Повний текст джерелаBased on increased pressure on the part of different stakeholders, changed expectations on social issues as well as political frameworks, corporate social responsibility (CSR) gains more importance within the whole process of value add. Social responsibility extends the limits of the focal enterprise and includes the whole supply chain. The purchasing function is responsible for the important task (within the value add process) to source goods and services from third parties, the suppliers. Often production partners in emerging countries follow different legal and social standards. In order to compensate missing legal requirements and standardized norms, large MNE need to regularly supervise their supply base and secure CSR by themselves. This doctoral thesis aims to investigate the necessity of the integration of CSR as evaluation criterion in existing processes, with the result to be able to evaluate suitable suppliers for strategic relationships. Therefore based on expert interviews the method „CSR-IndexSA“ is being developed. This CSR-IndexSA allows the suppliers’ evaluation with a self assessment. The method is being proved for its reliability and is being adopted in a large scale empirical study involving numerous suppliers. The broad statistical analysis of existing evaluation criteria and processes with the measured suppliers’ CSR performance shows the need of the integration of CSR as independent criterion within the supplier evaluation process. The effects on existing processes are proven to be minor. Those results point to further relations between the “classical” criteria for evaluation and various CSR dimensions (e.g. environmental management) and give advice for an improved supplier evaluation. Furthermore CSR risk factors such as company size or region can be identified through the empirical survey. Long-term partnerships mean an increasingly important success factor in customer supplier relationships. The survey’s results show also that those suppliers who value a strategic relationship as important also have a high rating regarding CSR performance

Повний текст джерелаI dagsläget finns det ingen enhetlig definition för vad en etisk fond är. Fondbolagen väljer själva vad de anser är etiskt och inte. Den uteblivna definitionen gör det svårt för konsumenter att förstå vad som utmärker just de här fonderna, gentemot andra. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka tre svenska företag, KPA Pension, Swedbank Robur och Folksam, för att på så sätt få en klarare bild av etiska fonder och dess definition. Studien beskriver vad de olika företagen har för syn på etik och hur de kan påverka de företag de är delägare i. Uppsatsen kommer även att diskutera hur fondbolagen kan få en bra balans mellan etik och avkastning. Studien bygger på intervjuer med personer som arbetar med Corporate Social Responsibility och ansvarsfulla investeringar. Resultatet tyder på att företagen själva har svårt att definiera vad en etisk fond är, men att de alla anser att de har en bra chans att påverka de olika företagen. Forskningen angående etiska fonder och dess avkastning har visat olika resultat. Vilket gör det svårt att bestämma om etik och avkastning går hand i hand eller om etiska fonder istället medför en mindre risk, med en mindre avkastning.

Повний текст джерелаWith the globalization Businesses are getting a lot of power and they are more influence companies in the society than before. Business malpractices have the potential to inflict enormous harm on individual, communities, and the environment; the demands from all stakeholders to be a business to behave ethically greatly have been increased at this time. Moreover, ethical infractions and abuses of power are presented in business and affect the corporations reputation and as well as societies. There are needs to be a call for responsible and sustainable corporate behaviour. This corporate behaviour can create a competitive advantage and will generate value, social and economical value. This thesis will be presented such an alternative approach. This thesis presents an approach of the new paradigm. It is an integration of the 3 dimensions: ethical, corporate social responsibility and sustainability that generate social and economical value. The social value is for present and future generations: when corporations are helping development communities, poverty reductions, increased standards of life and education, increasing the work conditions and possibilities of employ’s companies, communities and other stakeholders. Economical value has many benefits to a corporation such as: decrease reputation risk; access the competitions of financial market, fidelity with customers and employees, increase firm’s reputations, reductions of cost and others. This research will try to answer some questions such as: what is the business of business and what is its social responsibility? How this responsibility is applied in the field of finance? How this corporate social responsibility is measured? And does this CSR affects