Previous issue date: 2018-09-19 / Cada vez mais, observa-se o quanto a corrupção provoca impactos imensuráveis para o desenvolvimento social e econômico do país. Além disto, provoca danos à reputação das pessoas e das empresas. Combatê-la depende de todos e sobretudo das empresas, que possuem relevante papel neste cenário. Neste sentido, este trabalho aplicado tem como panorama o contexto brasileiro da lei anticorrupção e do Programa de Integridade exigido às empresas, levando em conta as questões de cultura, clima organizacional e liderança. Posto que “a prevenção à corrupção deve ser vista como uma ação integrada de diversas instâncias e níveis gerenciais de uma empresa [...] que viabilizem um maior comprometimento individual, coletivo e institucional” (MACHADO, 2015, p. 17), o presente trabalho tem como objetivo responder a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa - Como empresas de infraestrutura brasileiras conduzem seus programas de integridade? Para isto, foi realizado um estudo de caso a partir de uma análise qualitativa. Os dados analisados levam a inferir que as ações do Programa de Integridade realizadas pela empresa têm seguido as orientações da Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), contudo, diante dos indicadores de desempenho social referentes à ética e integridade e combate à corrupção obtidos nos Relatórios de Sustentabilidade, entende-se que os dados são insuficientes para que se faça uma análise do Programa implantado. Ao comparar o Programa realizado pela empresa com a Lei Anticorrupção e as orientações da CGU ele contempla os itens necessários. Denota-se, contudo uma oportunidade de melhoria com relação a aplicação do mesmo no que tange às ações de desenvolvimento e treinamento da liderança. Embora restritos a uma única organização, os resultados podem ser fonte de informação para as empresas perceberem o tema e atuarem de maneira a assegurar o equilíbrio da sustentabilidade e a melhoria na competitividade. No entanto, esta pesquisa não busca generalizar os resultados, mas sim contribuir com a reflexão sobre as possibilidades, tanto para as intervenções organizacionais como para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas. / Ever more it is observed how much corruption causes immeasurable impacts for the social and economic development ofthe country. In addition, it causes damage to the reputation of individuals and companies. Combat it depends on everyone and especially the companies, which have a relevant role in this scenario. In this sense, this applied work has as panorama the Brazilian context of the anticorruption law and the Integrity Program required to the companies taking into account the issues of culture, organizational climate and leadership. "The prevention of corruption must be seen as an integrated action of several instances and levels of management of a company [...] that enable greater individual, collective and institutional commitment" (MACHADO, 2015, p.17), the present work aims to answer the following research question - How do Brazilian infrastructure companies conduct their integrity programs? For this, a case study was carried out from a qualitative analysis. The data analyzed lead us to infer that the actions of the Integrity Program carried out by the company have followed the guidelines of the Union Comptroller's Office (CGU), however, given the indicators obtained in the Sustainability Reports, it is understood that the data are insufficient for an analysis of the implemented Program. When comparing the Program carried out by the company with the Anti-Corruption Law and the guidelines of the CGU, it been included the necessary items. However there is an opportunity for improvement with respect to its application in relation to leadership development and training actions. Although restricted to a single organization, the results can be a source of information for companies to grasp the issue and act in a way that ensures a balance of sustainability and improved competitiveness. However, this research does not seek to generalize the results, but rather to contribute to the reflection on the possibilities, both for the organizational interventions and for the research development.

