Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate what measures the Nordic building company JM AB are using or plan to use to get points in the criterion, of the nordic eco-labeling company Svanen, that they call “Gröna Grepp”. The criterion “Gröna Grepp” aims to implement measures that benefit ecosystems, social sustainability, and energy efficiency. Methods: Three methods were used to complete the study. A literature study was used for searching facts about the subject and support why these measures are important. An interview study was made with the project managers at JM to investigate which points in the criterion they had taken or was planning to take. A survey was also performed with the general public to investigate their views of the measures in the criterion. Results: The study resulted in that 41 % of the investigated projects at JM are using their basic license which consists of solutions such as that 10% of the parking spaces must be adapted to be able to charge an electric car and at least 50% of the bicycle spaces are placed under a roof. The survey indicated that people in society were most interested in being able to charge electric cars and in being able to measure their energy consumption. But other aspects were also discovered from the survey and presented in the results. Conclusions: The conclusion is that the criterion Gröna grepp contributes in a positive way to several aspects. And that one should therefore invest more in Gröna grepp in the future. Taken together, one should invest more in implementing ecosystems and greenery in cities through well-planned gardens or growing boxes.

Arbetet med att minska människans utsläpp av växthusgaser är en fråga som är högaktuell idag. Transportsektorn är den sektor som har näst störst klimatpåverkan inom EU-området. För att minska transportsektorns klimatpåverkan anser EU-kommissionen att en del av det gods som idag går på väg behöver flyttas till tåg eller sjö för att nå EU:s miljömål. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka skillnaden av växthusgasutsläpp för transport av containrar beroende på transportsätt på sträckan Göteborg till Stockholm. De undersökta transportsätten var lastbil, godståg och containerfartyg. Studien använde en empirisk fallstudie där växthusgasutsläpp beräknades utifrån empiriska bränsleförbruknings data. Fallstudien kompletterades med en intervju från en person med stor erfarenhet av godstransporter på sträckan. Resultatet av undersökningen är att järnvägens miljöverkan är minst, men för tidskänsligt gods är fortfarande vägtransport det effektivaste transportslaget. För att sjöfart ska vara ett miljömässigt alternativ måste anpassningar av fartyg och/eller drift göras. / The work to reduce greenhouse emissions created by humans is a question that is highly relevant today. The transport sector is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the European Union. To reduce the greenhouse emissions from the transport sector the EU commission has said that some of the freight that currently is being transported by road must move to rail or sea transport in order to reach EU environmental targets. The scope of this study is to compare the greenhouse emissions based on fuel consumption from domestic container transport between Gothenburg and Stockholm. The different modes of transports studied were trucks, freight train and container ship. The study was conducted using an empirical case study to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions using empirical fuel consumption data. The case study was supplemented by an interview with a person with great insight in the transport business. The result from the study shows that from an environmental perspective container transport by rail should be used. Transport by road is still the best means of transport for time sensitive cargo. If transport by sea is to be an environmental option, there has to be adjustments on either ships or management or both.
