- Bygg- och fastighetssektorn är en av de sektorer som släpper ut mest växthusgaser. Under ett enskilt år så svarar byggbranschen för utsläpp av växthusgaser på 21 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, vilket motsvarar 21 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Av det totala utsläppet på 21 miljoner koldioxidekvivalenter så kommer 12,8 miljoner ton från inhemska utsläpp av växthusgaser och 8,2 miljoner ton från importvaror.
Varje företag som verkar inom byggindustrin har en miljömässig, social och ekonomisk påverkan på samhället. För företag som vill ta sitt ansvar så kan upphandling vara ett starkt verktyg för att

Varje företag som verkar inom byggindustrin har en miljömässig, social och ekonomisk påverkan på samhället. För företag som vill ta sitt ansvar så kan upphandling vara ett starkt verktyg för att
bidra till en mer hållbar utveckling inom branschen.Genom att man integrerar hållbarhet i sin upphandlingspolicy, kan organisationer hantera risker och möjligheter för en hållbar, miljömässig, social och ekonomisk utveckling.
Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur företag i byggbranschen använder upphandling som ett verktyg för att få en hållbarare bransch, samt vad som skulle krävas av företagen för att klara ISO- Certifieringen 20400 som hjälper en att nå en hållbar upphandling.
Metoden som är vald för uppsatsen är kvalitativa studier. Inom den kvalitativa studien så har en litteraturstudie gjorts som har haft fokus på hur man ska arbeta för att klara en ISO- certifiering. Intervjustudien har gjorts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med uppmuntrande tekniker, så att respondenterna har haft stor möjlighet att prata fritt om sina erfarenheter.
Resultatet från arbetet har fåtts genom en jämförelsestudie mellan litteratur och intervju. Det man har försökt se är var finns likheterna och vad behöver företagen göra bättre för att klara en certifiering. Resultatet av jämförelsestudien blev att på många områden jobbar man i verkligheten som certifieringen önskar. Brister har dock kunnat hittas där företag behöver förtydliga vissa arbetsmoment för att jobba som certifieringen önskar.
Slutsatsen är att branschen just nu inte är mogen för arbete fullt ut med certifieringen. Dock så jobbar redan många organisationer med hållbarhetskrav i sin upphandling, utan att dem kallar eller tänker på att det är ett steg för att nå en upphandling som är hållbar. (Less) - Abstract
- The building and real estate sector is one of the sectors that emits the most greenhouse gases. For a single year, the construction industry is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions of 21 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which corresponds to 21 per cent of Sweden's total emissions. Of the total emissions of 21 million carbon dioxide equivalents, 12.8 million tons come from domestic greenhouse gas emissions and 8.2 million tons from import goods.
Every company operating in the construction industry has an environmental, social and economic impact on society.

For a single year, the construction industry is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions of 21 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which corresponds to 21 per cent of Sweden's total emissions. Of the total emissions of 21 million carbon dioxide equivalents, 12.8 million tons come from domestic greenhouse gas emissions and 8.2 million tons from import goods.
Every company operating in the construction industry has an environmental, social and economic impact on society. For companies that want to take their responsibility, procurement can be a strong tool for contributing to a more sustainable development in the industry. By integrating sustainability into their procurement policy, organizations can manage risks and opportunities for sustainable, environmental, social and economic development.
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how companies in the construction industry use procurement as a tool to obtain a more sustainable industry, and what would be required of the companies to pass the ISO Certification 20400 which helps one to achieve a sustainable procurement.
The method chosen for the thesis is qualitative studies. In the qualitative study, a literature study has been conducted that has focused on how to work to cope with an ISO certification. The interview
study has been done through semi-structured interviews with encouraging techniques, so that the respondents have had a great opportunity to talk freely about their experiences.
The results from the work have been obtained through a comparison study between literature and interview. What you have tried to see is where the similarities are and what do companies need to do better to cope with a certification. The result of the comparison study was that in many areas one works in reality as the certification desires. However, deficiencies have been found where companies need to clarify certain tasks to work as the certification desires.
The conclusion is that the industry right now is not mature for work fully with the certification. However, many organizations already work with sustainability requirements in their procurement, without them calling or thinking that it is a step towards reaching a procurement that is sustainable.
