the carbon footprint.
The research approach is the applied action research chosen as this kind of research approach fits with the main objective to improve for a particular issue rather than to just accumulate knowledge. The research techniques used for this thesis include observation, questionnaires, document analysis, and interviews.
Finding the accessible advice from reputable sources and reviewing the literature on related businesses where e-resources were the keys components of this thesis. The current body of knowledge found the applicable Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services and Category 11: Use of Sold Products, which fall under Scope 3 and are related to several suggestions accessible to achieve sustainability.
As a result, contributors to the greenhouse gas emissions from the e-resources have been identified in relation to Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services and Category 11: Use of Sold Products of Scope 3 of the GHG Protocol. Additionally, the outcome consists of verified suggestions for using e-resources in a more sustainable manner.
The business impact is that suitable practices should be incorporated to use the e-resources in more sustainable manner.