the share price value of a company? The methodology used is a review of literature about Business ethics, CSR, SRI, ethical rating, sustainable reports, model market, and events studies. A case study of the Italian Insurance Company: Generali Group is presented. In this case study, it will be analyzed: (1) The Generali ethical, CSR and sustainable compromise – The integration of these three dimensions- and (2) how this information on CSR affects Generali Insurance’s share price value. In order to measure the effects of the three dimensions –ethical/CSR/sustainable in share price, it is conducted an event study, which measure change in share prices based on the announcement of events. In that way, it is possible to determine if share prices that reflect firm’s financial performance are affected by public information of ethical, environmental, social and economical performance. Particularly, it will be measured the effect of Ethical/CSR/sustainable events of the Generali Group Insurance group in its share prices. Moreover, for this reach, it was consulted available information on the web side and sustainable reports regarding to Generali Group ethical/CSR/sustainable compromise. Additionally some informal meetings were taken place with, the Director of Sustainable Department in Generali Insurance Company in Trieste, Marina Donnato in order to clarify several issues The conclusion of this research is that the business of business is to be ethically, CSR and sustainable. It can be extrapolated to sustainable finance; in this way business will generate social value and economically value. The economical value is a consequence of the social value generation. In the long term, social and economically value will converge. Moreover, in the finance field this integration of ethical, CSR and sustainable is necessary: for instance Social responsible investments (SRI) and social finance - micro credits focus on satisfactions of stakeholders. Other conclusion is that Generali is an Insurance company with high standards in ethical, Corporate Social responsibility and sustainability and big social concerns. It is very difficult to generalize about the relationship between CSR and profitability. Ethical/CSR/sustainable is consistently with the long term maximization shareholder value because for a company acting CSR represents a significant value for investors, company can be perceived as an ethical, CSR, sustainable. It perceptions affects positively his reputation more in the lung term. In the short time it is less impacted. The analysis using events studies methods and model market showed that ethical/CSR/sustainable news about Generali Events that not generate very significant abnormal returns different from zero. However some of these were positive. It could be interpreted as the market is responding positively to the news of ethical/CSR/suitable issues. But also it could be that investors are not very well informed about ethical/CSR/Sustainability and in SRI. However the ethical/CSR/sustainable compromise generates more value in the run term because of company reputation, and other benefits as employee and customer’s fidelity. Other conclusion is a way to measure CSR is using ethical rating. This document present an introductory part, Chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives a framework of the ethical issues of corporation’s operations and covers the following topics: MNCs Business ethics and Social responsibility, business ethics, mainly the debates made by Hoffman, which is related to ethical dimensions of the making decisions in a framework of business operation’s ethics systems, The topic of corporations operating in third world countries general overview, and General Standards of Behavior -Code of Principles and MNCs. It is important to clarify that the values and principles in Corporation, Medium, and small enterprises, the ethical principles, values and ethics are referring to same aspects, (human rights, environmental, social, economical aspects). But in this research only the ethical approach for Corporations will be considered. Chapter 3 presents the analysis about: what does it mean corporate social responsibility (CSR)? what is the responsibility of the business?, For this scope, the chapter covers the following aspects such as: The meaning of corporate social responsibility, the concept of CSR based on the definition of the space between the law and social expectation, the expectation of stakeholders and incorporating of identity in the sustainability strategy CSR, the evolution of the concept, the traditional ideology and modern ideology of CSR and why the concept is changing, corporate social responsibility benefits, corporate social responsibility international perspective. In Chapter 4, it is analyzed the following issues: why the finance a new paradigm is necessary, what ethical finance it about, based on concepts such as CSR/SRI and ethical sustainable finance focus in two levels: Macro level and Micro level. The Macro level is focus to the topic of (1) Social Responsible Investments -definitions, growing, background, some trends and so on- Sustainability. Other areas and instruments of ethical finance in a macro level are presented such as: (2) Ethics /CSR and financial sectors, Sustainable index (stock exchanges), (3) Cleantech Venture capital, (4) Financial services, (5) Institutional investors, (6) International institution will be analized. The Micro level make reference to the (7) Social Finance and (8) micro credit issues: In chapter 5, It is analyzed how social responsibility is measured and monitored. In addition, some other topic such as: CSR and ethics rating agencies, ethics rating methodologies, rating agencies in practicing are discussed. Chapter 6, It is discussed how the Generali insurance company presents his CSR/ sustainable compromises. This chapter defines the event to measure the CSR impact on the company value (share value in the short time). Some aspects of Generali Code ethics, values, strategy, CSR initiative (information included in CSR reports and websites) are analyzed. In Chapter 7, an analysis is carried out to verify if the share prices that reflect firm’s financial performance are affected by public information of environmental, social and economical performance. In order to measure the effects of CSR on share price, an event study is carried out which measures changes in share prices based on the announcement of events. Particularly, it will be measure the effect of CSR’s events of the Generali Group Insurance group in its share prices. Finally, conclusions, suggestion- recommendations and issues of further research are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаUppfattningar om företags samhällsansvar har begreppsliggjorts i huvudsak genom idéer om ’corporate social responsibility’ (CSR) och ’ansvarsfulla investeringar’. Under de senaste decennierna har dessa begrepp utvecklats till att bli vanligt förkommande och har spridits över världen. Som globala koncept medför de en gemensam uppsättning av idéer och metoder, såsom de som förs fram i internationella standarder för företags CSR rapportering, och utav internationella organisationer såsom FN:s Global Compact. Ändå skiljer de sig åt mellan olika kontexter och är konstruerade och återges av företag i förhållande till sociala sammanhang. Begreppen ges mening i relation till sociala institutioner i form av normer och konventioner som redan omger företag och sociala frågor. Baserat på nyinstitutionell teori undersöker avhandlingen konstruktioner av samhällsansvar och ansvarstagande, i diskurs och i institutionella sammanhang, över regioner som inte ofta jämförs i forskningen kring skillnader i företags samhällsansvar: två Västeuropeiska välfärdsstater (Sverige och Storbritannien) och två tillväxtekonomier i södra Afrika (Sydafrika och Mauritius). Syftet med avhandlingen är att bidra till litteraturen kring CSR och ansvarsfulla investeringar med ett sociologiskt perspektiv som är jämförande och för samman institutionell teori med social konstruktionism och Foucaults perspektiv på makt. Avhandlingen analyserar hur föreställningar om CSR och ansvarsfulla investeringar konstrueras i förhållande till de sociala institutioner som omger företags engagemang i samhällsfrågor, och belyser speciellt vikten av samhällets välfärdssystem och konventioner kring finansiella investeringar som betydelsefulla för dessa begrepp. Huvudargumentet i denna avhandling är att CSR och ansvarsfulla investeringar måste ses som kontextuellt skapade, i diskurs och praxis, på ett sätt som drar gränserna och skapar förutsättningarna för företags engagemang i samhällsfrågor. Avhandlingen omfattar tre artiklar. Artikel 1 är en innehållsanalys av företags självrapportering om CSR och artikeln undersöker hur innehållet som ges till CSR i självrapporteringen relaterar till hur samhället i övrigt hanterar välfärd och sociala frågor. Artikeln visar på hur CSR på så sätt skiljer sig åt mellan fyra olika länder där två är tillväxtekonomier i södra Afrika och två är Västeuropeiska välfärdsstater. Artikel 2 är en diskursanalys som undersöker språkliga repertoarer (interpretative repertoires) som förekommer i företags självrapportering om CSR, i samma uppsättning av fyra länder. Repertoarerna analyseras som tillämpandet av diskurs och de synliggör hur makt är av betydelse i skapandet av diskurser kring CSR. Artikel 3 fokuserar på ansvarfulla investeringar och undersöker detta som en form av aktivt skapande och återskapande av samhällsinstitutioner. Baserat på en intervjustudie med institutionella investerare i Sverige analyseras ansvarfullt investerande som en process som på samma gång innebär både skapande av en ny social institution, ansvarsfulla investeringar, och återskapande av en existerande institution, finansiella investeringar. Skapandet av nya idéer inom ramarna för en existerande institution påverkar innebörden i ansvarsfulla investeringar. I sin helhet bidrar avhandlingen med ett sociologiskt perspektiv på hur uppfattningar om företags samhällsansvar skapas och återskapas.

