Turn sustainability insights into stronger decision-making. At Sandvik Group Sustainability, this master’s thesis project gives you the opportunity to compare approaches for linking sustainability actions and events to financial impact, and to explore how they could be applied in a Sandvik context.

Background and scope of the project 

Linking sustainability actions and events to financial impact is a key capability for informed decision-making and the future sustainability agenda. Many approaches to this type of modelling are available today, creating a need to identify models, compare methods and build insight into leading practices. 

The purpose of the project is to investigate and map available models and approaches, then analyze how they could work in a Sandvik context.

• Investigating available models and approaches for financial materiality mapping and modelling. 

• Mapping similarities, differences and relevant practices across the approaches. 

• Analyzing how selected approaches could play out in a Sandvik context. 

• Summarizing findings that support informed decision-making on the future sustainability agenda.