Previous issue date: 2010-09-15 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / The reason this study is to identify through analysis of economic-financial firms certified by the Corporate Sustainability Index - ISE & the BMF BOVESPA, the results of these companies were affected after the event of approval of the ISE. The methodology used was to study the event and sought to identify the existence of variations in company results.This work analyzed the behavior of indicators: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Sales (ROS) and Operating Income before Depreciation and interest (EBITDA) of certified companies to assess the impact of certification on financial performance in certified companies in the years 2006 and 2007. The universe of this study was the number of 12 companies certified in 2006 and 24 in 2007, totaling 36 companies.Another limitation was the number of observations was restricted to eight quarters (April 4, preparedness and post-certification), plus the quarter certification, plus eight quarter postcertification, a total of 20 quarters of each company. Data were obtained from Economática and the site of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) on the internet.Results by individual company, there seems to be the trend of more companies to submit ROA, ROE, ROS and higher EBITDA in the period of 24 months post-certification. It was found that the ROA and ROS - Operating margin - were the most sensitive indicators to changes post-certification, however, these variations showed no signs of influence because of the certification, but perhaps favorable economic environment for businesses to leverage their results. / A razão deste estudo é identificar, por meio da análise de indicadores econômicofinanceiros de empresas certificadas pelo Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial - ISE da BMF&BOVESPA, se os resultados destas empresas foram influenciados após o evento da certificação do ISE. A metodologia utilizada foi a de estudo de evento e buscou identificar a existência de variações nos resultados das empresas. Neste trabalho, é analisado o comportamento dos indicadores: Retorno sobre os Ativos (ROA), Retorno sobre o Patrimônio Líquido (ROE), Retorno sobre as Vendas (ROS) e Resultado Operacional antes da Depreciação e dos juros (EBTIDA) das empresas certificadas para avaliar o impacto da
certificação no desempenho financeiro nas empresas certificadas nos exercícios de 2006 e 2007. O universo pesquisado foi o número de 12 empresas certificadas em 2006, e 24, em 2007, totalizando 36 empresas. Outra limitação foi o número de observações que se restringiu a 8 trimestres (4 de preparação e 4 de pós-certificação), mais o trimestre de certificação, mais 8 trimestres de pós-certificação, totalizando 20 trimestres de cada empresa. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da Economática e do sítio da Comissão dos Valores Mobiliários (CVM) na internet. Pelos resultados individuais por empresa, parece não existir a tendência de mais empresas apresentarem ROA, ROE, ROS e EBTIDA maiores no período dos 24 meses póscertificação. Constatou-se que o ROA e o ROS - Margem Operacional foram os indicadores mais sensíveis a mudanças pós-certificação, entretanto, essas variações não apresentaram
sinais de influência pelo fato da certificação, mas possivelmente pelo cenário econômico amplamente favorável para as empresas alavancarem seus resultados.

Previous issue date: 2012-08-15 / The current economic scenery, with high competition level among market players, easy access to economic and financial information and increasing number of companies that went bankrupt in recent years, changed the investors behavior and the decisive factors of investment targets. Nowadays, to mitigate these risks, shareholders became more concerned to long-term analysis and in this context arise the new concept of socially responsible companies, those that are sustainable and profitable to shareholders, even though this idea is also shared by BM&FBovespa it is not supported by current researches. This research aims to compare the probability of insolvency of corporations that make up the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) and others traded on BM&FBovespa. The research was done in two different moments: model creation and model application to a controlled group. The model used the insolvent and solvent companies from 2006 up to 2011 and established annual equations to calculate the probability of insolvency. Applying the model it was possible to identify the corporations probability of insolvency that belong to the ISE. The results of this study allowed to confirm based on the average probability of insolvency that ISE´s companies have less default chances if compared with sector correspondents traded in the stock market. / A conjuntura econômica atual, com alto nível de competição entre os agentes mercadológicos, a facilidade ao acesso às informações econômico-financeiro e o aumento do número de casos de falência empresarial, alteraram o comportamento dos investidores e o critério de seleção de empresas para investimento. Atualmente, visando mitigar os riscos de suas aplicações, os acionistas tornaram-se mais críticos e conscientes na análise de longo prazo e neste contexto, surge o conceito de empresas socialmente responsáveis. Estas empresas são caracterizadas por possuírem um negócio sustentável e rentável para os acionistas, porém este discurso, também adotado pela BM&FBovespa, não está comprovado pelas pesquisas atuais. Esta dissertação objetivou comparar a probabilidade de insolvência entre as empresas que compõem o Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) e as demais transacionadas na BM&FBovespa. Foram realizadas duas etapas na pesquisa: construção do modelo e aplicação no grupo de controle. O modelo utilizou as empresas insolventes e solventes no período de 2006 a 2011 e estabeleceu equações anuais para o cálculo da probabilidade de insolvência. A aplicação do modelo identificou a probabilidade de insolvência entre as empresas pertencentes ao Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da BM&FBovespa e nas demais transacionadas. Os resultados obtidos permitiram confirmar através das médias da probabilidade de insolvência que as empresas pertencentes ao Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial possuem menor probabilidade ao default se comparadas com suas correspondentes setoriais comercializadas na bolsa.

