The Impact of CSRD on Real Estate Companies : How does CSRD affect real estate companies sustainability work? (English)
Abstract [sv]

År 2023 kom ett nytt EU-direktiv som kallas CSRD, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Den nya lagstiftningen reglerar hur vissa företag ska rapportera icke-finansiell information i sin årsredovisning. Då bygg- och fastighetssektorn bär på ett stort ansvar när det kommer till miljöpåverkan har hållbarhet och hållbarhetsrapportering en stor betydelse i branschen. Syftet med denna studie är att få en djupare förståelse för vad fastighetsbranschen och relaterade aktörer tycker om implementeringen av CSRD och varför. För att hitta detta har insamling av information och data gjorts utifrån en kvalitativ metod.

Resultatet från studien visar att initiativet bakom CSRD är god men att den administrativa bördan har blivit för stor. Många företag har inte tillräckligt med resurser och kunskap för att uppnå kraven för CSRD, vilket resulterar i att man underminerar fokuset på det faktiska hållbarhetsarbetet. Det krävs bättre incitament för att företag ska arbeta mer proaktivt. CSRD är för omfattande, det hade varit lättare och mer motiverande att arbeta utifrån direktiv som är särskilt tillämpade på fastighetsbranschen. 

Abstract [en]

In 2023, a new EU directive called CSRD, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, was implemented. The new legislation regulates how certain companies, in their annual report, should report non-financial information. The construction and real estate sector carries a significant responsibility when it comes to environmental impact which is why sustainability and sustainability reporting are of great importance in the industry. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of what the real estate industry, and related actors, think about the implementation of CSRD and why. To find this, information and data collection has been done based on a qualitative method.

The results of this study show that the idea behind CSRD is good but that the administrative burden has become too great. Many companies do not have enough resources and knowledge to achieve these requirements and focus on losing the actual sustainability work. Better incentives are needed for companies to work more proactively. CSRD as it currently stands is too extensive and that it has been easier and more motivated to work according to directives that are specifically applied to the real estate industry.
