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.

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.

The safety performance of nuclear power reactors is a very important factor in evaluating nuclear energy sustainability. Improving the safety performance of nuclear reactors can enhance nuclear energy sustainability as it will improve the environmental indicator used to evaluate the overall sustainability of nuclear energy. Great interest is given now to advanced nuclear reactors especially those using passive safety components. Investigation of the improvement in nuclear safety using advanced reactors was done by comparing the safety performance of a conventional reactor which uses active safety systems, such as Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), with an advanced reactor which uses passive safety systems, such as AP1000, during a design basis accident, such as Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), using the PCTran as a simulation code. To assess the safety performance of PWR and AP1000, the “Global Safety Index” GSI model was developed by introducing three indicators: probability of accident occurrence, performance of safety system in case of an accident occurrence, and the consequences of the accident. Only the second indicator was considered in this work. A more detailed model for studying the performance of passive safety systems in AP1000 was developed. That was done using SCDAPSIM/RELAP5 code as it is capable of modelling design basis accidents (DBAs) in advanced nuclear reactors.

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om sambandet mellan ESG-betyg och lönsamhet ärpositivt för företag i Sverige, samt att jämföra detta samband för företag noterade på Small Cap med företag noterade på Large Cap. För att möta samhällets förväntningar har ESG blivitallt viktigare för företag, dock kan de höga kostnaderna för rapportering av ESG vara ett hinder för implementering. Studien har antagit en deduktiv ansats där hypoteserna utformats utefter tidigare empiriska studier och teorier, för att testa dessa antogs en kvantitativ metod. Den insamlade datan gällande ESG, ROA och ROE för 103 slumpmässigt utvalda företagfrån Nasdaq Stockholm analyserades sedan genom olika tester i statistikprogrammet Excel. Resultatet kunde påvisa ett positivt signifikant samband mellan ESG-betyg och lönsamhet förföretag noterade på Nasdaq Stockholm. Sambandet mellan variablerna för Small Cap respektive Large Cap var båda positiva, dock kunde dessa inte bevisas vara statistiskt signifikanta. Vidare konstaterar studien att företagens storlek har stor betydelse för ESG-betygen, företag på Large Cap tenderar att ha högre ESG-betyg än företag på Small Cap. Ytterligare upptäckt var att sambandet mellan ESG och ROA var starkare för Large Cap medan sambandet mellan ESG och ROE var starkare för Small Cap. / This study aims to investigate if there is a positive relationship between ESG ratings and profitability for companies in Sweden, and to compare this relationship between Small Cap and Large Cap companies. While ESG has become increasingly important for companies to meet societal expectations, the high cost of reporting ESG can be a barrier to implementation. Using a deductive approach and a quantitative method, the study analyzed ESG, ROA, andROE data for 103 randomly selected companies from Nasdaq Stockholm. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between ESG ratings and profitability for companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. However, the relationship between variables for Small Cap and Large Cap companies was not statistically significant. The study also found that the size of the companies was a significant factor in ESG ratings, with Large Cap companies having higher ratings than Small Cap companies. Additionally, the relationship between ESG and ROA was stronger for Large Cap companies, while the relationship between ESG and ROE was stronger for Small Cap companies.

