Para isso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral conhecer o sujeito ecológico, trabalhador, do sexo masculino, que migrou para o município do Rio Grande a fim de trabalhar na edificação da Plataforma P-55, no Polo Naval, onde se espera que ele retrate como é a vida de um trabalhador de grandes obras (TGOs), como é sua jornada de trabalho,quais são suas atividades, suas metas, como lida com a distância dos entes queridos, enfim, de que maneira se dá os impactos e as mudanças advindas de sua migração, quais são suas percepções e como se percebe diante do novo ambiente. As grandes obras têm atraído o olhar da academia, contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o impacto socioambiental que a migração desses trabalhadores desencadeia na vida dos mesmos e por ventura da comunidade local. Dessa forma, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 14 homens que migraram para Rio Grande para trabalhar no Polo Naval, mais especificamente na Plataforma P-55 que se instalou na cidade. Dentre os principais resultados, pode-se verificar que os trabalhadores são migrantes de Pernambuco, Bahia e Rio de Janeiro e buscam no emprego melhores condições financeiras. Para isso vivenciam uma jornada de trabalho intensa e além disso, sofrem com a distância de suas famílias. Muitos pensam em continuar vivendo no município de Rio Grande se puderem seguir trabalhando e a grande maioria almeja evoluir profissionalmente. Sugere-se então que os trabalhadores estejam a par de seus direitos trabalhistas, o que abrange entre outras, salário, saúde e prevenção de acidentes, prezando o bem-estar. / This research aims to outline and discuss the contexts in which it operates the Platform P-55, describing the profile of this construction site workers and their extensions. For this, the present study aims to know the general subject ecological worker, male sex, they migrated to the city of Rio Grande in order to work in the edification of Platform P-55, in Naval Pole, where he is expected to portrays how the life of a worker works great (TGOs), as is his workday, which its activities, its goals, how it deals with the distance of loved ones, anyway, that way takes the impacts and changes resulting from their migration, what are your perceptions and as noted before new environment. Major works have attracted the eye of the academy, yet little is known about the environmental impact that these buildings bring to life the very workers / laborers. Thus, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 men who migrated to work in the Rio Grande in Naval Pole, specifically the Platform P-55 that settled in the city. Among the main results, we can verify that workers are migrants from Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro seek employment and better financial conditions. For this experience an intense workday and beyond suffer from the distance of their families. Many think to continue living here if they can continue working and most craves evolve professionally. It is then suggested that workers are aware of their labor rights, which include among others, salary, health and accident, preserving the welfare.

The purpose of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of the term impact investing and examine how Nordic impact investors manage risk, return, and social and/or environmental in emerging markets. Relevant aspects to impact investing have been identified to enable this thesis to be conducted. The thesis derives from a qualitative research method, this to gain a deeper understanding of the term and how Nordic impact investors conduct their business in emerging markets. The thesis is based on a deductive research approach due to that the term impact investing has a limited amount of previous research.   The literature review highlights relevant theories related to the research questions. The concepts presented are impact investing, emerging markets, dual interest, and risk management. These theories have later been put into a conceptual framework to showcase the interconnections. From the conceptual framework, three main concepts (impact investing, dual interest, and risk management in emerging markets) have been established and then later analysed based on the empirical data gathered from a multi-case study.   The analysis chapter includes a comparison and discussion between the empirical findings and the literature review in order to answer the thesis research questions. Furthermore, the analysis follows the same concepts presented in the operationalization. The final chapter reveals the conclusions drawn based on the analysis conducted. The final chapter further highlight implications both theoretical and practical, followed by suggestions for future research. The theoretical implications of the thesis pinpoint that impact investing require conceptual clarity to raise more awareness and gain recognition. Furthermore, risk management is an essential part of conducting investments in emerging markets. The practical implications showcase that impact investing can be conducted in several different ways and that there are no distinct patterns on how to manage impact investments best. Furthermore, the thesis stresses the importance of impact investing in emerging markets.
