With significant progress in the decarbonisation of its managed real estate portfolios, Swiss Finance & Property Group (SFP Group) continues to advance its sustainability strategy. The SFP Group presents its results in its ESG Report 2025, published today in accordance with the GRI Standards.
The CO₂e intensity of direct real estate investments has decreased by around 40% since 2019. At the same time, solar power generation increased by 65% compared to the previous year. As part of its active ownership approach, 26 engagement activities were conducted.
Sustainability as an Integral Part of Asset Management
The SFP Group aims to achieve net-zero emissions across its direct real estate investments by 2050. To systematically manage decarbonisation, greenhouse gas reduction pathways have been calculated for all Swiss investment funds, the SFP AST Swiss Real Estate investment group and SF Urban Properties Ltd. As a result, 100% of the corresponding assets under management are integrated into the decarbonisation strategy. For indirect real estate investments, the Group likewise pursues the net-zero target by 2050 through its climate alignment approach.
“Sustainability is firmly embedded in the SFP Group’s strategy and shapes our decisions at every level,” says Adrian Murer, CEO of the SFP Group. This commitment is reflected both in the continuous decarbonisation of our real estate portfolios and in the consistent integration of sustainability considerations into our products, investment processes and corporate governance.
Responsible Ownership and Transparency
Through its active stewardship approach, the SFP Group exercises its ownership responsibilities in indirect real estate investments in a targeted manner. In 2025, 26 engagements were conducted with providers of financial products to address sustainability issues and promote greater transparency among financial product providers.
The sustainability performance of direct real estate investments was also further enhanced. In total, 180 properties have obtained an ESG rating from Wüest Partner. In addition, three properties were certified under the “Buildings in Use” standard of the Swiss Sustainable Real Estate Society (SGNI), while five further properties successfully renewed their certification.
