Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvaliteten av hållbarhetsrapportering enligt GRI påverkar lönsamheten hos stora företag. Legitimitetsteorin och intressentteorin har använts för att förklara varför företag upprättar hållbarhetsrapportering. Resultaten av studien uppvisar inga signifikanta samband mellan kvaliteten på hållbarhetsrapportering och lönsamhet.The purpose of this paper is to study how the quality of sustainability reporting affects profitability in large Swedish companies. Legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory have been used to explain why companies reports on sustainability.

Inom komplex analys och operatorteori studerar man vanligtvis begränsade linjära operatorer mellan Banachrum bestående av analytiska funktioner. Detta görs för att kunna erhålla information om själva Banachrummets struktur. Ett klassiskt exempel är Cesaros medelvärdes operator på H^p , ett Hardyrum bestående av analytiska funktioner. En generalisering av denna operator är det så kallade Cesaros Inspired by the study of generalized Cesaro operator T_g introduced by Aleman and Siskakis we study a variation of this operator,namely P(g,a) , depending on an analytic symbol g and an n - tuple of complex numbers, a . Regarding the boundedness properties of this operator we prove that P(g,a) is a bounded linear operator from H^p to itself if and only if g is an analytic function of bounded mean

The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con

Bygg kabelkonstruktioner i trä! I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare med hållbara lösningar för att lyckas bromsa den globala uppvärmningen. Stål och betong står båda för stora klimatutsläpp och har efter industrialiseringen varit det dominerande valet av material för stora byggnader. Ett alternativt, hållbart material som lyfts fram att kunna vara framtidens material är trä. Ett exempel på eIn the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. Suspension structures is one type of structural solution that has high material efficiency, here the bending stiff properties of timber could also be utilized in order to increase the s