Social sustainability is increasingly recognized as a pressing concern in Sweden today, not only for politicians but also for the business sector and citizens alike. Its significance is particularly pronounced in the real estate sector, perhaps even vital given its connection to societal well-being. While Swedish real estate companies might not be new to considering this perspective, there has not been such a collective concern before. Therefore, there is not a common way to view or tackle this. Some companies have begun to include sustainability reporting in their annual report and the number is increasing every year. However, current systems and processes lack vital information since companies do not know what data to collect and how to analyze and assess it. The available information may be questioned for its reliability since each company decides what to report, complicating informed decision-making. This leads to inefficient social sustainability efforts. Furthermore, the absence of a standardized framework hinders stakeholders and investors from evaluating the performance of different companies, thereby leaving them unaware of sustainability-related risks. Additionally, comparing sustainability performance across companies proves challenging, undermining the credibility of the sustainable investment market. To achieve a positive transition Swedish real estate industry needs to decide on how to measure social sustainability. In this study, a German model for scoring social initiatives called SI Scoring 2.0 was examined, and it was investigated whether the model can be adapted for use in the Swedish real estate industry. The findings indicate that the model cannot be adopted in its entirety, but with adjustments, it can serve the Swedish market. By considering previous research within the subject, Swedish stakeholders’ opinions and Swedish law, recommendations, and certifications an adapted model is presented, called Socialt HållbarhetsIndex, SH Index. The index consists of 31 key performance indicators, KPIs, categorized into “property level” and “community level”. Each KPI is evaluated using a five-point scoring scale, and the achieved score is then adjusted according to Maslow hierarchy of needs to derive a total score. The thesis, the social sustainability index and its careful research aim to contribute to the discussion regarding how to measure social sustainability in Sweden. To overcome previous mentioned challenges, stakeholders must prioritize transparent and reliable reporting to enable accurate assessments of social impact. Only with robust reporting practices can funds be directed towards long-term sustainable investments, fostering a more socially sustainable society. / Social hållbarhet uppmärksammas i allt högre grad som en brådskande fråga i Sverige, inte bara för politiker utan även för både näringsliv och medborgare. Dess inverkan är än mer påtaglig i fastighetsbranschen på grund av dess tydliga koppling till samhället och dess välbefinnande. Även om svenska bolag inte är främmande för social hållbarhet har det inte funnit någon gemensam diskussion eller företeelser för hur man bör förhålla sig till det. De senaste åren har en handfull bolag rapporterat sitt hållbarhetsarbete i årsredovisningen och det blir fler och fler. Dock saknar nuvarande system och processer viktig information eftersom företagen inte vet vilken data de ska samla in och hur de ska analysera den. Den tillgängliga informationen kan ifrågasättas för sin tillförlitlighet eftersom varje företag bestämmer vad de ska rapportera, vilket försvårar jämförbarheten och välgrundade beslut. Dessutom försvårar avsaknaden av en standardiserad ram för intressenter och investerare att utvärdera olika företags prestationer, vilket lämnar dem ovetande om hållbarhetsrelaterade risker. Att jämföra hållbarhetsinitiativ mellan företag visar sig också vara utmanande, vilket underminerar trovärdigheten för marknaden för hållbara investeringar. Det krävs därmed en stor förflyttning och systemförändring för att man ska kunna enas om hur man ska arbeta med social hållbarhet framåt. För att uppnå en positiv omställning behöver den svenska fastighetsbranschen enas om hur man ska mäta social hållbarhet. I denna studie granskades en tysk modell för att bedöma sociala initiativ, kallad SI Scoring 2.0, för att undersöka om modellen kan anpassas för användning på den svenska marknaden. Resultatet visar att modellen inte kan antas i sin helhet, men att den med justeringar skulle kunna användas i Sverige. Genom att beakta tidigare forskning inom ämnet, svensk lagstiftning, rekommendationer och certifieringar samt svenska intressenters åsikter presenterar denna studie en ny anpassad modell, kallad Socialt HållbarhetsIndex, SH Index. Indexet består av 31 indikatorer, KPIer, uppdelade i fastighetsnivå och samhällsnivå. Varje KPI utvärderas på en 5-gradig skala, och den uppnådda poängen viktas sedan enligt Maslows behovshierarki för att få fram en totalpoäng. Denna avhandling med det modifierade sociala hållbarhetsindexet och dess noggranna forskning syftar till att bidra till diskussionen om hur man mäter social hållbarhet i Sverige. För att övervinna de tidigare nämnda utmaningarna måste intressenter vara transparenta och tillförlitliga i rapportering för att möjliggöra korrekta bedömningar av social påverkan. Endast med omfattande standarder för rapportering kan medel riktas mot hållbara investeringar, vilket på sikt främjar ett mer socialt hållbart samhälle.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) är ett aktuellt ämne som syftar till att företag ska ta ett större samhällsansvar, både ur ett ekonomiskt, miljömässigt och socialt perspektiv. Den globalisering som råder i världen påverkar inte bara ett internt företagsklimat, det ger även effekter på omgivande samhälle och individer, vilket tillsammans med sociala påtryckningar skapar ett behov av CSR. Ansvaret till samhället innebär inte bara ekonomiska och lagliga aspekter, dock ska ett etiskt och filantropiskt perspektiv också antas. Idag är CSR ett frivilligt åtagande och för att kunna motivera företag till ett större ansvarstagande för sitt agerande ämnar denna studie att undersöka, ur ett nordiskt sammanhang, om ett företags hållbarhetsarbete genererar lönsamhet. Studien utgår från nordiska börsnoterade företag som ingår i Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). Indexet representeras av de bäst presterande hållbarhetsföretagen i världen som kvalificerat sig till att ingå. Genom en deduktiv kvantitativ metod studeras sambandet mellan CSR och lönsamhet för att förklara vilken effekt variabeln Corporate Social Performance (CSP) har på variabeln Corporate Financial Performance (CFP) under tidsperioden 2010-20162010–2016. Fortsättningsvis undersöks skillnaden i lönsamhet mellan företag som inkluderats i DJSI och matchade likartade nordiska företag som inte ingår i indexet. Undersökningen baseras på sekundärkällor ur ett naturvetenskapligt perspektiv. Studien erhåller ett resultat som påvisar att företag som ingår i hållbarhetsindexet tenderar att vara mer lönsamma än företag som inte ingår genom att redovisningsbaserade mått, bruttomarginal och avkastning på totalt kapital (ROA), har applicerats. Studiens slutsats blir att CSR-arbete kan öka lönsamheten i nordiska företag genom att bli inkluderade i DJSI, studien visar dock att placeringen i indexet inte har någon betydelse. Därav blir studiens bidrag att motivera företag till ett större åtagande av hållbarhetsarbete eftersom CSR kan generera högre lönsamhet. / Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a current topic which aims to encourage companies to be more responsible as an societal actor, both from an economic, environmental and social perspective. The consequences of the globalization may not only affect the internal business environment, it will also affect the surrounding society and individuals, which together creates a demand for CSR. As a societal actor, companies needs to include ethical and philanthropic responsibilities, and not only take economic and legal aspects into consideration. Currently, CSR is a voluntary commitment and to motivate companies to embrace the responsibility for the society, this study aims to investigate, from a Nordic context, whether companies’ sustainability work generates profitability.   The study is based on Nordic listed companies included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World (DJSI), which is an index where the top performing sustainability companies can qualify for an inclusion. The correlation between CSR and profitability will be studied through a deductive quantitative method to explain what impact Corporate Social Performance (CSP) has on Corporate Financial Performance (CFP) during the years between 2010-2016. Furthermore, the differences in profitability between companies included in DJSI matched Nordic companies that are not included in the index will be investigated. From a scientific perspective, the survey is based on secondary sources. The results of the study indicates that companies included in the sustainability index tend to have an improved profitability than companies that are not included. This by applying the accounting-based measures gross margin and return on assets (ROA). The conclusion of the study is that CSR can improve profitability among the Nordic companies by an inclusion in DJSI, but the study shows that the placement in the index does not have an impact. Hence, the contribution of this study is to motivate companies to a greater commitment to sustainability because CSR can generate improved profitability.