Previous issue date: 2012-08-15 / The relationship between corporate financial performance and social and environmental
responsibility(RSA) has being studied by many researchers, however, until now, the results
are contradictory. Based on Stakeholders and Stockholders theories, in a positivist framework
(quantitative), this exploratory and descriptive study evaluates the correlation between RSA
and the corporate financial performance of non-financial Brazilian Companies listed in
BM&FBOVESPA. The sample used was non-probabilistic, composed by 112 companies,
among them, 28 belongs to RSA group and 84 are part of a comparison group (N_RSA). The
financial and market data related to the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 were obtained from
Economatica data base. Applying the statistical method repeated measures variance analysis
and the linear mixed models, it was analised the relationship between RSA and the financials
indicators ROE (return on equity), ROA (return on assets), P/E (Price/Earnings), MV /BV
(market value/book value) and Sales Growing. The results obtained by analysis of variance
suggest that RSA influences on the sales growing, but it wasn t possible to identify if the
signal of that influence (positive or negative). For the others variable, the results suggest a
neutral influence. The linear mixed models suggest that RSA influences positively ROE and is
neutral for the others variables. / A relação entre responsabilidade social e ambiental (RSA) e o desempenho financeiro das
empresas tem sido objeto de estudo de diversos pesquisadores, porém, os resultados obtidos
até o momento são contraditórios. Fundamentado nas teorias dos Stakeholders e Stockholders,
este trabalho exploratório e descritivo, com abordagem positivista (quantitativo), buscou
avaliar a relação entre RSA e o desempenho financeiro das empresas brasileiras não
financeiras de capital aberto com ações negociadas na BM&FBOVESPA. A amostra
escolhida de forma não probabilística foi composta por 112 empresas, das quais 28 do grupo
RSA e 84 do grupo de comparação (N_RSA). Os dados econômico-financeiros e de mercado
dos anos de 2008, 2009 e 2010 das empresas da amostra foram obtidos da base de dados
Economatica. Utilizando-se das técnicas estatísticas análise de variância com medidas
repetidas e modelo linear de efeitos mistos, avaliou-se a relação entre RSA e os indicadores
de desempenho financeiro ROE (retorno sobre o patrimônio líquido RPL), ROA (retorno
sobre ativos RAT), P/L (preço/lucro P_L), VM/VL (valor de mercado/valor de livro) e
Crescimento nas Vendas (+Vend). A análise de variância encontrou evidências que permitem
inferir que RSA influencia a variável Crescimento nas Vendas, mas não foi possível
identificar se positiva ou negativamente. Para as demais variáveis a influência RSA mostrouse
neutra. O resultado do modelo linear de efeitos mistos obteve evidências que RSA
influencia positivamente a variável ROE e é neutra para as demais variáveis estudadas.

Trabalho e sustentabilidade: contribuições da ergonomia da atividade e da psicodinâmica do trabalho. / Work and sustainability: contributions of activity-centered ergonomics and work psychodynamics.Claudio Marcelo Brunoro 09 December 2013 (has links)
Organizações alinhadas com a sustentabilidade consideram em suas ações aspectos relacionados com as dimensões ambiental, econômica e social e devem ser constituídas de sistemas de produção sustentáveis e, consequentemente, possuir ambientes de trabalho saudáveis. Nesse sentido, se o recurso humano é um dos maiores ativos das organizações, deve-se, então, garantir a sua sustentabilidade. Não é simplesmente uma questão de perenizar esse recurso, mas de criar oportunidades para o desenvolvimento profissional e a construção da sua saúde em um sentido amplo. Isso implica que uma análise do sistema de produção envolva, também, o aspecto social, considerando inclusive o trabalho em si, destacando a importância do trabalho para a vida dos sujeitos, assim como a sua contribuição para a qualidade e para a produtividade, bem como para o próprio desenvolvimento da sociedade e da cultura. Sendo assim, por meio de análise documental e estudos de casos realizados em 10 organizações engajadas em sustentabilidade, esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de estabelecer as contribuições da ergonomia da atividade e da psicodinâmica do trabalho para a consideração do tema Trabalho em um contexto de sustentabilidade corporativa. Para tanto, inicialmente foram identificadas as ações de sustentabilidade relacionadas ao tema Trabalho, tanto no universo teórico quanto no universo corporativo, tais como: a consideração dos direitos humanos e do trabalho decente, inclusive nas práticas da cadeia de suprimentos; o incentivo ao trabalho voluntário; o investimento em desenvolvimento profissional; os programas de saúde e bem-estar e os de saúde e segurança no trabalho. Foram verificados também os elementos comuns da sustentabilidade, sendo eles a consideração: de valores e da ética; da temporalidade; das múltiplas escalas de análise; das várias dimensões; e da interdependência e da integração entre esses elementos. Por fim, um diálogo com a ergonomia da atividade e a psicodinâmica do trabalho explicita a necessidade de se reconhecer e incorporar a centralidade do trabalho, no sentido do trabalhar, considerando o papel fundamental