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. 

Sandvik Group Sustainability is part of the Sandvik Group, a global leader in engineering solutions. We’re committed to conducting business in a sustainable and responsible manner and to supporting our customers in their transition towards sustainability. 

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. 

Work description 

You carry out a comparative study of approaches for evaluating corporate sustainability performance and connecting sustainability-related actions and events to financial impact. The work includes: 

• 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.
