SCOPE 3 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FRAMEWORK FOR AN AIRLINE COMPANY

This research focuses on Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in the context of an airline company. In light of sustainability, organizations are increasingly looking to understand their impact on climate change across their operations, products, and value chain. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission accounting and reporting provide the necessary baseline data to implement effective sustainability and cost reduction strategies. Scope 3 emissions, as defined by the GHG Protocol, result from the use of assets not owned or controlled by the reporting entity but indirectly influence its value chain. For airlines, these emissions include GHGs associated with all purchased raw materials and emissions from the use of equipment during its useful life. This research aims to design an accounting and reporting framework to begin assessing Scope 3 emissions for the national Latvian airline company, Air Baltic Corporation AS. This framework serves as a methodological basis and practical guide, enabling the company to align its strategy with sustainable development goals and quantify the potential impact of Scope 3 emissions across its value chain.

This research looks into the possibility of utilizing artificial intelligence proposed model to schedule through a decision support system to reduce mistake from human intervention. Techniques employed includes of extensive literature searches, six qualitative interviews with two respondents per industry and 109 quantitative online surveys for crew scheduling department respondents. The data collected from the survey was analyzed and presented in the form of graphs to ease interpretation of the this research by concentrating on the challenges and costs involved in Artificial Intelligence. Thus, the techniques such as Data reduction and abduction logic have been used to find the sound information out of the whole set of information.From the survey results and interview questions, there are major benefits of incorporating AI in crew scheduling and rostering. The study also presents the best approach that low-cost airlines can adopt to lower errors and uphold performance, effectively showing that the adoption of AI in the industry is significantly beneficial
