Abstract [sv]

Flertalet tidigare studier inriktar sig på vilka bakomliggande faktorer och motiv som påverkar upprättandet av ett ESG-betyg. Det är sedan tidigare konstaterat att faktorer som land, bransch och lönsamhet kan påverka graden av hållbarhetsrapportering. För att bidra ytterligare till detta resonemang väljer studien att kategorisera fyra variabler som tänkbara hållbarhetsstrategier. Tidigare forskning styrker resonemanget att företag väljer att CSR-redovisa baserat på fler faktorer än miljömedvetenhet. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hållbarhetsstrategiers potentiella implementering efter miljökontroverser samt dess effekter på ESG-betygets miljödimension.

Abstract [en]

Most previous studies focus on the underlying factors and motives that influence the establishment of an ESG score. It has previously been established that factors such as country, industry and profitability can affect the degree of sustainability reporting. To further contribute to this reasoning, the study chooses to categorize four variables as possible sustainability strategies. Previous research supports the reasoning that companies choose to report CSR based on more factors than environmental awareness. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential implementation of sustainability strategies after environmental controversies and their effects on the environmental dimension of the ESG rating.
