Abstract [sv]

Företag är under en ökande press att ta ett ansvar gällande deras hållbarhetsarbete. För bostadsförvaltande bolag är den sociala aspekten viktig, speciellt i de områden där det råder segregation och andra problem. Forskningen inom detta område är inte särskilt utbredd då tidigare fokus framför allt varit på den ekonomiska och miljömässiga hållbarheten. Syftet med denna uppsats är därmed att öka förståelsen för hur svenska bostadsförvaltande bolag, både noterade och onoterade allmännyttiga, arbetar med social hållbarhet. Vidare ämnar uppsatsen att undersöka om det finns några skillnader mellan hur dessa olika typer av bolag arbetar med just den sociala delen av hållbarhet samt om hållbarhetsrapporten uppfyller de krav som finns specificerade i lagen. För att få ett svar på syftet har en kvalitativ dokumentstudie genomförts där hållbarhetsrapporter har granskats. Det har dock även funnits inslag av kvantitativ metod genom en undersökning av hur stor andel av rapporterna som behandlat den sociala hållbarheten. Insamlad empiriska data visar att bolagen arbetar liknande i många frågor, men att de allmännyttiga bolagen tenderar att rapportera om de vidtagna åtgärderna i större omfattning än de noterade bolagen. Samtliga bolag rapporterar dock mer än vad som krävs enligt lag.

Nyckelord: social hållbarhet, bostadsförvaltande bolag, hållbarhetsrapport

Abstract [en]

Companies are under increasing pressure to take responsibility for their work with sustainability. For rental property companies, the social aspect is important, especially in areas where there is segregation and other problems. Research in this area is not particularly widespread, as previous focus has been on economic and environmental sustainability. The purpose of this essay is therefore to increase the understanding of how Swedish rental property companies, both listed and unlisted public, work with social sustainability. Further, the essay intends to examine whether there were any differences between the different types of companies in how they work with the social part of sustainability and if the sustainability reports fulfil the requirement specified in the law. To achieve an answer to the purpose of the essay a qualitative document study has been carried out where sustainability reports have been studied. However, there have also been elements of a quantitative study through an investigation of the reported proportion on social sustainability. The collected empirical data showed that the companies work similarly in many matters, but that the unlisted public housing companies tend to report what measures they have taken to a greater extent than the listed companies. However, all companies report more than what is required by law.

Key words: social sustainability, rental property companies, sustainability report
