Sustainability is part of creating value

Acting sustainably is a part of how we create value. Energy efficient and environmentally certified buildings are high-quality buildings with low operating costs. Being connected to public transport and accessible by bicycle, foot and electric vehicles means a stable customer flow. Convenience, safety and engaging with the local community attracts high-quality tenants and encourages visitors to return. Good environmental performance gives access to green financing possibilities.

Every day, we work to decrease our carbon footprint. Every day, we look to improve our accessibility by public transport, foot, bicycle and electric vehicles. Every day, we strive to be convenient and safe so that all people can feel right at home where we are.

We strive for excellence in action.

We are committed to international initiatives

In 2019, we pledged to set Science Based Targets (SBTs) to guide us in the concrete steps we need to take in order to become carbon neutral by 2030. In September 2021, the targets were approved. The initiative exists to achieve adequate emission reductions. It is a tool that allows companies to set their climate targets so that they meet the primary goal of the Paris Climate Agreement of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, preferably below 1.5°C to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change. We are going to update our Science Based Targets in 2026.

We are also a committed signatory of the World Green Building Association Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment, which challenges construction and real estate companies and cities to work towards the carbon neutral use of energy at their properties by 2030.
