Přeprava zboží na VŠE - zmapování uhlíkové stopy a dalších ESG dopadů

This bachelor thesis focuses on the quantification of Scope 3 indirect greenhouse gas emissions and the analysis of related operational impacts within ESG areas at the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE). Designed as a case study of the Žižkov campus, the research evaluates three key value chain categories: purchased goods (category C1), upstream supply logistics (category C4), and waste management (category C5). Due to the unavailability of aggregated financial records from the institution, a mixed-methods research approach was applied, combining internal data analysis, a semi-structured interview with the catering management, and direct field observations on-site. Utilizing the approximation method based on standardized DEFRA conversion factors, the total annual carbon footprint of the analyzed sectors was calculated at 300.56 tonnes of CO2e. The findings clearly identify category 1 (purchased goods and materials) as the primary emission hot spot, generating 98.52% of the total environmental burden. Comparing the empirical data with the university's official Sustainability Strategy revealed several infrastructural and execution gaps, particularly in waste separation consistency and last-mile logistics. Finally, managerial recommendations are formulated, suggesting the implementation of Green Public Procurement, centralized procurement practices, and the transformation of the campus into a "living laboratory" that actively engages the academic community.
