Ports around the world as well as part of the local societies also deal with sustainability issues. The sustainability work performed by each port needs to be assessed and report. For this the sustainability report can be used. In this master thesis, a sustainability assessment of the Gothenburg Port Authority has been conducted aiming to investigate the link between organisational structure and the sustainability work performed in the organisation. The sustainability report of the Gothenburg’s Port Authority has been used as a tool to assess the organisation’s sustainability work.

(workshop held May 19) May 17-May 31 Writing final report 1 City profile: Situated on the west coast of Sweden, Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden with a population of approximately 540,000 people. In its metropolitan area, closer to a million peo- ple reside. The city is historically a centre of trade and shipping and the port of Gothenburg is the largest port in the Nordic countries. Apart from trade, also manufacturing and industry has played a significant role in the city‟s growth and development with major companies such as Volvo, SKF and Ericsson originating in Gothenburg. Over the last couple of decades, the city has however undergone a shift from industrial production to high-tech, knowledge-based and service industries. This development is not necessarily equally distributed and the city is struggling with growing socio-economic disparities. The city is divided into ten city districts with significant administrative responsibilities. The built up area stretch into three other municipalities, Partille, Mölndal and Härryda. Gothen- burg is also the metropole of the Gothenburg region that consist of 13 municipalities.

  • News from Gothenburg & West Sweden 2021
    NEWS FROM GOTHENBURG & WEST SWEDEN 2021 West Sweden is currently taking big steps towards becoming a sustainable destination! Stepping up Sustainability is West Sweden’s joint initiative for sustainable tourism. It’s a framework for us, together with public and private operators, to bring about a shift to a sustainable society. We hope that all of us working in West Sweden’s tourism industry can set an example and inspire others in the transition to a sustainable society. This newsletter will focus on how Gothenburg and West Sweden are stepping up sustainability initiatives with a combination of new accommodation offering nature-based activities in incredible settings, and an additional Pilgrim Trail. We’d like to highlight these sustainable initiatives in the hope that they inspire and motivate us all to step up our work on sustainability. Welcome to West Sweden! A STRONG FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY IN WEST SWEDEN AND GOTHENBURG Stepping up Sustainability is West Sweden’s joint initiative for sustainable tourism. Since its launch in 2020 several municipalities of West Sweden’s 49 municipalities and over 250 companies in the tourism and hospitality sector have signed up, committed to following the four key principles: • As little unnecessary environmental impact as possible • Good for both residents and visitors • More visitors when and where places are not full • More full-time jobs and more robust businesses These four principles will guide the choices made when developing and marketing tourism in West Sweden.
