1. Are Swedish stakeholders willing to protect nature?

Efforts have been made through voluntary commitments which have proven to be insufficient as targets are not met. LÄS MER
2. The Role of Transport Purchasing Companies in the Reduction of Freight Transport Emissions : The Opportunities and Barriers of Environmentally Friendly Freight Transport
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : The freight transport industry accounts for a large and, moreover, an increasing share of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this, previous studies point to the fact that freight transport purchasing companies (TPCs) do not take sufficient action to reduce emissions from the freight transports they buy. LÄS MER
3. Setting the scene: from voluntary to mandatory sustainability reporting in Korea
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutetSammanfattning : Sustainability Reporting (SR) has hitherto been discretionary in most Asian countries; however, a new paradigm – mandatory SR – is emerging in South Korea, provoked by the EU’s SR regulation, Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

VSS are being increasingly used because of their claims to address sustainability issues at the production stage, such as greenhouse gas emissions in production, biodiversity conservation, labor rights, worker’s wages, local pollution and good corporate governance.

5. Drivers for Reducing GHG Emissions from Purchased Freight Transports - Exploring if and how Science-Based Targets influence companies to manage Scope 3 emissions from freight transports
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutetSammanfattning : Despite that freight transports account for a notable and increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, previous studies have identified that buyers of freight transport services often do not engage sufficiently to reduce emissions from the freight transports they purchase. An aspect that has not been adequately investigated, however, is how transport purchasers are influenced by new potential drivers or facilitators, such as by adopting voluntary environmental agreements (VEA).
