7. Slutsats
7.5 Sammanfattning och förslag till vidare forskning
Sammanfattningsvis anser vi att hållbarhetsrapportering är något som alla företag borde utföra på någon nivå eftersom det finns många aspekter som kan gynnas, inte endast samhället och miljön utan även företag. Därför är det en viktig uppgift för företagen och professionella organisationer att jobba tillsammans för att möjliggöra införandet av ett rapporteringssystem som inkluderar alla som har någon slags påverkan. Det är ett grundläggande behov för att kunna uppnå hållbarhet och bevara våra resurser även för framtida generationer.
108
Vidare forskning skulle kunna riktas mot att undersöka vilka rapporter som har
informationsinnehåll som liknar eller är detsamma som innefattas i en hållbarhetsrapport och hur kommunikation skulle kunna förstärkas mellan olika myndigheter för att spara resurser på det administrativa arbetet med rapporteringen.
Det ska även undersökas mer ingående en större krets av småföretag angående varför de inte utför hållbarhetsrapportering.