da subjetividade, do conteúdo e da organização do trabalho para, no limite, o trabalho levar à felicidade. Dessa forma, trabalho é acreditado ser aquele que, provido de sentido e permeado pelas relações de confiança e cooperação, melhora o desempenho da organização, promove o desenvolvimento profissional, possibilita a construção da saúde dos trabalhadores em um sentido amplo e positivo, favorece o desenvolvimento da criatividade e a mobilização das inteligências, considerando a relevância das questões físicas, cognitivas e organizacionais e, sobretudo, a sua centralidade para o desenvolvimento da cultura e da sociedade. / Organizations aligned with sustainability take into account in their actions aspects related to the environmental, economic and social dimensions and shall make use of sustainable production systems and therefore possess a healthy working environment. In this sense, the \"human resource\" is one of the greatest assets of the organizations, and its sustainability must be ensured. It is not simply a matter of perpetuating this \"resource\", but to create opportunities for professional development and the construction of their health in a broad sense. This implies an analysis of the work system that also involves the social aspect, considering even the work itself, highlighting the importance of the work for the life of the subject, as well as its contribution to the quality and productivity as well as the development of society and culture. Thus, through document analysis and case studies in 10 organizations engaged in sustainability, this research aims to establish the contributions of activity-centered ergonomics and work psychodynamics in consideration of the topic Work in a context of corporate sustainability. Therefore, initially, the sustainability actions related to this subject was identified in both the theoretical universe as in the corporate world, such as: the account of human rights and decent work, including the supply chain; the encouragement of volunteer work; the investment in professional development; health and well-being programs and health and safety at work programs. Also examined were the common elements of sustainability, namely: values and ethics; temporality; the multiple scales of analysis; the various dimensions; and the interdependence and integration between these elements. Finally, a dialogue with the activity-centered ergonomics and the psychodynamics of work explains the need to recognize and incorporate the importance of work, considering the fundamental roles of the subjectivity, the content and the work organization, in order to achieve a happiness state. Therefore, work is believed to be the one that, provided of meaning and permeated by relations of trust and cooperation, enhances the performance of the organization, promotes professional development, enables the construction of workers\' health in a broad sense, favors the development of creativity and the intelligence mobilization, considering the importance of physical, cognitive and organizational matters and, especially, its centrality to the development of culture and society.

Corporate Sustainability/CSR Communications and Value Creation : A Marketing Approach / Företagets Hållbarhetskommunikation/CSR och Värdeskapande : En MarknadsföringsansatsMohamed, Bibri January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to explore the current practices in corporate sustainability/CSR communications and how this trend contributes to corporate value creation. More specifically, this study looks at this subject from the angle of how companies can use corporate sustainability/CSR communications in marketing activities to attain corporate marketing objectives. To achieve the aim of this study, an examination of the current practices in corporate sustainability /CSR communications was performed through a pertinent empirical and theoretical literature review as well as a quantitative and qualitative empirical method using a survey questionnaire. The author attempted, in the same way, to illustrate how corporate sustainability/CSR communications can strengthen corporate reputation and directly enhance financial performance. For theory, two bodies of literature (corporate communications and corporate sustainability) were selected for review in terms of the degree of synergy and integration between them and their implications for this thesis. The key findings from literature review and empirical study showed that the practices of corporate social responsibility communications occurs through CSR, Triple Bottom Line (PPP) or corporate sustainability reporting, stakeholder dialogue on sustainability issues and social and environmental communication programs. Also, the auditing and assurance of CSR reporting is carried out through different measures including internal (i.e. human resources management, CSR and/or PR department) and external (i.e. business partner, consulting or risk management firm) or both measures. It was also found that sustainability has been a part of corporate culture and strategy development for a number of organizations pursuing the sustainability path for decades. Moreover, public relations activity is ranked the most effective in communicating sustainability at corporate level and has the potential to reach a wide spectrum of stakeholder audiences. However, a level of skepticism was