EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF MAN WORKING HOURS ON ORGANIZATIONAL CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO JAY JAY MILLS LANKA (PVT) LTD-PLANT D4, AVISSAWELLA

Abstract

Jay Jay Mills Lanka (Pvt) Ltd-plant D4, which is located in Colombo district, also serves the national economy by its production exporting process. This study is expected to calculate the organizational carbon footprint of Jay Jay Mills Lanka (Pvt) Ltd as the research outcome. Apart from that, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of man working hours on Jay Jay Mills Lanka (Pvt) Ltd's carbon footprint. The Green House Gas (GHG) protocol was used to calculate the organization's carbon footprint for 2020, taking into account three different emission scopes. Scope 1 refers to direct GHG emissions, scope two refers to indirect GHG emissions, and scope 3 refers to other indirect GHG emissions. Estimating emissions data was gathered using power consumption reports, production analysis reports, and other sources. Then, using DEFRA and grid electrical emission factors, the obtained data was translated into CO2 concentrations. The data was then presented using bar charts, pie charts, tables, and figures, among other things. This study was also analyzed using correlation and regression analysis to find the impact of man working hours on carbon footprint. The total carbon footprint calculated for scopes 1, 2, and 3 was 16 percent, 61 percent, and 23 percent, respectively. With a total carbon footprint of 455391KgCO2e, Scope two emissions were the most significant contributor to the total carbon footprint.By Introducing effective programs to reduce carbon emissions and drawing senior management's attention to the usage of renewable energy sources to reduce these massive GHG emissions. Environmentally friendly approaches are also critical in addressing this issue
