EU Omnibus Directive 2025 : One of the effects on sustainability reporting for real estate companies in Stockholm (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna kandidatexamensuppsats undersöker effekterna av EU:s Omnibusdirektiv 2025 på hållbarhetsrapporteringen inom Stockholms fastighetssektor. Med fokus på rapporteringens omfattning, komplexitet och strategiska integration. 

Studien använder en blandad metodik: dokumentanalys av regelverk som CSRD och ESRS från 1990-talet till 2025, granskning av årsredovisningar från sex fastighetsbolag (2018, 2022, 2024) med en ESRS-baserad sökordsmall samt intervjuer med representanter från Nyfosa, Axfast och Arcona/Veidekke för att belysa praktiska implikationer. 

Resultaten analyserades med hjälp av intressentteori och institutionell teori, visar en dualitet. Direktivet undantar cirka 80 % av svenska bolag från CSRD-krav, vilket kan frigöra resurser för mindre bolag att prioritera hållbarhetsåtgärder, dock kan detta riskera att pausa hållbarhetsarbetet om transparensen minskar.

Sökordsmallen visar en 71-procentig ökning i ESRS-täckning, vilket indikerar stark anpassning till regulatoriska krav. Studien tyder på att förändringar i regulatoriska ramverk inom hållbarhetsrapportering varit en påverkande faktor. Dock verkar de mest betydande faktorerna vara intressenternas krav, branschnormer och kapitalflöden som lägger sig som ett täcke över fastighetssektorn.

Abstract [en]

This bachelor’s thesis examines the effects of the EU’s 2025 Omnibus Directive on sustainability reporting within the real estate sector in Stockholm, with particular focus on the scope, complexity, and strategic integration of reporting practices. 

The study employs a mixed-methods approach: a document analysis of regulatory frameworks such as the CSRD and ESRS from the 1990s to 2025; a review of annual reports from six real estate companies (for the years 2018, 2022, and 2024) using a keyword-based template aligned with the ESRS; and interviews with representatives from Nyfosa, Axfast, and Arcona/Veidekke to highlight practical implications.

The results, analyzed through the lenses of stakeholder theory and institutional theory, reveal a duality. The directive exempts approximately 80 percent of Swedish companies from CSRD requirements, which may free up resources for smaller firms to prioritize sustainability measures. However, this exemption also carries the risk of slowing sustainability efforts if transparency declines. 

The keyword template revealed a 71 percent increase in ESRS coverage, indicating strong alignment with regulatory expectations. The study suggests that changes in regulatory frameworks have influenced sustainability reporting. Nevertheless, the most influential drivers appear to be stakeholder demands, industry norms, and capital flows, which collectively exert overarching pressure on the real estate sector.