noticed among stakeholders towards corporate sustainability/CSR communications. Nonetheless, knowing how stakeholders perceive corporate image and what they expect in return for their support is fundamental in designing effective corporate and marketing communications strategies. Stakeholders’ relations management is the bottom line for success and sustainability of the business and lies at the core of CSR practice and its reporting. Further, the growth of corporate sustainability/CSR communications has reflected the keen interest from all stakeholders; hence, it has become a topic of major importance and also, as it was found, a key factor that experts and planners in the field should capitalize on and watch in competitive marketplaces. Furthermore, having a pro-social and environmental agenda means having a sound corporate and marketing communications strategies that can build a company’s reputational standing and create sustainable competitive advantages. The trend towards injecting sustainability into corporate decisions making and strategy development has come about through what organizations have achieved in terms of value creation pertaining to reputation and financial performance enhancement. The author’s review of the literature makes an advance on extant reviews of the literature by highlighting the importance of corporate sustainability/CSR communications in marketing with respect to corporate value maximization. Overall, this thesis endeavours to present contributions, avenues and departure of journeying for further empirical research and development. / +46704352135

La cultura de control como herramienta para la sostenibilidad corporativa / A culture of supervision as a tool for corporate sustainabilityMorante Alvarado, Josefa July, Reyes Cuadros, Ursula María 22 April 2021 (has links)
Para optimizar la comprensión de las causas que origina la falta de control en las organizaciones y qué medidas adoptan las empresas, se realiza el análisis de las posturas de los autores de 36 artículos científicos en temas relacionados con el control y la buena gobernanza. De esta forma, se identificaron cuatro subtemas detallados a continuación: entorno de control, control interno, gobierno corporativo y responsabilidad social. Del análisis se determinó que el compromiso de la alta dirección es clave para sentar las bases de los subtemas arriba mencionado. Asimismo, se evidencia que, a través del reforzamiento del cumplimiento del marco normativo y aseguramiento de estructuras sólidas de comunicación, se logra involucrar a todos los niveles de la organización con la gestión de riesgos y el control interno.
Además, la alta dirección tendrá la responsabilidad de afianzar y fortalecer una cultura ética dentro de la empresa y en su entorno, así como designar los recursos necesarios para identificar las áreas de riesgo. Un comportamiento y desempeño ético permite agregar valor y atraer la inversión, lo que hace atractiva y sostenible a una organización. / To maximize understanding of the causes leading to a lack of supervision among organizations and the steps that are taken by companies, an analysis was performed regarding the positions taken by the authors of 36 scientific articles on topics related to supervision and good governance. This analysis identified four subtopics: supervision environment, internal control, corporate governance, and social responsibility. It was determined that senior management’s commitment is critical in laying the foundations for the aforementioned subtopics. It was also evidenced that, by strengthening compliance with the legal framework and assuring solid communication structures, it is possible to involve all levels of the organization in risk management and internal control.
The senior management is also responsible for consolidating and strengthening an ethical culture within the company and its surrounding environment, as well as designing the necessary resources to identify risk areas. Ethical behavior and management help add value and attract investment, thus making an organization more appealing and sustainable. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional

Model hodnocení přínosu moderních technologií ve vztahu k udržitelnosti podniku / The evaluation model of the benefit of modern technologies in relation to corporate sustainabilityDušková, Monika January 2019 (has links)
The thesis is focused at the measurement of the benefit of modern technologies in relation to sustainable development for companies that are implementing the so-called Key Enabling Technologies, into their production processes. The multidisciplinarity of these technologies and their huge impact on societal and environmental challenges of the current society are the reason, why the companies implementing these technologies have to be assessed differently, more comprehensively. It is also proven within the detailed literature review. The aim of the thesis is to develop evaluation model of the benefit of modern technologies in manufacturing companies that reflects the aspects of the sustainable development. For this purpose, the relevant performance indicators have to be developed. The various statistical methods are applied, especially the structural equation modelling, in order to achieve the goal of the thesis. Finally, the pilot testing of the optimized model is realized on the specific company.

