For many years we have focused on our core values: long-term, responsible, acting and flair, worked thoroughly and systematically to create environmentally conscious employees and to develop the environmental quality of our buildings.

Our environmental statement

A wide range of instruments have been and are being used. We carry out competence enhancement of tenants and their own operating personnel, do energy analyzes, invest in the buildings and upgrade them with new, modern technical installations. In addition, we carry out ongoing reporting and monitoring of energy and water consumption in the buildings.

In 2006, we worked out what remains a living internal framework – “Energy policy and directive”, and “Environmental policy an directive” for our environmental work. The framework includes both our development projects and the operation of our own buildings.

We have developed very specific requirements for both our own behavior and the buildings, to ensure that we always have a property portfolio with the best environmental profile, and at all times environmentally conscious employees.
