This thesis analyses the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with Husqvarna Group's sustainability reports as empirical basis. The concept of CSR has been studied and attempted to be understood by several previous researchers, but what remains is that it still is an unexplored concept. The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of the concept of CSR and its associated practices over time. To this aim, discourse analysis was identified as a relevant methodological approach. The purpose with discourse analysis is to interpret the written text, and this thesis is therefore based on the author's interpretations of the empirical material collected from Husqvarna Group's sustainability reports from 2010, 2017, and 2023. The empirical material has been analysed based on Carol Bacchi's "What’s the problem represented to be-approach" as well as the addressed theoretical frameworks, Carroll's pyramid of CSR and the neo-institutional concept of legitimacy. Through discourse analysis and the analysis tools, different discourses have been identified that account for mainly the social aspects of CSR. Diversity and innovation both compose an important part of Husqvarna Group's framing of CSR. In the empirical material, an inclusion discourse and an efficiency discourse were identified. Where the inclusion discourse aimed to solve an identified diversity problem, while the efficiency discourse aimed to solve an identified innovation problem. By, amongst others, attracting more women to the company, they contributed to increased diversity within the company. Through partnerships they believed that increased innovative solutions could be established. To follow the expectations and social norms during the given period, their work regarding diversity and innovation has in an unaffected way shifted over time, and thereby also their work regarding the concept of CSR.

The purpose of this study is to explore and interpret the different meanings and consequences of diversity and its associated practices for the police organization in Sweden. By highlighting possible discourses on the concept of diversity within the police organization and how the police organization presents the concept of diversity, based on that, contribute to an increased understanding of the police organization’s diversity work. Our study is based on a qualitative method, discourse analysis, which has helped us collect the empirical material. The purpose with discourse analysis is to interpret what is written, therefore this study is based on our own interpretations of the empirical material. The empirical material that consists of the police policy documents has in turn been analyzed based on Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the problem represented to be-approach” (WPR-approach) and the neo-institutional theory where concepts such as isomorphism and loosely coupled occur. When studying the police organization, the concept of diversity is seen to be common. The police highlights the importance of having diversity within their organization, which can be seen to have emerged over time. The result of this study indicates that the police organization works actively to make equal treatment a natural part of the organization today. This includes wanting to reflect society and they believe that diversity entails different skills which they want to utilize within the organization. The study also describes three different problem representations which we have identified in the empirical material. These problem representations have in turn helped us to highlight different discourses about the concept of diversity, which has contributed to an increased understanding of the police organization’s diversity work.
