Does airlines’ eco-friendliness matter? Customer satisfaction towards an environmentally responsible airline
2022
The looming climate crisis requires an immediate response, also on an individual level. Consumers are being asked to reduce and replace their carbon-intensive consumption behaviors. One of the consumption behaviors with the largest impact is air travel. The growing awareness among consumers has led to the advent of flight shaming, which could seriously endanger airlines' existing business models. One way for airlines to respond to this threat is by becoming more eco-friendly. We therefore wanted to study whether the environmental responsibility of an airline could be positively associated with customer satisfaction and whether that could translate into more customer loyalty towards an eco-f…
Mathematical modelling of sustainable bioresidual concrete
2019
In the production of cement, which is the main component of concrete production, the process generates about 5% of the global carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, bioproduct and pulp mills produce signi_cant quantities of soda ash and bio-ash, which is still largely unused. In this paper we will introduce our study related to improving the environmental friendliness of concrete used in construction by utilizing pulp mill waste while its long-term durability and strength and porosity properties meet the goals set for construction. The project `sustainable bioresidual concrete' is on-going and only preliminary numerical results with measurements are presented here. peerReviewed
The significance of environmental responsibility on airline customers' intention to purchase
2015
Operating in an energy intensive industry, airlines’ environmental performance is under constant scrutiny of the regulators and authorities. By contrast, it seems that not many airlines have considered gaining competitive advantage in by differentiating as an environmentally responsible carrier. The commissioning company for this Master’s Thesis was Finnair, and the intention of this study was to find out whether factors related to environmental responsibility affect Swedish airline passengers’ intentions to purchase from an airline. In addition, the study intended to offer Finnair suggestions for a suitable sustainability marketing-mix that could be used to target the intended consumer seg…
Dry chlorination of spent nickel metal hydride battery waste for water leaching of battery metals and rare earth elements
2022
An efficient leaching process was developed for nickel, cobalt, and the rare earth elements (REEs) from spent nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery waste. The process involves dry chlorination with ammonium chloride in low temperature to produce water-soluble chlorinated compounds, followed by simple water leaching. The factors affecting the conversion and solubilization were studied, including the amount of ammonium chloride, residence time and temperature in dry chlorination, and solid to liquid ratio, time and temperature in water leaching. As a result, the dry chlorination process was found to produce ammonium and chloride containing products, depending on the temperature of the process: …
Green procurement in Kenyan hospitals : exploring the awareness and opportunities for Kenyan hospitals to implement green procurement
2015
The significance of having a positive environmental impact has rapidly been growing. More and more industries are beginning to identify and implement the ways in which they can be environmentally friendly. One such way is green procurement. In many developed countries where green public procurement is at the fore-front of procurement activities, many industries have implemented it, including the healthcare industry. In Kenya, a developing country in East Africa, sustainability is a well-known concept, with the country striving to achieve its Millennium Development Goals (of which certain goals on sustainability are included) by 2015. However, green procurement is not as widely developed as …
Ympäristötekijöiden käyttö kodintekniikka-alan yritysten markkinoinnissa Itäkeskuksen alueella : kvalitatiivinen tutkimus
2011
Tutkimuksen aiheena on ympäristötekijöiden käyttö kodintekniikkaa myyvien yritysten mainonnassa Helsingin Itäkeskuksen alueella. Aineistona käytetään yritysten sanomalehti- ja suorajakomainoksia ja niiden Internet-kotisivuja. Tutkimusote on kvalitatiivinen ja aineisto tyypitellään puolistrukturoidulla lomakkeella. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin selvittämään ympäristöargumenttien lisäksi sitä, ovatko yritykset siirtyneet perinteisen markkinointimixin keinoista kohti kokonaisvaltaisempaa ja enemmän kuluttajanäkökulmasta asioita tarkastelevaa markkinointinäkökulmaa. Teoriaosuudessa verrataan perinteistä markkinointiparadigmaa uudempaan normatiiviseen kestävän kehityksen markkinointiparadigmaan. Tutki…