Jonsson, Carolina, Madeleine Jakobsson, and Martin Johansson. "Eco-labels: input or outcome of CSR? : A study made on three companies." Thesis, Jönköping University, JIBS, Business Administration, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-6.
Повний текст джерелаProblem: The increased environmental awareness among people as well as businesses has led to the development of new concepts such as sustainable development and environ-mental marketing. One way of practising environmental marketing, which is based on the three principles social responsibility, holism and sustainability, is to use eco-labels on prod-ucts and services. Many companies see the usage of eco-labels as a means to gain competi-tive advantage. The number of eco-labelled products and services constantly increases, but does it mean that the number of companies practising corporate social responsibility also increases? The thesis strives to find out how a company through the usage of eco-labels contributes to a sustainable society by practising environmental marketing and thus social responsibility. The more specific purpose of this thesis is to:
Explore the relationship between the usage of eco-labels on products and services and the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) within three different companies.
Method: A qualitative research approach was applied. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with the responsible of environmental/sustainability questions of three different companies (Scandic, Arla Foods and JC) and with the representatives within information/PR from two third party organisations (the Nordic Swan and KRAV).
Results: We have drawn the conclusion that in order to have CSR incorporated within the organisation of the company, there is a need to have a balance between the different di-mensions (economic, environmental and social) of the company. The company also needs to take responsibilities that go beyond economic, legal, and ethical responsibilities. Scandic and Arla Foods have CSR fully incorporated within their organisations. JC have an imbal-ance between the different dimensions and have therefore not fully incorporated CSR. When it comes to the relationship between the eco-label and CSR, we can conclude that for the explored companies the relationship is dependent on the environmental philosophy and the environmental culture of the company having the eco-label. Scandic and Arla Foods have strong environmental cultures and their eco-labellings are seen as being the output of their CSR. JC do not have such a strong environmental culture and their eco-labelling is seen as the input of CSR. Third party organisations play an important role for CSR within the explored companies, both for the development and for the continuous im-provements of CSR. Third party organisations emphasise the development of CSR when the eco-label is seen as being the input of CSR, as in the case of JC. When the eco-label is seen as the outcome, as for Scandic and Arla Foods, the third party organisations help the companies to make continuous improvements.
Problem: Den ökade medvetenheten hos människor såväl som hos företag när det kom-mer till miljöfrågor har bidragit till att nya koncept som till exempel hållbar utveckling och grön marknadsföring har uppkommit. Grön marknadsföring bygger på de tre principerna: socialt ansvarstagande, holism och hållbarhet. Ett sätt att tillämpa grön marknadsföring är att använda miljömärkningar på varor och tjänster. Användandet av miljömärkningar ses som en konkurrensfördel av många företag och antalet miljömärkta varor och tjänster ökar konstant. Betyder detta att även antalet företag som tar ett samhällsansvar ökar? Denna uppsats söker ta reda på hur ett företag med hjälp av miljömärkningar bidrar till ett hållbart samhälle genom tillämpning av grön marknadsföring och därmed också socialt ansvarsta-gande. Det mer specifika syftet med den här uppsatsen är att:
Undersöka förhållandet mellan användandet av miljömärkningar på varor och tjänster och tillämpningen av företagens samhällsansvar (CSR) i tre olika företag.
Metod: En kvalitativ undersökningsmetod tillämpades. Data samlades in genom sex styck-en semistrukturerade intervjuer med de ansvariga inom miljö- och hållbarhetsfrågor på tre olika företag (Scandic, Arla Foods och JC) och med informatörerna från två tredjeparts or-ganisationer (Svanen och KRAV).
