Green transport solutions in a medium-sized courier company

This paper produces an analysis of the Latvia-based courier delivery company DPD Latvija to determine its possibilities and evaluate sustainable solutions that it has implemented already. The obtained results are used to select suitable green transport solutions using multi-criteria decision making and cost-benefit analysis methods and to develop appropriate recommendations that help to improve the sustainable solutions already used in the company or to introduce new ones.The main green transport solutions covered by the research are the most impactful ones and include switching to electric vehicles, usage of alternative fuels such as CNG, biodiesel and hydrogen cell, and an innovative model of crowdshipping. There are several more solutions covered in the research that can be used to increase a company's contribution to decarbonization.The resulting framework or action plan, can help the company make best investments in implementing green transportation solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially attract new customers. The added value of the work is the opportunity for another Latvian medium-sized courier company to use the proposed framework as a basis for creating its own plan.

Credit risk management in the banking sector of Azerbaijan.

This thesis examines credit risk management (CRM) practices in the banking sector of Azerbaijan with a focus on the application and effectiveness of international and local standards in credit risk management. The study begins by defining credit risk and discussing its importance in maintaining financial stability in banks. Various theoretical models of credit risk measurement, including traditional and modern approaches, are reviewed and their applicability in the Azerbaijani context is assessed. An in-depth analysis of credit risk management in a commercial bank (Kapital Bank) is conducted and differences in risk exposure and management strategies are identified. The study also critically analyzes the adoption and implementation of the Basel Accords (Basel I, II and III) in Azerbaijani banks and compares these international standards with local practices. The findings reveal significant differences in Kapital Bank's CRM practices as well as divergence in the implementation of the Basel standards. The thesis concludes with recommendations aimed at improving the regulatory framework and CRM practices to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of credit risk management at Kapital Bank.

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.
