Publication of ESG Report

Press releases

The Swiss Finance and Property Group (SFP Group) is publishing its fifth ESG report drawn up in accordance with the internationally recognised GRI standards today. Improved reporting processes made it possible for the SFP Group to publish its report considerably earlier than usual this year. We achieved excellent GRESB results for our indirect as well as direct real estate investments. Having once again calculated the reduction pathway for the greenhouse gases emitted by the direct real estate investments under its management, the SFP Group can confirm another contraction.

Our Approach

With the undertaking to achieve "net-zero" for all products managed by us by 2050, we are making a tangible contribution to decarbonisation, as is demonstrated by the greenhouse gas reduction pathways.

The SFP Group is well aware of the responsibility of the real estate sector to help alleviate the negative impact of climate change. After all, the property sector accounts for some 40% of the electricity consumed in Switzerland and offers huge savings potential. The SFP Group therefore places great emphasis on building decarbonisation for its direct as well as indirect real estate investments.

Progress and Ambitions

The Group company Swiss Finance & Property Ltd has been a GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) Investor Member since 2021 and is able to evaluate the majority of Swiss and global indirect real estate investments.

The GRESB results for the five real estate vehicles managed by Swiss Finance & Property Funds Ltd were published for the first time in the reporting year. As the portfolio and asset management team was able to provide valid and comparable data, all products earned excellent results. To further improve their quality and comparability, the environmental indicator calculations for the five products were standardised in accordance with the REIDA CO₂e report “Methodische Grundlagen” for the first time.

In addition to its undertaking to achieve "net-zero" by 2050, the SFP Group takes responsibility for its impact on the environment, society and the economy, and continuously reduces its environmental footprint.
