The continuous rise of e-commerce, driven by changing consumer behavior, has brought significant value to the supply chain. However, it also generates substantial waste through packaging, energy consumption, and vehicle usage. This research aims to mitigate the environmental impact of e-commerce by reducing its carbon footprint. A detailed green e-commerce model is proposed to lower environmental impacts, enhance economic performance, and improve competitiveness. Using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) discipline, activities are analyzed from cradle to grave, focusing on packaging, transportation, and disposal as primary sources of carbon emissions. In a case study, green strategies were implemented in key activities, demonstrating that reducing transportation distances and eliminating unnecessary packaging are critical to lowering carbon footprints. The study achieved a reduction of 0.1116 kg C[O.sub.2] equivalent per transaction, totaling 297,532 t C[O.sub.2] equivalent in 2023. This reduction equates to a carbon credit of 32 million THB and significant cost savings of 18 million THB by eliminating materials such as plastic bags, sleeves, and order receipts. Keywords: carbon footprint, e-commerce, environmental impact, green supply chain management, life cycle assessment, 1.

Purpose: This article investigates the multifaced issues confronting Malaysia's fintech industry, concentrating on a single case or organisation. The study topic revolved around the challenges faced by Pitchin Sdn Bhd in Malaysian fintech sectors. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses qualitative methods, involving in-depth interviews and a single-case study approach, to analyse the challenges that PitchIN Platforms Sdn Bhd experiences. Findings: The study revealed several challenges for PitchIN Platforms Sdn Bhd, such as societal awareness, trust, education, technological development, marketing, fintech platform provider experience, and rapid system development. The findings show that public awareness and the rapid speed of technological innovation in the financial sector are major barriers to developing and maintaining crowdfunding platforms. Research limitations/implications: This study focused on the challenges faced by a single fintech crowdfunding platform thus generalizability of the findings is limited, as each crowdfunding organisation may face unique challenges. Practical implications: The study's insights are valuable for stakeholders involved in fostering a competitive and sustainable ecosystem for Malaysia's fintech crowdfunding platforms. Policymakers can leverage the findings to enhance present legislation and create an ideal environment, while finance professionals and industry participants can obtain a greater understanding of these challenges, helping them to make informed decisions and manage resources more efficiently. Originality/value: This article extends the existing literature on fintech and crowdfunding challenges in Malaysia and serves as a foundation for future research. The extensive investigation of PitchIN Sdn Bhd's challenges provides useful insights for other crowdfunding platforms, assisting them to better address these issues and promote healthy competition among providers. Keywords: fintech, crowdfunding, challenges, single case study, Introduction The growth of fintech in the financial sector has become a notable trend, representing the most recent innovation spurred by rapid technological advancements.
