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 targets 2030 and 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.
In addition to a financial return, a measurable, positive ecological impact should also be achieved. Impact investments have three main characteristics: The intentionality of an investment in terms of positive environmental impact, the management process, and the measurability of impact through relevant key performance indicators.
ESG risks and opportunities are incorporated into traditional financial analysis and investment decisions based on a systematic process and appropriate research sources.
Environmental sustainability criteria: Increase in energy efficiency & reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (reduction paths)
Social sustainability criteria: Promotion of sustainable mobility options and enhancement of the quality of stay and accessibility in new buildings and overall renovations.
Sustainability criteria for good corporate governance: transparent sustainability reporting, ESG task force, specific assessment of sustainability risks.
