Sustainability

At North Wind Capital, we recognise that asset management has a direct impact on people, places, and the planet.

Our sustainability framework integrates ESG considerations into our investment strategies and business practices. We align with values that enhance society and the environment within a governance structure that fosters accountability and trust among investors, partners, tenants, and the communities where we invest.

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.

Sustainability in Practice

Across our portfolio, we partner with best-in-class firms to deliver future-proofed buildings that meet evolving regulatory and occupier requirements. Our sustainability initiatives align with local and national guidelines and industry-leading benchmarks, including BREEAM Excellent ratings, carbon reduction strategies, energy efficiency measures, and urban biodiversity enhancements.
