Summary, in English

This study explores a collaborative project between various levels of public administration in southern Sweden, designed to encourage companies to adopt sustainable transportation practices. Conducted with the participation of researchers from Lund University, the project supports companies in developing and annually revising action plans that include specific sustainability goals, assigned responsibilities, and mechanisms for evaluation. The primary aim is to examine the process and effectiveness of these action plans in reducing emissions from commuting and business travel, with a focus on private companies in urban settings. This paper discusses the initial motivations behind the action plans, their evolution, and the rationale for any changes made. It investigates the strategies employed by the companies and explores the reasons behind these decisions.