A different attitude towards the environment and society by companies is needed so that they can have financiai returns and attract investment. Thus, indicators were created to measure the market value of companies that invest in social and environmental responsibility. In Brazil, the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) was built by BVM&FBOVESPA. This study aims to comparatively analyze the performance of economic and financiai resources between cornpanies listed on the ISE and of companies listed on the IBOVESPA, both of BM&FBOVESPA. For this analysis two notional portfolios were structured from 2012 to 2016: a composite with companies listed only in the ISE and another, with companies listed in the IBOVESPA, excluding those that make up the ISE. The analyzes were performed using statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics and significance test. The statistical tests compared the average value of each indicator of the companies that are in the ISE with the average value of each indicator of the companies that are in the IBOVESPA. The result of the analysis led to the observation that there is apparently no positive relationship between economic and financiai indicators and the investment in sustainability and corporate social responsibility by companies that are in ISE. Although the ISE has a differentiated notional portfolio for providing an investment environment compatible with the demands of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, the performance ofthe indicators is similar to the performance ofthe IBOVESPA indicators. / A preocupa??o em rela??o ? sustentabilidade e ? responsabilidade social n?o ? mais somente dos ambientalistas, alcan?ando atualmente a sociedade como um todo e, principalmente, as empresas e investidores. Uma postura diferenciada em rela??o ao meio ambiente e ? sociedade faz-se necess?ria para que as empresas possam ter retornos financeiros e capta??o de investimento. Diante do exposto, foram criados indicadores para medir a valoriza??o de mercado das empresas que investem em responsabilidade social e ambiental. No Brasil, foi criado o ?ndice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) pela BM&FBOVESP A. Este estudo objetiva analisar comparativamente o desempenho de indicadores econ?mico-financeiros entre empresas que comp?e o ISE e de empresas que comp?e o IBOVESPA, ambos da BM&FBOVESP A. Para tal an?lise, se estruturaram duas carteiras te?ricas de 2012 a 2016: uma composta com empresas listadas unicamente no ISE e outra, com empresas listadas no IBOVESPA, exclu?das aquelas que comp?em o ISE. As an?lises foram realizadas por meio de m?todos estat?sticos, como estat?stica descritiva e teste de signific?ncia. Os testes estat?sticos compararam o valor m?dio de cada indicador das empresas que est?o no ISE com o valor m?dio de cada indicador das empresas que est?o no IBOVESP A. O resultado da an?lise levou a observar que aparentemente n?o h? diferen?a de m?dias entre indicadores econ?mico-financeiros e o investimento em sustentabilidade e responsabilidade social empresarial por parte de empresas que est?o no ISE. Apesar do ISE possuir uma carteira te?rica diferenciada por propiciar um ambiente de investimentos compat?veis com as demandas de sustentabilidade e de responsabilidade social empresarial, o desempenho dos indicadores ? semelhante ao desempenho dos indicadores do IBOVESP A.

