6.1 Förslag på framtida forskning
Denna studie har behandlat vad hållbarhetscontroller är utifrån deras roll, arbetsuppgifter och kunskaper. Med tanke på att denna studie studerat flera olika hållbarhetscontrollers har studien kommit fram till generella slutsatser och därmed utvecklat ny kunskap inom området hållbarhetscontroller. Vidare finns det potential till att vidare utforska detta empiriska fenomen.
Ett förslag är att göra en skuggning av flertalet hållbarhetscontrollers under två olika tidsperioder. Den ena under framställningen av hållbarhetsrapporten och den andra perioden efter att denna rapport blivit färdigställd. Detta eftersom samtliga respondenter i denna studie menade att deras arbetsuppgifter skiftade mycket beroende på vilken tidpunkt på året de befann sig i. Genom att göra denna typ av forskning kommer hållbarhetscontrollers roll beskrivas ännu djupare.
Ett annat förslag till framtida forskning är att studera skillnaden på företag som har en hållbarhetscontroller, i jämförelse med företag som inte har en hållbarhetscontroller. Detta för att få fram de underliggande faktorerna till varför företag väljer att ha en hållbarhetscontroller men också om det är specifika branscher eller storlek på företag som väljer att inkludera en sådan roll. Ytterligare en intressant infallsvinkel på denna studie är hur företag som inte har en hållbarhetscontroller lyckas ta med hållbarhet i ledningsbeslut.
