The role of the financial advisor is subject to fiduciary duty, which means that the advisor always should act in the best interest of the client and has traditionally referred to the financial aspects. Finance is now experiencing a revolution, where the concept of sustainable finance is on the agenda of many actors when the sustainability amendments to MiFID II entered into force, as part of the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance. The new regulations will add to the already intensified information load characterizing the financial advisory landscape. Moreover, this new dimension of sustainability is very different from the strictly financial one, which in itself is subject to both conceptually and operational complexity. This study aims to investigate what difficulties and complexities are arising from the growing amount of sustainability demands and information and how these affect the financial advisor and its role. This was done as a qualitative case study where nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with financial advisors working in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, together with two interviews with employees working with sustainability at a central level in a Nordic bank. The analysis is based on the interviews combined with current literature and together lays the foundation for the findings. The key findings of the study are that there are five identified difficulties stemming from different areas that are seen as important for understanding what the inclusion of sustainability preferences into financial advisory might mean going forward, and what effects that it will have on the financial advisor: (i) regulatory changes and compliance, (ii) sustainability preferences, (iii) the information-intensive landscape, (iv) advisors’ required awareness and knowledge, and (v) the perceived advisor’s role. When adding these identified difficulties together, the conclusion is that the concept of sustainable finance is not as uncomplicated as perhaps portrayed, and this holds extra true for the studied inclusion of sustainability in the advisory process. / Den finansiella rådgivarens roll är föremål för fiduciary duty, vilket innebär att rådgivaren alltid ska agera i kundens bästa och traditionellt har hänvisat till de ekonomiska aspekterna. Finans upplever nu en revolution, där begreppet hållbar ekonomi står på dagordningen för många aktörer när hållbarhetsändringarna till MiFID II trädde i kraft, som en del av EU: s handlingsplan för finansiering av hållbar tillväxt. De nya reglerna kommer att öka den redan intensifierade informationsbelastningen som kännetecknar det finansiella rådgivande landskapet. Dessutom skiljer sig denna nya hållbarhetsdimension mycket från den strikt ekonomiska, som i sig är föremål för både konceptuell och operativ komplexitet. Studien syftar till att undersöka vilka svårigheter och komplexiteter som uppstår till följd av den ökande mängden hållbarhetskrav och information och hur dessa påverkar den finansiella rådgivaren och dess roll. Detta gjordes som en kvalitativ fallstudie där nio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med finansiella rådgivare som arbetade i Danmark, Finland och Sverige, tillsammans med två intervjuer med anställda som arbetade med hållbarhet på en central nivå i en nordisk bank. Analysen baseras på intervjuerna i kombination med aktuell litteratur och lägger tillsammans grunden för resultaten. De viktigaste resultaten i studien är att det finns fem identifierade svårigheter som härrör från olika områden som ses som viktiga för att förstå vad införandet av hållbarhetspreferenser i finansiell rådgivning kan innebära framöver och vilka effekter det kommer att få för finansiella rådgivare: (i) regeländringar och efterlevnad, (ii) hållbarhetspreferenser, (iii) det informationsintensiva landskapet, (iv) rådgivarnas medvetenhet och kunskap och (v) den upplevda rådgivarens roll. När man sammanställer dessa identifierade svårigheter är slutsatsen att begreppet hållbar ekonomi inte är så okomplicerat som det kanske framställs, och detta gäller extra för den studerade inkluderingen av hållbarhet i rådgivningsprocessen.

This master thesis aims to unveil and examine the interplay between different actors in the fight against human trafficking. These are: the European Union, the Czech Republic and Belgium. A content (text) analysis of the primary sources gives the answers on how those actors work with the definition of human trafficking and to what extent the two member states implemented the EU Directive 2011/36/EU and other documents. In addition to conducting the content (text) analysis, creating a literature review and researching on different discourses linked to this phenomenon, this thesis include two semi-structured interviews with the representatives of the Czech Republic and Belgium. Those offer deeper insight into how those states form this fight in practice. They unveiled different aspects in their own approaches but also aspects that make their approach unique. This thesis examines also how the new strategy - the most important document framing the fight against human trafficking and the country's priorities - is adopted and what generally will those strategies include from the year 2020.
