Sustainability

With its sustainability strategy, the SF Sustainable Property Fund aims to optimise the properties systematically and gradually and with regard to defined sustainability criteria. ESG requirements are considered throughout the entire investment process along the real estate life and investment cycles.

The investment objective, investment policy and sustainability strategy of the SF Sustainable Property Fund are defined in the prospectus with integrated fund contract. The following is a summary of the sustainability strategy.

The goal of the sustainability strategy of the SF Sustainable Property Fund is to achieve net zero by 2050 at the latest (climate target 2050 of the Federal Council). The targeted impact is to be achieved through a combination of sustainability approaches. Corresponding sustainability criteria and key performance indicators have been defined to implement the sustainability approaches. The focus is on increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustainable Investment Approaches

The fund management pursues the portfolio’s net-zero target in accordance with the applicable Swiss legal requirements, aiming to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by no later than 2050.

  • Targets and interim milestones are based on a detailed CO₂e reduction pathway model.
  • To achieve the 2050 net-zero target, the fund management has defined interim targets for 2030 and 2040.

The fund management systematically incorporates environmental and social considerations throughout the entire value chain when selecting and managing investments, including land acquisition, new construction/property development, and property management.

As part of the acquisition process, all properties undergo a sustainability assessment. The following criteria are evaluated:

Environmental sustainability criteria

  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (decarbonization pathways)
  • Use of renewable energy sources

Social sustainability criteria

  • Barrier-free accessibility of buildings (elevator available or at least 50% of residential units accessible without steps)

By applying exclusion criteria, the fund management ensures that certain properties are systematically excluded from the real estate portfolio if the property itself and/or a commercial tenant has a negative impact on sustainability.

The fund management company has defined the following exclusion criteria:

  • A maximum public transport accessibility rating of class C, as defined by the Swiss Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE).
  • No tenancy agreements with businesses operating in the adult entertainment industry or the defence and armaments industry.
