Abstract:

The number of sustainability-related reporting frameworks has been increasing throughout the years, as a response to increasing awareness towards the sustainability-related issues from various stakeholders of companies. At the same time, major sustainability-related reporting frameworks publish more guides to support the business on its Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) commitment. For the business, it is challenging to use these guides in harmony to obtain the highest benefit for achieving corporate sustainability targets. The thesis aims to provide a structural approach and a robust al

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to explore a local organization’s adoption of global sustainability policy, in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Agenda is a response to global sustainability challenges which require action by international cooperation and actors on all levels. For such a policy to fulfill its purpose, means of implementation must be ensured. This study aims to answer both why and how a small organization located in Malmö, Sweden, has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals, and what it implies for its operatio

As a response to the ‘Grand Challenges’ of the 21st century such as climate change and social inequalities, the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), released by the United Nations in 2015, became a matter of urgency. The SDGs are a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aiming to cover an even broader scope of social, environmental and economic challenges. To ensure that the 2030 Agenda, represented by 17 goals and 169 underlying targets, becomes a positive force for all available resources have to act in concert.

Conspicuous consumption is a form of economic behaviour in which social pressure influences consumption decisions.

Combining this with research from sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, this paper suggests potential indicators of sustainable consumption te

An important outcome of a university business education is to shape individuals who are capable of working in and operating businesses that deliver economically profitable, socially responsible and ecologically viable services.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the transformative potential of grassroots movements for sustainability and thus asks how citizen-led initiatives can contribute the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda. In focus is the permaculture movement and its efforts to promote small-scale farming in balance with ecological systems and principles. The study draws upon an ethnographic study of the permaculture farm Kosters Trädgårdar, located on the west coast of Sweden. Through extended participant observation and four interviews with owners and workers at Kosters Trädgårdar, this thesis seeks to identify the transformative

Abstract:

Background: In a world that is constantly changing, where demands for working in a sustainable way regarding the environment and society are increasing, companies have no choice but to take these aspects into account. Companies can take responsibility through the three dimensions of sustainability: the economic, social and environmental dimensions, which is also referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility. Sustainability is therefore an inevitable topic of discussion. To cope with the challenges that is facing the world, UN member states agreed on Agenda 2030 on 25-27 of September 2015. Thi

Abstract:

In the early 1990s, the United Nations (UN) recognized water as a finite resource to the entire ecosystem with an economic value that should be developed and managed based on the participatory approach using the Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) strategy. Many studies on water management practices have thus emerged in the developing world. Of particular interest to this work is the management of water through metering, price-setting, and rule enforcement in the rural setting in piped, community-owned water systems. There is very little published information regarding metering, enforc

Abstract:

In recent years, much focus has been put on the sustainability of water and sanitation development projects. Experts in this field have found that many of the projects of the past have failed to achieve sustainability because of a lack of demand for water and sanitation interventions at a grassroots level. For years projects looked to create this demand through various subsidy schemes, with the "software" of behavior change and education taking a backseat to the "hardware" of infrastructure provision. Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is a fairly new way of looking at the issues of incr

Abstract:

Samhället står inför stora utmaningar att begränsa klimatpåverkan till hållbara nivåer både globalt och nationellt. Transportsektorns klimatpåverkan är stor och vägtrafikens utsläpp dominerar. Utmaningarna är stora även för att nå annan ekologisk och social hållbarhet, inte minst vad gäller städer. Forskningen pekar generellt på att strategier för att begränsa klimatpåverkan kan bidra till social och ekologisk hållbarhet både genom minskad klimatpåverkan och genom åtgärderna i sig. Utsläppen från vägtrafiken kan minskas genom ett transporteffektivt samhälle, energieffektivare fordon och förny
