Sustainable Funding: The Future Role of Finance Suppliers in Sweden Promoting Green Real Estate.
Abstract
This report investigates the relationships between Corporate Social responsibility and how it
affects Swedish banks' role in promoting green real estate. The foundation of the analysis is a
qualitative study based on interviews that were conducted on Swedish banks. The earlier
theoretical work describes the essence of the successful implementation of CSR and how this
affects a financial supplier. The theoretical data was based on material from earlier verifiable
articles and books with similar contexts. The analysis is a major part of this report, where a
particular exploration of banks’ role in promoting sustainable development captures its effects on
the banking sector. The respondents explained that the people working within the Swedish
banks’ were satisfied with the overall sustainable development, however, they were keen on
developing it more due to the stakeholder pressure, in doing so trying to protect its reputation.
The bottom line is that the study says that CSR has been developed into other sustainability
development tools that play a central role in the banking sector and also in any other industry. It
is also important that the top management keeps working on continuous improvements regarding
sustainability to stay on top of the markets and to cope with its continuous pressure
