The Vision of a Sustainable Brand a Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige Visionen om ett hållbart varumärke En fallstudie på ICA Sveriges hållbarhetsstyrning The Vision of a Sustainable Brand A Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige Författare: Theo Henningsson (960223) Elias Thorsson (971020) VT 2020 Självständigt arbete, avancerad nivå, 30 hp Ämne: Företagsekonomi Handelshögskolan vid Örebro universitet Handledare: Kristian Kallenberg Examinator: Katarina Arbin Abstract Level: Master thesis in business administration, advanced level, 30 credits Authors: Theo Henningsson and Elias Thorsson Tutor: Kristian Kallenberg Title: The Vision of a Sustainable Brand: A Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige Background: Based on the emergence of the stakeholder discourse, the demands on corporate responsibility have increased. Contemporary corporates must consider sustainability and act sustainably to fulfill stakeholders’ expectations. They therefore need to implement ethical codes and establish a sustainable values foundation in all parts of the organization. In Sweden, food retailers are among the top-rated brands for sustainability, despite the fact that they are operating in an industry with a large climate impact. However, the question remains how individual food retail stores can act sustainably when the words of values statements and corporate documents need to be converted into concrete actions. Purpose: The study aims to increase the understanding of how a Swedish food retail organization operates and integrates sustainability into its internal governance and control practices. Through a case study, the study also aims to increase the understanding of whether or not the contextual factors of ownership structure, size and environment affect the internal governance and control of sustainability in ICA Sverige. Methodology: The study constitutes a case study on ICA Sverige. Data has been collected from seven semi-structured telephone interviews with different individuals who have insight into the organization. These data have been analyzed and categorized through a content analysis. The empirical material has been supplemented with the group’s annual report. To examine how different store profiles within ICA Sverige process sustainability, the study has developed its own theoretical conceptual model. Conclusions: The contextual factors of ownership structure and size are found to have a significant effect on the design and implementation of internal governance and control practices in ICA Sverige. Moreover, the impact of the contextual factor environment is shown to be more uncertain although an effect is identified. Finally, although ICA is a Swedish top-rated brand for sustainability, the study concludes that sustainable processes do not seem to be fully integrated within the organization.

  • Statement of Support for the Objectives of the Cerrado Manifesto We, The
    Statement of support for the objectives of the Cerrado Manifesto We, the undersigned companies, are committed to halting forest loss associated with agricultural commodity production and to working with industry, producers, governments and civil society to protect globally important natural landscapes within a framework of good governance and land planning policy. We recognise the critical importance of the Cerrado for its role in climate change mitigation, as a repository for biodiversity, as the source of many of Brazil’s fresh water systems, and additionally as a production region for the agricultural commodities used in our products. However, we also recognise the extent and pace of native vegetation loss resulting from cattle and soy expansion in the Cerrado poses a significant threat to these social, environmental and economic values. The Brazilian Forest Code is designed to ensure agricultural production and environmental protection are balanced. It is an important legislative mechanism requiring, for example, land registration and compensation for historical forest loss, however it offers little protection in the Cerrado where only 20% of each private property is required by law to be set aside for conservation. This wide gap between tackling ‘illegal’ deforestation and achieving zero net deforestation goals is a cause for major concern. 85%1 of the conversion of native vegetation for soy in the Cerrado is legal under the Forest Code. So while compliance with regulation is essential, at the same time, regulation on its own is currently insufficient for the protection of the Cerrado. Recent research indicates the availability of substantial areas of already cleared land. Incentivising expansion onto these areas rather than further conversion of native vegetation, alongside the improvement of the cattle sector’s current low productivity (to make room for soy expansion), offers a viable and more sustainable pathway forward for agricultural production in the Cerrado.

  • Ekologisk Livsmedelsmarknad
    Ekologisk livsmedelsmarknad Rapport om den ekologiska branschen sammanställd av Ekoweb.nu 30 januari 2020 22 års erfarenhet av ekomarknaden Inledning För tolfte året i rad presenterar Ekoweb sin marknadsrapport. Den skrift du håller i din hand är en sammanställning av den ekologiska livsmedelsförsäljningen 2019. Det är också en prog- nos för försäljningen 2020 och en långtidsprognos fram till år 2028. Siffrorna som presenteras är värde inklusive moms. Vi har även gjort en genomgång av den danska livsmedels- marknaden, i kontakt med Organic Denmark. En beskrivning av utvecklingen på världsmarknaden presenteras också. I år har vi forsatt utveckla kapitlet med råvara tillsammans med Cecilia Ryegård, Agrovektor, samt avsnitt andra ekomarknader med ekoexperten Johan Cejie, Moreganic Sourcing. Ekoweb har under 2019 och början av 2020 intervjuat företags- ledare, marknadschefer och miljöchefer inom detaljhandeln, offentlig sektor och storhushåll angående försäljning/inköp under 2019. Vi har även bett dessa personer fundera över förväntad försäljning/inköp av ekologiska livsmedelsvaror i Sverige 2020, samt deras syn på utvecklingen fram till år 2028. Detta för att rama in aktörernas känsla och förväntningar på ekomarknaden på kort och lång sikt. Marknadsrapporten är delfinansierad av Jordbruksverket. En prognos som sträcker sig tio år framåt i tiden är naturligtvis behäftad med en viss osäkerhet, då idag okända omvärlds- faktorer kan påverka utvecklingen. Det kan vara såväl ny produktivitetshöjande teknik, livsmedelsskandaler eller media- stormar som kan orsaka förändringar i konsumenters inställning till ekologiska varor. Avsnittet med prognoserna bör läsas med detta i åtanke. Lidköping den 24 januari 2020 Olle Ryegård VD Ekoweb - med 22 års erfarenhet av ekomarknaden! Innehållsförteckning Del 1: Utveckling och nuläge 1.