Resultat: Vi har kommit till slutsatsen att det måste finnas en balans mellan de olika di-mensionerna (ekonomiska, sociala och miljö) inom företaget för att CSR ska vara inkorpo-rerat i dess organisation. Företaget måste också ta ett ansvar utöver de ekonomiska, lagliga och etiska ansvar som företag har. Scandic och Arla Foods har fullt ut inkorporerat CSR i sina organisationer. JC har en obalans mellan de olika dimensionerna och har därför inte fullt ut inkorporerat CSR. När det kommer till förhållandet mellan miljömärkningen och CSR hos de undersökta företagen, har vi dragit slutsatsen att detta förhållande är beroende på miljöfilosofin och miljökulturen hos företaget som har miljömärkningen. Scandic och Arla Foods har starka miljökulturer och deras miljömärkningar ses som ett resultat av deras CSR. JC har inte någon stark miljökultur och deras miljömärkning ses som ett bidrag till CSR. Tredje parts organisationer spelar en viktig roll både för utvecklandet och för det kontinuerliga förbättrandet av CSR inom de undersökta företagen. När miljömärkningen ses som ett bidrag till CSR, som i fallet med JC, fokuseras tredje parts organisationers infly-tande på utvecklandet av CSR. När miljömärkningen ses som ett resultat av CSR, som hos Scandic och Arla Foods, hjälper tredje parts organisationer företagen att göra kontinuerliga förbättringar.

Повний текст джерелаCorporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a global trend in different countries with diverse policy, culture, and CSR perspective and development level. Thus, we want to analysis CSR in different business environments and find out the gap they have. That is the original idea of our research.
This research mainly locates in Sweden and China, by comparing the temporal CSR development in a Swedish and a Chinese company—Sandvik and State Grid Corporation of China, the former as the advanced pioneer, and the latter as the dynamic learner, to gain an insight of the adaptability and feasibility of CSR in different business environments and countries.
The thesis is based on case study and interview, and literature review. The method content analysis is applied when processing the data into figures. Besides, the 3C-SR model and Responsible Competitiveness Index (RCI) are adopted as the analysis model.
The findings show that CSR is adaptable and feasible in whatever countries and business environments. Also, its core value and regulate guidelines are not changed, but the focal point in each stage of implementation will vary. In fact, CSR is not the ultimate goal, it’s a formula for transforming Responsible Competitiveness to a soft competence, lending the company to achieve sustainability. After the study, some recommendations and further study questions are given.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation examines the relations between Corporate Social Responsibility and financial risk, with a particular focus on their interactions. It proposes a conceptual scheme of these relations and 4 empirical studies. The first study examines the relation between the corporate social performance, measured by Vigeo scores, and the financial risk of 554 companies pertaining to the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, from 2004-2011. It shows that companies with higher corporate responsibility have lower specific and total risks, and lower volatility of return on assets (Roa), particularly in human resources. The relation is positive and strong when we consider the investments' beta and the analysts' forecasts dispersion. The second study examines the reaction of the European stock market to CSR alerts. It examines the alerts' informational contribution compared to the public announce¬ments of the triggering events. Based on a sample of 480 alerts released by Vigeo over the period 2004-2011, we find a positive stock market reaction to the first alert for the affected company. The alert reduces the information asymmetry between managers and investors. It limits the investors' estimation risk and thus their uncertainty. Environmental alerts are a specific case, as they affect negatively the stock prices. The third study tests and confirms the risk management theory: when a CSR risk occurs (referenced by Vigeo), higher CSR performers have lower abnormal returns and lower abnormal trading volumes. The fourth study examines the interaction between financial risk and CSR commitment. It goes beyond Europe by considering 23,194 Asset4 scores related to 3,787 companies in 67 countries. It shows that prior aggregate ESG scores are associated with reduced subsequent specific and total risks and Roa volatility, thus confirming that high ESG performers have lower financial risk. CSR performances are positively associated with the risk if we consider the investments' beta and the analysts' forecasts dispersion. The study evidences a virtuous cycle between financial risk and ESG performance. Social and governance performances contribute more significantly to reduce this risk. Prior low financial risks incite firms to invest in CSR, first in environmental and governance, then in social policies or activities.Keywords: Financial risk, corporate social responsibility, corporate social performance, corporate social responsibility risk, interaction

