1	The impact of energy- and building policy on property companies in Sweden : Mandatory regulations vs. voluntary commitments / Energi- och byggnadspolicyers påverkan på svenska fastighetsbolag : Bindande regler respektive frivilliga åtagande Zentner, Sara January 2017 (has links) What forces are today driving large property companies in Sweden to save energy and increase energy performance in buildings? This master thesis focusing on mandatory- and voluntary policy has used a Political Science perspective on Urban Planning questions. In this qualitative case-study, interviews were conducted with 7 out of the 10 biggest property companies in Sweden. It includes both an investigation into which policies are found to be relevant for companies as well as a discussion about which actors are pushing them to reduce energy and become more sustainable. Results show that companies make voluntary commitments that go beyond what current mandatory building- and energy regulations demand. Instead they use voluntary policy 25-35% below BBR-levels, mainly by using building certification Miljöbyggnad, to certify and communicate their efforts. All companies have energy targets published in yearly reports and continuously work to reduce their energy- and emissions output. Yearly reports also show that 6 out of 7 companies now use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Some have joined benchmarking initiative GRESB or the CDP. The use of voluntary informational disclosure systems show that companies are under increasing pressure to become more (verifiably) sustainable.

2	Styrräntans inverkan på fastighetsförvaltning / The impact of the central bank´s interest rates on Property Management Runesson, Ludvig, Forsgren, Fabian January 2023 (has links) Studien visar på att ändrade marknadsförhållanden leder till att företag ändrar sin strategi gällande fastighetsförvaltningen. Beroende på kapitalstruktur och bolagsstyrning ser företagen olika risker och behöver därför vidta olika åtgärder. Processen med förvaltning och nya investeringar försvåras, med en osäker marknad blir det svårare att budgetera, ta beslut om nya investeringar samt att allokera kapital. Fastighetsbolagen lägger nu stort fokus på att se till att effektivisera och se till att deras befintliga fastigheter når kundernas krav och behov. / The study shows that changing market conditions lead companies to adjust their strategy regarding property management. Depending on the capital structure and corporate governance, companies perceive different risks and therefore need to take different actions. The process of management and new investments becomes more challenging, as an uncertain market makes it harder to budget, make decisions on new investments, and allocate capital. Real estate companies now place great emphasis on ensuring efficiency and meeting the demands and needs of their existing properties.

3	Kapitalstrukturens inverkan på företags lönsamhet och värde : En empirisk studie över svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag Leindahl, Johan, Dahlén, Victor January 2014 (has links) How capital structure influences corporate performance and value has been in the interest of researchers and scholars for more than half a century, but an answer is yet to be found. The main objective of the present paper is to contribute with data for this cause and hopefully help to clarify this mystery. The method that was used was by analyzing the impact of debt on profitability and market valuation through linear regression. The study examined 17 Swedish property companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Large Mid and Small Cap over a 6 year period (2007-2012). The authors found a slightly negative relationship between debt-to-equity and profitability measured by return on equity (ROE) as well as by return on assets (ROA). However, significance was only found in terms of return on assets. The authors found no relationship between debt-to-equity and market valuation measured by price-to-earnings (P/E) nor price-to-book (P/B).
