Interactions between sustainability and profitability in a transport company (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att ta fram hållbarhetsfaktorer och undersöka hur transportföretag kan uppnå ett gott samspel mellan hållbar utveckling och lönsamhet. Utifrån syftet arbetades förbättringsförslag och genomförbara lösningar fram med hänsyn till krav från kunder, myndigheter och EU.

Metoden som användes var kvalitativ där respondenter från fallföretaget och myndigheter deltog i semistrukturerade intervjuer. Utöver detta gjordes även en litteraturstudie för att kartlägga information från fler perspektiv än bara respondenterna. Under studiens gångs användes även andra metoder där de var lämpliga för att stärka resultatet.

Resultatet visade att det finns flera hållbarhetsfaktorer i ett transportföretag som måste tas hänsyn till, där bland annat val av drivmedel, krav från politiker och kunder var olika faktorer. För att redovisa resultatet gjordes olika typer av analyser såsom SWOT och abc analys.

Slutligen utifrån metoden, den insamlade informationen och en analys samt diskussion togs hållbarhetsfaktorerna fram. De analyserades och undersöktes för framtida förbättringar. Studien av fallföretaget har visat att en kombination av bättre hållbarhet samt positiv ekonomisk fördel går att hitta och balansera. Ett företag kan investera i att bli mer hållbara och bli mer lönsamma.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study was to develop sustainability factors and investigate how transport companies can achieve a good interaction between sustainable development and profitability. Based on this purpose, improvement proposals and achievable solutions were developed with consideration to requirements from customers, authorities and the EU.

The used method was qualitative in which respondents from the company and authorities participated in semi-structured interviews. In addition, a literature study was also conducted to map information from more perspectives than just the respondents. During the course of the study, other methods were also used where they were suitable to strengthen the results.

The results presented several sustainability factors in a transport company that must be taken into account, where, among other things, the choice of fuel, demands from politicians and customers were different factors. To report the results, different types of analysis were done, such as SWOT and ABC analysis.

Finally, based on the method, the information gathered and an analysis and discussion, the sustainability factors were developed. They were analyzed and examined for future improvements. The study of the company has shown that a combination of better sustainability and a positive financial advantage can be found and balanced. A company can invest in becoming more sustainable and more profitable.
