Sustainable Investment Approach

We consider sustainability risks and opportunities in investment decisions and throughout the asset lifecycle to mitigate building obsolescence, drive economic value, and create positive community outcomes. Our focus on sustainable energy and resource efficiency future-proofs our portfolio while enhancing operational performance and long-term asset value.

With more than €500m in real estate under management, we actively track the impact of our sustainability initiatives to ensure continuous improvement. We provide investors with clear insights into our ESG performance through our investor reporting, reinforcing our commitment to accountability in sustainable investment.