自1990年代中期，隨著環保、消費者權利、童工…等這些議題被廣泛檢討，越來越多人同意各別公司與整個社會是價值共享且相互依存的，若要達到共存共榮的理想，則公司必定要將社會責任融入其自身追求競爭力和商業策略的核心架構中。企業社會責任(Corporate Social Responsibility)並無公認標準，但一般泛指企業除了追求股東的利益極大化外，還必須兼顧員工、顧客、供應商、合作夥伴、社區團體、環境…等。 道瓊永續性指數(Dow Jones Sustainability Index)為現今資本市場衡量企業社會責任的標竿指數，而企業名列在被大眾認可的永續性指數上，就是企業可以傳達給利益相關者(stakeholders)，表明他們注重企業社會責任的訊號之一。藉由研究企業被涵蓋在聲譽卓著的永續性指數之內是否能為股東創造價值，本論文將探討企業永續發展和企業價值之間的複雜關係。 本研究利用傾向分數配對法(Propensity Score Matching)，降低進入與退出道瓊永續性指數這兩組公司間的異質性，以求得出的結果較不受公司規模、財務槓桿、產業等外在其他因素干擾。將2002至2009年間的樣本數配對後，以道瓊永續性指數作為企業社會責任之代理變數，以累積異常報酬率(Cumulative abnormal return)代表為股東創造之財富，我們追蹤資本市場對於企業進入和退出道瓊永續性指數的反應，來探討股東是否認同公司參與企業社會責任是創造價值之行為。 本研究結果顯示如下: 第一、當企業被加入道瓊永續性指數時，該企業之股東將獲得正向且顯著性的累積異常報酬率，這代表名列著名的的永續性指數是一個股東認可，且企業應追尋的目標。第二、當企業被道瓊永續性指數剔除時，該企業之股東將獲得負向但不顯著的累積異常報酬率。因此我們至少可以推論，從事企業社會責任活動，並不會破壞企業整體之價值。 / Corporate social responsibility (CSR) gradually becomes an important corporate strategy to every company in the worldwide economy. The social performance of a firm can shape the images to key stakeholders, no matter they are employees, suppliers, customers or investors, and influence decision making and relationships with the firm in the later stage. While corporations are busy engaging and enhancing CSR practices, there are few established empirical research on CSR effects and relevance in the capital markets. Hence, my thesis explores the relationship between corporate sustainability and firm value by asking whether membership on a recognized sustainability index is value generating. As stakeholders are urging that firms demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, one signal that companies can send to stakeholders to indicate that they are sustainable is membership on a recognized sustainability index. My research investigates this issue by tracing the market reaction to corporate entries and exits from Dow Jones Sustainability Index, recognized as a CSR benchmark, between 2002 and 2009. Instead of using regression models, I employ a propensity score matching (PSM) pairs design to overcome heterogeneity between different firms. My thesis highlights two main findings: a significant share price rising trend in cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) of the samples under the addition situation, suggesting that inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) is a goal that firms should pursue. Another is an insignificant negative stock market reaction while firms are removed from the DJSI, and I can draw from the results that, at the very least, adopting CSR doesn’t deteriorate the value of the firms. Our results suggest that the benefits of being included on the DJSI outweigh or equal to the costs associated with applying a membership on DJSI.

Nesta mesma linha, este trabalho utilizou o método de estudos de eventos para verificar se entre 2005 e 2013 houve retornos anormais quando as empresas entraram e saíram do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE). Além de contemplar um período mais atualizado do que seus precedentes, este estudo difere-se dos demais ao analisar o as observações individualmente e ao buscar estabelecer uma relação dos retornos anormais acumulados com as variáveis governança corporativa, tamanho, rentabilidade e alavancagem. Os resultados mostraram que embora não haja evidências conclusivas quando os casos são tomados individualmente, em conjunto eles indicam que a inclusão e a exclusão do ISE geram retornos anormais significativos, positivos e negativos respectivamente, em linha com a teoria dos stakeholders. Quanto às variáveis de controle, nenhuma apresentou relação com os retornos anormais acumulados. / Among the growing volume of publications about sustainability and finance, several international and Brazilian studies regarding the relationship between companies classified as sustainable and the return of their shares have been published. Following this course, this study applied the event study method to verify if between 2005 and 2013 there were abnormal returns when firms entered or exited the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE). Besides accounting for a longer period than its predecessors, this paper differs from others by analyzing the observations individually and seeking to establish a relationship between abnormal returns and corporate governance, size, profitability and leverage. The results indicate that, although there is no conclusive evidence when cases are considered individually, together they indicate that inclusion and exclusion of ISE generate respectively positive and negative significant abnormal returns, which is in line with stakeholder theory. Regarding the control variables, it was not possible to establish any relationship between them and the cumulative abnormal returns.