Evaluating the Implementation of Sustainability Management Systems in Green-tech Companies : A case study at Northvolt AB / Utvärderar implementeringen av hållbarhetsledningssystem i green-tech företag : En fallstudie på Northvolt ABHammar, Anna, Jonsson, Nathalie January 2021 (has links)
In recent times, sustainability has become a top management priority as well as a competitive advantage for organizations. Green-tech companies that develop and commercialize innovations and technology, that protect the environment by alleviating environmental market failures while preserving natural resources, have increased as a result. Additionally, more companies pursue corporate sustainability (CS), which is a comprehensive term that includes CSR and the long-term effects of corporate actions to maximize the organization’s contribution to SD. Management systems can help companies to achieve certain dimensions of CS, however, no single management system is comprehensive enough to capture the entire scope of CS. The most commonly used management systems related to CS are the quality management system ISO 9001:2015, environmental management system ISO 14001:2015, energy management system ISO 50001:2018, and occupational health and safety management system ISO 45001:2018. However, the adoption of multiple, separate MSs can lead to counterproductivity and difficulties in managing them. This issue is often solved by creating an integrated management system (IMS), defined as a fusion of two or more MSs. IMSs can enable the operationalization and implementation of CS into business processes and an IMS augmented with CS principles is defined as a sustainability management system (SMS). In literature, there are conceptual frameworks for the development of SMSs, but they lack empirical evidence in multiple industries and countries, especially in green-tech companies. The study aimed to develop a framework for how green-tech companies can achieve an SMS. The aim was realized by studying state-of-the-art literature, testing the applicability of an SMS framework in a case study, evaluating the applicability, and suggesting improvements. The case study was done at a battery cell manufacturer, which was chosen because this industry faces a number of sustainability threats and is emerging rapidly parallel to the automotive industry’s electrification. The originality of the work lies in testing the applicability of the current frameworks in practice at a green-tech company. The main contribution of this study is the development of an updated framework for the implementation of an SMS in green-tech companies, based on the literature and empirical findings. The framework provides managers with an understanding of the path towards incorporating CS and working towards a sustainable development. Another contribution is the compliance analysis which can be used to evaluate the implementation of an SMS. The authors consider the findings to be applicable to other green-tech companies and battery cell manufacturers with a sustainability-focus. The framework adapted to the case study’s circumstances shows how to apply the solution in practice. / På senare tid har hållbarhet blivit högsta prioritet i företagsledningar eftersom det många gånger innebär konkurrensfördelar för organisationer. Så kallade green-tech-företag har utvecklats i takt med nutidens hållbarhetsutmaningar, i syfte att utveckla och kommersialisera innovationer och teknik som skyddar miljön och lindrar miljömässiga marknadsmisslyckanden, samtidigt som naturresurser bevaras. Allt fler organisationer arbetar numera också med företags hållbarhetsarbete (corporate sustainability, CS) vilket är ett omfattande begrepp som innefattar, utöver alla aspekter av socialt ansvarstagande (CSR), även ett långsiktigt perspektiv till hållbar utveckling. Arbetet med CS kan underlättas med ledningssystem specialiserade i varje dimension av CS, men enbart ensamma ledningssystem kan inte åstadkomma CS. De vanligaste ledningssystemen relaterade till CS är kvalitetsledningssystemet ISO 9001:2015, miljöledningssystemet ISO 14001:2015, energiledningssystemet ISO 50001:2018 och arbetsmiljöledningssystemet ISO 45001:2018. Företag som innehar flera olika ledningssystem upptäcker dock snart att det kan leda till kontraproduktivitet och svårigheter att hantera de olika systemen. Detta löses ofta genom att skapa ett integrerat ledningssystem (IMS) som definieras som en sammanslagning av två eller fler ledningssystem. Ett IMS kan möjliggöra integrering av CS in i ett företags processer och ett IMS kompletterat med CS definieras som ett hållbarhetsledningssystem (SMS). Det finns konceptuella ramverk för SMS i litteraturen, men de saknar empiri i många olika typer av industrier, företag och länder, inte minst inom green-tech. Studien syftade till att utveckla ett ramverk för hur green-tech-företag kan uppnå ett SMS. Syftet kunde åstadkommas genom att studera aktuell SMS-litteratur, testa tillämpbarheten av ett SMS-ramverk genom en fallstudie, utvärdera tillämpbarheten och därefter föreslå förbättringsförslag gällande de studerade ramverken. Fallstudien utfördes på en battericellstillverkare eftersom denna industri står inför hållbarhetsutmaningar och växer parallellt med elektrifieringen av bilindustrin. Originaliteten i arbetet ligger i att testa tillämpbarheten för nuvarande ramverk i praktiken på ett green-tech-företag. Studiens huvudsakliga bidrag är ett uppdaterat ramverk för implementeringen av ett SMS i green-tech-företag, baserat på litteratur och empiri. Ramverket kan bidra till att öka förståelsen i företagsledningar gällande den praktiska implementeringen av operativt hållbarhetsarbete. Ett annat bidrag är verktyget compliance analysis, som utvecklades i studien för att utvärdera implementationen av ett SMS. Författarna anser att studiens resultat är tillämpbart för andra green-tech-företag men även battericellstillverkare med hållbarhetsfokus. Det anpassade ramverket visar även hur studiens resultat kan tillämpas i praktiken.
