"De högt hängande frukterna" : En studie av koldioxidskattens inverkan på skogsindustrin
Sammanfattning: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to investige how Swedish companies in the pulp- and paper industry are affected by the CO2 tax and how their perceived effects differs from the actual effects. The work includes interviews with employer representatives from six different companies. The respondents have been chosen based on their position in the company. Furthermore a pilot study was conducted with two interviews leading the study to the right direction. One of them was a tax expert at Skatteverket and the other one was an Energy Director at Skogsindustrierna. The questions asked were for example: “How do you work with sustainability issues”, “are your business affected by any special environmental taxes” and “what do you think about existing environmental regulations”. One of the conclusions turned out to be, that all of the companies are well informed about the sustainability issues. Most of the companies are also working with these issues on a high strategic level. Only one company thought that the Swedish taxation law affected their competitiveness. Another conclusion is that there is almost no complaints about different taxes and especially not the CO2 tax. One company complained however about the tax on NOx. Most of the investments have already been implemented or the technology is not sufficiently developed.
