Titel:                        Hållbarhetsredovisning i tre branscher: En komparativ innehållsanalys av nio svenska företags hållbarhetsrapporter

Handledare:            Esbjörn Segelod

Nyckelord:              Hållbarhetsredovisning, CSR, TBL, Signalteori, GRI, Intressenter,  Legitimitet

Frågeställning:       Hur framställer företag i branscherna telekommunikation, livsmedel och medicin sina hållbarhetsrapporter utifrån kravet på väsentlighet?

Syfte:                       Denna studie syftar till att analysera hållbarhetsrapporter utifrån vad företagen själva anser vara väsentligt, med fokus på signalteorin och andra kompletterande teorier. Detta genom att analysera hållbarhetsrapporter inom de tre branscherna telekommunikation, livsmedel och medicin.                 

Metod:                     En komparativ innehållsanalys av kvalitativ art, genom att jämföra olika hållbarhetsrapporter. Analysen gjordes på nio företag i tre olika branscher och utgick från litteraturstudier inom hållbarhetsområdet.

Slutsats:                   Det framkom inga markanta skillnader mellan de olika branscherna vad gäller deras hållbarhetsrapporter och vad de anser vara väsentligt att redovisa. Däremot upptäcktes mindre skillnader mellan företagen med samma branschtillhörighet, men generellt belystes samma komponenter i liknande utsträckning, det vill säga inom ekonomisk, social samt miljömässig hållbarhet.

This through a study of sustainability reports in the telecommunication, food, and medicine industries.

Method:                  A comparative content analysis in character of a qualitative method, through a comparison of sustainability reports. The analysis was applied to nine firms of three different business with a foundation of literature reviews in the sustainability field.

Conclusion:              The result showed no significant deviations between the different industries regarding their sustainability reports and what they consider essential to present. However, there were minor differences between the firms in the same industry, but generally they focused on the same components to a similar extent, which are financial, social, and environmental sustainability.
