| description | In the light of the criticism from the Swedish Consumers’ Association towards the actions of modern fund managers on the Swedish Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI)
market, discussions of change has increased. The reasons underlying a change and communication process are scarcely focused on. Thus, grounded on theories in the fields of
Critical Management Studies (CSR), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), change and communication, this study analyses how a change of implementing revised SRI
communication is carried out at Handelsbanken Asset Management, existing motives for the change in communication, and how key actors can affect the process. A participant observation and in-depth interviews were carried out enfolding a discussion that contributed
with a critical analysis and discussion, concluding external motives to be dominant and that key actors of the change process are influential to a various extent. The findings of this study have provided an increased understanding of how a bank’s asset management function
work with and communicate SRI issues. The study has also provided with some critical discussions concerning change- and communication processes, which can act as
springboard for future research. |

The reasons underlying a change and communication process are scarcely focused on. Thus, grounded on theories in the fields of Critical Management Studies (CSR), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), change and communication, this study analyses how a change of implementing revised SRI communication is carried out at Handelsbanken Asset Management, existing motives for the change in communication, and how key actors can affect the process. A participant observation and in-depth interviews were carried out enfolding a discussion that contributed with a critical analysis and discussion, concluding external motives to be dominant and that key actors of the change process are influential to a various extent. The findings of this study have provided an increased understanding of how a bank’s asset management function work with and communicate SRI issues. The study has also provided with some critical discussions concerning change- and communication processes, which can act as springboard for future research. I ljuset av kritiken från Sveriges Konsumenter riktad mot moderna fondförvaltares agerande på den svenska marknaden för ansvarsfulla investeringar har en diskussion för förändring vuxit fram. Underliggande motiv till en förändrings- och kommunikationsprocess har inte uppmärksammats tidigare. Således, grundad på teorier inom områdena Critical Management Studies (CSR), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), förändring och kommunikation, analyserar den här studien hur en förändringsprocess av att implementera ett nytt kommunikationsarbete med ansvarsfulla investeringar utförts på Handelsbankens enhet för kapitalförvaltning, befintliga motiv för kommunikationsförändringen och hur huvudaktörer kan påverka processen. En deltagande observation och djupgående intervjuer genomfördes vilka resulterade i en analys och diskussion med utgångspunkt i kritiska perspektiv. Studiens resultat har bidragit till en ökad förståelse för hur en banks kapitalförvaltningsfunktion kommunicerar arbetet med ansvarsfulla investeringar. Studien har även bidragit till kritiska diskussioner av förändrings- och kommunikationsprocesser vilka kan agera språngbräda för framtida studier.
