There is an irregularity in the interregional migration in Sweden. An increasing proportion ofthe population is drawn to the metropolitan areas, which creates problems for the smallermunicipalities and towns when their population declines. At the same time, our whole societyis faced with a great challenge: we need to redirect towards a sustainable development, wherethe environmental issues are discussed and dealt with to secure that all present and futuregenerations are given equal opportunities to live a good life.The aim of this study is to, focusing mainly on the environmental dimension of theSustainability concept, examine the attractivity of housing with Sustainability claims. Toanswer this, three research questions were used:? Was the migration motive to reduce their environmental impact a part of the decision tomove, among migrants who had moved to housing with Sustainability claims?? If the motive was a part of the decision, how much impact did it have compared to othermigration motives?? Which factors in housing aiming at Sustainability are considered important by peopleliving in housing with Sustainability claims?The research questions have been answered using quantitative data, gained in the form of selfadministeredquestionnaires which were distributed in four different residential areas withSustainability claims in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden.

The corporate progress in sustainable development can be both profitable and essential for the potential to compete globally. The value of Sustainability reporting may differ between industries and companies of different sizes. The demands for Sustainability reports are expected to increase. By 2010, no previous survey on Sustainability reporting practices had been conducted within Swedish corporations. Purpose: The aim of the current study was to examine Sustainability reports within Swedish corporations during 2010 and to compare the findings with preceding surveys to determine differences over time and between corporations.

As the media attention society on the world climate change, interest in the environment and social impact has increased. This has in turn made even more companies choose to maintain a Sustainability report that contains the three aspects of economic, environment and social impact.

Some trends have come to stay whilst others have shown to be less successful or the world has not been ready for them. (Larsson, a, 2002) Purpose: The purpose with this paper is to look at the historical development towards accounting for Sustainability and to investigate what factors that might have hade an impact on this development.

This study examines differences between private and state-owned companies' Sustainability reports for the year 2010. Three state-owned companies and three private companies in three different industries have been examined. An effort has been put to explaining if differences are related to the owner or to the industry. The basis for this is that the state owned companies are required to present a Sustainability report according to shareholder demands, while the private owned aren?t obligated to present their Sustainability efforts.The study has a qualitative basis, and empirical data have been collected by the authors.
