dc.description.abstractThe challenging nature of achieving Science Based Targets (SBTs) implies that companies must have compelling reasons for their voluntary commitments. In achieving such ambitious targets, companies encounter significant challenges in reducing emissions, particularly in specific sectors like road transportation. This thesis aims to understand the drivers behind commitments and the challenges faced by Swedish companies with these targets. The data was collected through 16 semi-structured interviews. These interviewees were categorized into four groups: manufacturers, customers of transportation, haulage contractors, and experts. Findings indicate that corporate commitments in the studied sector are primarily driven by strategic considerations, including market competitiveness, anticipation of future regulatory change, and stakeholder pressure. Key challenges for transport include technical and infrastructure limitations to leverage zero-emission technologies, total cost of ownership and operation combined with the need for defined and supportive policy and market environments. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted policies and industry support from customers of transportation to achieve emission reduction challenges. It also suggests shared stakeholder responsibility in enhancing corporate contributions to global climate goals.
