The theme of 2025 has been ‘from ESG to sustainable investments’, reflecting our aim to truly integrate sustainability into the daily practice of our European teams, combining our fund, investment, asset and technical knowledge and expertise. With the adoption of this theme, we will focus even more on creating sustainable buildings and reducing energy usage. 

As an integrated pan-European real estate investment management group, we have achieved the following milestones:

—    In total, EUR 7.6 billion (2024: EUR 6.4 billion), representing 88% of our AuM, is now managed in line with our Sustainability Policy
—    We participated in GRESB, the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark with 6 of our funds. Five of our strategies received 5-star (top-20%) scores: Swiss Residential, Swiss Romandie, European Industrial, Benelux Office, and UK Residential. Our UK Affordable Housing strategy received 4 stars. 
—    The UN PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment) score of EdR REIM increased significantly from 66 points to 85 points (of 100), and 4 stars in 2024 and we continued this score in 2025.
—    Our corporate carbon footprint decreased by 9% compared to last year. This was the result of lower office energy usage, lower emissions from home/work travel and a small increase of the emissions of flights. We shifted towards more use of trains and electric cars and less use of petrol cars.