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis examines the impact of socially responsible investment on the risk and performance of portfolios. It is based on four studies, including three empirical studies.The first study proposes an inventory and a critical analysis of the portfolios' CSR risks. It indicates that CSR risks assessed in different ways by the actors still exist within the portfolios and evolve with the institutional context. Their level may be low or high depending on the CSR practices of the companies in which the resources are invested. The second study deals with the comparative analysis of the financial risk of SRI funds and conventional funds. On a sample of funds distributed in France over the period 2002-2012, our results show that SRI funds may have a higher level of diversification than matched conventional matched regardless of market conditions. These are SRI funds invested in the Eurozone and globally. However, regardless of market conditions, SRI funds invested in the Eurozone, Europe and France have a greater systematic risk than their traditional counterparts, contrary to SRI global funds. The third study analyzes the financial risk of portfolios built according to companies’ level of ESG performance over the period 2002-2014. These portfolios cover the Eurozone and the U.S. firms. Our analysis shows that the U.S. portfolios which over-perform on the aggregate ESG criteria or individually on the three ESG criteria have a lower financial risk than those that underperform on these dimensions. For the same types of portfolios, the Eurozone exhibit a lower specific risk. The results on the systematic risk are influenced by the industry-specific effects for the U.S. portfolios and the country-specific effects for the Eurozone portfolios. The fourth study examines the financial performance persistence of SRI and conventional funds. It shows through non-parametric tests that there is no performance persistence for both SRI and conventional funds

Повний текст джерелаIn relations with the rising concerns on sustainable development and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sustainability-related topics have become a key trend in the real estate sector. This dissertation examines sustainable real estate, and investigates more particularly the value it holds for various stakeholders. Each of the five chapters focuses on different market players to analyse how sustainability-related topics are perceived, and the extent to which these perceptions shape practices. Chapter 1 questions the notion of value associated with sustainability-related features at a building level. Chapter 2 examines the value creation strategies associated with sustainability-related topics at corporate level. Chapters 3 and 4 focus respectively on the diffusion of sustainability certification schemes, and occupiers’ perceptions of their brand value. Chapter 5 explores the impacts of sustainability-related trends on the long term management of the building stock

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis explains and clarifies the ways in which responsible performance can increase financial performance for investors. Based on data gathered between 1992 and 2012 and a state-of-the-art KLD scoring system, we demonstrate that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) does not consistently increase the performance of a share portfolio. CSR, when proactively implemented, proves to be a cost granted by investors concerned about their ethical models. Depending on the sector observed, restrictions on irresponsible acts can however improve financial performance. Our research highlights the importance of selecting portfolio assets beforehand. We found that CSR strategies improve financial performance provided that some criteria which restrict managerial opportunism. Our multi-criteria analysis revealed that the expenditure of responsibility is a result of excess cash flow. The weighted average cost of the debt will determine the effectiveness of these strategies on the company's profitability. Finally, we highlight discrepancies in Corporate Social Responsibility reports, according to the ethical level and financial performance of each company. These lexical fields inform the investor of managers’ intentions and hence, allow a better selection of the assets

Повний текст джерелаThe financial crisis of 2007-2008 incited many criticisms of financial institutions, especially their policies and ethics. In response, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased in European and American financial industries. This increase is stimulated by both consumer demand and regulatory pressure. However, there are major differences in CSR between European and American markets, differences which indicate important market trends but are little studied. This study examines the differences in CSR behaviour between the financial industries of those two regions, and investigates what relationship, if any, exists between CSR behaviour and financial performance. This research analyses different CSR rating methodologies. An analysis of CSR rating methodologies and studies reveals a significant difference in CSR behaviour between European and American markets. The European financial industry shows a faster increase in CSR behaviour in comparison to their counterparts in the United States of America (US), enlarging the difference in CSR behaviour between the two. The results demonstrate a transformation from a positive toward a negative correlation between CSR behaviour and financial performance for the years 2009-2012, inclusive. The CSR measurement framework described by Scholtens (2008) is found to have significant correlations with other CSR rating agencies, thereby restraining its added value. Ultimately, these results affirm the importance of measuring CSR behaviour to better understand differences in the influence of CSR in the financial industry and wider differences between European and American markets.

