Studying Carbon Footprint Reduction by Organizations: Tesco Case Study

This report presents a feasibility study on the impact of carbon footprint reduction by organizations, using Tesco as a case study. It highlights the significance of carbon footprint reduction in mitigating climate change and promoting a sustainable environment. The study outlines the aims and objectives, which include understanding the impact of carbon footprint reduction on the environment and Tesco's productivity, and evaluating Tesco's contributions to achieving zero carbon footprints by 2050. The research methodology employs an interpretivism philosophy and a descriptive research design, using a deductive approach for data collection through secondary sources such as journals and online portals. The study addresses major areas of concern, including the impact of carbon footprints on the environment, wildlife, human health, and the role of Tesco in reducing emissions through various strategies. The report concludes with a list of references used in the study, providing a comprehensive overview of the research findings and methodologies.

Title
To study the impact of carbon footprint's reduction by organisation towards the sustainable
environment. A case study on Tesco
Significance
The carbon footprint has been appeared the at the frequents level of topic among the news
regarding its explosion of information that has been emerged responsible for drastically level of
climate change. The carbon foots have the overall level of amount of greenhouses gas emission
which have primary level of carbon dioxide, associated with an organization, event or
production. This topic has the major level of significance as the carbon footprints have been
found as the major level effects on the environments. This have resulted in rising up temperature
and shifting of precipitation level pattern. This have also resulted in the changes in growing
pattern so plants along with indigenous claims moving towards the cooler climates. On the other
hand, it has the clear level of estimation that’s the companies have majorly contributing in
increase level of growth in greenhouse has emission which is impacting as obstacle to achieve
the sustainable level of environment growth. The company Tesco have the clear level of step
which is contributing in the reduction of absolutes emission by 31% with the use of market based
by calculating the electricity impacts along with 21% reduction by location-based method.
Aims and objectives
Aims- To study the impact of carbon footprints' reduction by organisation towards the
sustainable environment. A case study on Tesco
Objective
To determine the importance of sustainable environment.
To study the impact of carbon footprint's reduction on the environments and Tesco productivity.
To evaluate the major level of contribution taken by Tesco to zero carbon footprints by 2050.
Approach of data collection
Research philosophy
It has been defined as the way or belief in which he information regarding the research problems
will be gathered and well as used. This will way an important role in all over to have proper
level of justification in research strategies. For this Research, the interpretivism philosophy will
be used in order to have proper level of measurements if factual knowledge. On the other hand, it

is considered more level of important to have particular level of relationships in research
variables
Research design
It is the set of variety of strategies that are considered to be integrated together in more logical
and coherent way in order to have proper level of addressing the research problem in more
effective way. It has been defined as the blue print of research problems by having proper data
analysis as the effective and apoprotein reassert design will have meet creation of effective
studies. There will be involvement of descriptive research design which a have major focus if
summarising the entire level of phenomena which will be helpful to meet the designed level of
objectives.
Research approach
It is considered to plan level of procedures to have the maintained of broad steps of detained
methods of data collection, interpretation and data analysis. Yo have the selection in more
appropriate ways will have major considerations over identifies the appropriate method of data
collection. This is also helpful for researcher to have the proper level of intercepting over
different research question. The two approaches are deductive and inductive speech. In this there
will be use of latter ones which have initializing the data into specific ones of data collection,
interpretation and data analysis.
Data collection
This the process to have the collection of information formal level of relevant source s in order
of answering appropriate level of research problems. It is considerable important aspects in order
to have proper marinating the reliability, accuracy and the validity of research in the repost there
will be collection of data through secondary sources by having collected either from journals,
articles, newspapers, online portals and from various other sources
Sampling techniques
It has been defined as the group of people which have eth taken in segregated manner form the
large level of population to have participations in the research study. The population has bene
elected as re on the basis of size and cost of research which will also be helpful in the increasing
level of accuracy and research findings. In this research there will be use of the non-probability
sampling in which sample will be selected randomly from the population for different
characteristics.

Data analysis
It is the procedure which is used cleaning inspecting, modelling along with all level of
transforming the kind of data to have achievement of useful level of immurations in order to
have reach towards conclusions n support level of decision making. In this research, thematic
analysis is the qualitative research to have case level of examination to identifying the common
level of themes tries to find out something out of people’s knowledge, opinion, experience or
views.
Major areas of concern
carbon foot prints and environments
As The carbon foots have the overall level of amount of greenhouses gas emission which have
primary level of carbon dioxide, associated with an organization, event or production.
This have resulted in rising up temperature and shifting of precipitation level pattern. this have
also resulted in the changes in growing pattern so plants along with indigenous claims moving
towards the cooler climates. There is major level of erosion and destroying of ecosystem long
with coastal areas where estimated could be displaces by rising seas.
Carbon foot prints and wildlife along with human health.
As there is increase level of temperatures, it has recycled in the shifting level of weather patterns
which have resulted in threatening the climates changes. On the other hand, the carbon foot
prints are having the negative impact of health of human prints such as the increase level of
malnutrition’s. Lastly, increased air pollution has caused an increase in respiratory problems as
asthma and allergies have increased.
