Insolvency proceedings from a sustainability perspective
No full textSustainability is a wide concept including environmental, economic, social/culture, and political dimensions. Currently, sustainability research is a rich scientific discipline producing a significant number of research papers. However, sustainability in the context of insolvency proceedings has attracted little research compared with, for example, how much attention corporate social responsibility has received in company law research. This article studies sustainability in the context of liquidation and restructuring proceedings and the preservation of different kinds of resources (natural, manufactured, human, and social capital) in insolvency procedures. The purpose of insolvency proceedings may prevent the full implementation of sustainability. In bankruptcy, the administrator must maximise the selling price for creditor satisfaction, and there are few possibilities to promote sustainability. When facing an acute environmental hazard, in the name of public interest, a bankruptcy estate with assets usually has to act unless the law stipulates that society is responsible for taking care of the problem. In restructuring proceedings, the main purpose is to continue the debtor's business. It depends on the markets how sustainable the debtor company must be to achieve profitability. If becoming a profitable company in a “green” or otherwise sustainable market requires costly efforts, creditors' interests may require the sale of the assets. The author views through sustainability lenses EU Restructuring and insolvency Directive (2019) and finds there is not much of a sustainability approach included.Peer reviewe

From the sources distributed and transported to local restaurants, then prepared, served, and eventually eaten by consumers, food is a significant part of Chengdu's culture. Eating is not only just about the food itself, but also about where to eat, how to eat, when to eat, whom to eat with. Culinary heritage is proposed to be conserved through the concept of ""tastescape"", which is planned as a combination of landscape and culture in which eating becomes a situated event. The design study focuses on the streets in historic neighborhoods in the inner city of Chengdu. The relationship between food, landscape and culture, and tastescape is proposed by combining eating with participating in theaters, local artworks, and cooking."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Linna Yi, accepted the attached license on 2016-07-21 at 14:46.The student, Linna Yi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-07-21 at 15:13.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-07-22 at 09:52.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10042 on 2016-11-10 at 12:27:36Embargo set by: Seth Robbins for item 95396

Linna- ja tööstusmaastike korralduse õppekavalOlulise keskkonda saastava probleemina näeb autor tänapäeval ühekordsete toidunõude
massilist tarvitamist toitlustuses. Ühekordne pakend, olenemata materjalist on siiski
ühekordne ressursi kasutus. Sooviga asendada ühekordsete toidukarpide kasutamine
toitlustuses, korduvkasutatavate karpide ringlusega, on kirjutatud ka valminud töö.
Magistritöö eesmärgiks on välja selgitada tarbija valmidust muuta oma
käitumisharjumusi ja ettevõtete poolset valmidust keskkonnasäästlikumate lahenduste
loomisel.
Metoodika valikul ja küsimuste koostamisel lähtus autor vajadusest kaardistada nii
tarbijapoolne nägemus kui ka ettevõtte poolt pakutav lahendus. Sellest tingituna
kombineeris autor kvantitatiivse struktureeritud küsitluse tarbijatele, millele järgnes
poolstruktureeritud süvaintervjuu ettevõttega Topsiring ning lisaks ka struktureeritud eposti teel läbi viidud intervjuu ettevõttega Wolt.
Kokku vastas tarbijale suunatud küsimustikule 306 isikut. Küsimustiku ning intervjuude
tulemustest oli võimalik järeldada tarbija valmidust kasutada alternatiivi kui see on tema
jaoks mugav ja ei tekita talle liialt lisakohustusi. Murekohana võib siiski välja tuua, et
keskkonnasäästlikum lahendus on tihtipeale kallim kui laialt levinud ühekordne pakend.
Teine oluline mõtlemiskoht on inimeste teadlikkus alternatiivist. Ligi 50% vastanuist
eelistavad biolagunevat pakendit. Nagu töö teoreetilises osas märgitud, pole see aga
mitte kõige keskkonnasõbralikum variant. Siinkohal peab autor just oluliseks tarbija
teadlikkuse tõstmist ühekordse ressursi kasutamisel. Toetudes nii teoreetilisele osale
tööst, kui ka läbiviidud uurimusele leiab töö autor, et ühekordsete toidukarpideAuthor sees massive usage of single-use packages as an important problem as it is
polluting environment. Single-use package despite the material, is still single use resource.
Wishing to replace single-use food containers in take-out food industry, has author written
this thesis.
The purpose for these thesis is to figure out the consumer readiness to choose
environmentally friendly alternative and the role of corporate social responsibility in
designing the product.
As choosing the method and questions author proceeded from the need to map the
consumers point of view as well the alternative provided by company. According the
necessary input, author combined the quantitative questionnaire towards consumers and
structured interviews with companies Topsiring and Wolt.
Survey gathered 306 responses. The results from questionnaire and interviews indicates
consumer willingness to choose the better alternative in case if it is convenient and
acceptable. One concern to be noted, is that alternative option may often be more
expensive than widely uses single-use option. Second important note is the overall
knowledge and awareness about environmentally friendly alternatives. About 50% of
consumers prefer biodegradable single use packaging. Like mentioned in the theoretical
part of these thesis, biodegradable option is not the most eco friendly alternative.
Therefore author considered it to be important to raise the consumers awareness in singleuse resource use. Based on the theoretical part of the thesis and the results of the survey,
author sees the possibility to use reusable food containers as circular economy business
model to replace the single-use containers