Повний текст джерелаBakgrund: Både varumärken och CSR har blivit större på marknaden idag samtidigt som konsumenterna har blivit mer medvetna om hur företagen bedriver sin affärsverksamhet. Företagen måste då anpassa sin affärsverksamhet och skapa ett CSR-program. Problemformulering: Eftersom CSR nästan har blivit ett krav på ett företag och deras varumärke så anser vi det intressant att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar valet av CSR-program samt hur företagen använder dessa program strategiskt. Frågeställningar: Vilka faktorer samt intressenter påverkar valet av ett företags filantropiska CSR? Hur arbetar företag med att differentiera/positionera varumärket genom sitt filantropiska CSR-program? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka bakomliggande faktorer som påverkar företags val av CSR-program samt hur de använder sina filantropiska CSR-program för att positionera/differentiera sitt varumärke. Metod: Studien utgår utifrån en kvalitativ metod där primärdata har samlats in utifrån intervjuer. Respondenterna har varit diverse anställda hos de två undersökta bolagen, Folksam och Skandia. Primärdata har sedan analyserats gentemot studiens sekundärdata vilken innefattar den tidigare forskningens teorier angående hur företag väljer CSR, vilka faktorer som spelar in, samt hur de kan använda sin CSR för att differentiera samt positionera sitt varumärke. Slutsats: Skandia och Folksam skiljer sig i både val av CSR program, bakomliggande faktorer samt hur de använder sig av deras filantropiska CSR-program strategiskt. Skandias val av filantropisk CSR har påverkats huvudsakligen av externa faktorer medan Folksam har påverkats av interna faktorer. Studien har även visat att Skandia använder sin filantropiska CSR för att såväl differentiering som positionering medan Folksam istället använder annan form av CSR för att göra detta.

Повний текст джерелаOur thesis examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how it is linked to a firm’s economic and financial performance, as well as socially responsible investment (SRI). With the current environmental and economic uncertainty, these issues are attracting increasing interest. Our thesis is organized in four chapters. Chapter 1 is a literature review on CSR and SRI. We propose an interdisciplinary review of the academic literature in both economics and management sciences (ethics applied to business, strategy and finance). Chapter 2 is an empirical analysis of the relationship between CSR and a firm’s financial performance in terms of cost of capital. We look at the impact of publishing an evaluation of the firm’s involvement in CSR on the liquidity of its stocks and the size of its investor base. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are analyses of the characteristics of SRI portfolios built according to new allocation methodologies. We analyze how risk-based allocations impact the performance of the portfolios of financial products of issuers involved in CSR, and reciprocally, how a universe of investment composed of the financial products of issuers involved in CSR impacts the properties of these alternative allocations

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Today, most companies have recognized the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and regularly communicating the work with stakeholders. Since CSR lacks a uniform definition and thus also a uniform model to work for, it creates uncertainties about the purpose of the work. Companies who only do symbolic actions to be perceived as good citizens of the community can then use CSR as PR. It can therefore be questioned how well CSR is integrated into the core business. However, it has been an increasing number of legal requirements and standards in the area, potentially creating a clearer framework but also another approach. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain a greater understanding of CSR as a concept and then see how companies work to integrate CSR into core business and why. The study also looks at the impact of increased regulation, to see if views on CSR have changed. Method: The study has primarily a qualitative research strategy with a deductive approach that stands on previous studies. The companies studied are Lammhult Design Group AB and Electra AB. As a data collection method, I have conducted semi-structured interviews with responsible managers, but also a staff survey. I have also used the homepages websites and annual and sustainability reports. Outcome and conclusion: It is not as important to find a unified definition of CSR in today's society. The concept of CSR has been replaced by sustainability, which is considered as a broader term. Furthermore, it is a slow process of integrating CSR into core business, where internal voice, education, routines and information are of particular importance. By maintaining sustainability at the forefront companies can avoid pressure such as legal requirements.

