Sustainability

Our sustainability approach

The fund management pursues the goal of net-zero CO₂ of the portfolio by 2050 with regard to heat and electricity supply. The aim is to comply with a CO₂ reduction pathway that corresponds to the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement and the net-zero target set by the Swiss Federal Council by 2050.

The fund management company pursues ESG integration as a sustainability approach and strives for a sustainable investment policy. When selecting and managing investments, environmental (E) and social (S) criteria as well as aspects of responsible corporate governance (G), the so-called ESG criteria, are given appropriate consideration in all phases of the property investment process (acquisition of existing properties, project developments, construction, conversion and refurbishment projects, portfolio and asset management).
