Summary, in English

This chapter focuses on a specific kind of governance namely sustainability governance. Combatting climate change and social inequalities calls for governance systems specifically directed to corporate sustainability. Today our companies are fiercely working on setting up efficient systems for sustainability governance. In this chapter, the reader will learn what a sustainability governance system is and what different parts it entails.By building on Swedish longitudinal data, we identify how large-listed companies work with sustainability governance. Drawing on this data, the chapter highlights some of the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned for the future development of sustain-ability governance practices.