Повний текст джерелаAnsvarsfullt företagande är något som tar allt större och viktigare plats bland företagen och ett begrepp som förknippas med detta är Corporate social responsibility. Det är ett samlingsnamn för ansvaret företagen förväntas ta av samhället, där bland att ta hänsyn till arbetsvillkor för medarbetare och miljöpåverkan. Följande arbete avser att undersöka hur företag som återfinns bland Sveriges topp 20 mest hållbara företaget lista arbetar med Corporate social responsibility (CSR). Syftet med arbetet är att förstå hur företagen arbetar med CSR och detta genom att analysera och jämföra företagen Systembolaget, Ikea och Stena recycling som alla finns bland topp 20 mest hållbara företagen i Sverige år 2020. Genom relevanta teori har vi format en intervjuguide som underlag för datainsamlingen. Totalt sett intervjuades tre respondenter där alla hade en tongivande roll i företagens ansvarstagande. Med en intervjuguide baserad på de fyra aspekter av CSR ekonomiskt, socialt, miljö och etisk har en data samlats in. Genom en induktiv ansats har vi dragit slutsatser i relation till teori och litteratur. Sedan genom analys av empirisk data har förståelse skapats i hur företagen jobbar med CSR och hur de förhåller sig till teorierna. Resultat av intervjuerna visade att företagens arbetar med CSR och vad det gäller de olika aspekterna om CSR finns det likheter och skillnader mellan företagen. En gemensam nämnare för alla företagen är det på CSR i allmänhet. De anser att ansvarstagande är en del av att styra ett företag då företagen är del av samhället och har ett stort inflytande. Vidare vill företagen anses vara legitima och tar då ansvar för sina handlingar.

Повний текст джерелаProblem discussion: The authors have not identified research on CSR strategy based on a departmental perspective. The knowledge gap that the study examines is therefore the business departments' driving forces to work with CSR, similarities and differences between departments' CSR work and how they are coordinated. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to investigate how the departments' CSR work supports the integration of the company's overall CSR strategy. Research questions: What driving forces contribute to the departments' work with CSR? How do each department carry out its CSR work and what similarities and differences are there? How is CSR work coordinated between departments? Conclusion: To do the right things in the right department and to do different CSR activities according to the business department is effective according to the authors. Coordination between them is needed and for Stadium, communication has been done primarily through a Sustainability Council. The authors also see more opportunities, such as documentation about CSR strategy, results and key indicators. If departments take responsibility, work towards a common goal and support each other, greater benefit is achieved, and CSR is then a strategy and guidance that will benefit businesses and society. Science contributions: The study's knowledge contribution results in an increased understanding that coordination and integration between departments increases the chance of a total CSR strategy, with the desired strategic outcome of higher total value creation for companies and society.

Повний текст джерелаBackground and problem: Environmental- and social responsibilities are the issues that the public increasingly demands on businesses. According to studies, it turns out that the financial sectors disinterest in ethical and environmental questions damages public confidence in the financial industry. Meanwhile, it turns out that the financial sector has increased publication of Corporate Social Responsibility. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of how the financial sector fulfills a social responsibility. We also want to examine how actors in the financial industry go about to act responsibly. Method: To collect the information, we have used interviews. We investigated the sustainability reports and then followed it up with interviews with a CSR manager at the respective institutions. Conclusion: Through the investigation, we concluded that financial institutions comply with the requirements imposed on companies to fulfill a social responsibility, whether it is through statutory regulations or ethical standards and values. It, however, can choose to follow and to what degree, is the ethical norms and values as defined by various international guidelines. The survey also showed that the surveyed financial institutions conceptualize CSR by striving to achieve sustainable funding. Financial institutions have an identical mindset of sustainable funding, the largest can influence through its lending activities is a starting point that unites institutes. They believe that this leads to greater accountability and that the business complies with sustainable development.
