Sustainability

Avobis pursues strict sustainability criteria - not only in our business operations and investment processes, but also when advising and implementing sustainable property developments for our clients. We define the sustainability goals for each project individually and realise them in accordance with current standards.

Regulatory framework for institutional real estate investors

Investing prudently and sustainably in real estate also means knowing and observing the rules. Depending on the investor profile, different standards are applied, for example:

  • FINMA Circulars: The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority defines the disclosure requirements in the area of climate-related financial risks in its circulars.
  • Self-regulation of banks: The Swiss Bankers Association issues guidelines for mortgage providers to promote energy efficiency.
  • ASIP-Reporting Standard für ESG (in German): Der Schweizerische Pensionskassenverband legt den Standard fest für das ESG-Reporting von Pensionskassen.

Sustainable property development

We take various dimensions and aspects into account for sustainable property development:

  • Analyse: We conduct comprehensive portfolio or individual building analyses. Depending on the customer’s needs, the goal may be a general improvement of sustainability aspects or a specific optimisation of CO2 emissions. We have the option of quickly checking property portfolios using automated checks or assessing them as accredited evaluators based on the Swiss Sustainable Real Estate Index (SSREI). Evaluating existing properties according to SSREI can also improve the GRESB rating.
  • Development: Not only the real estate should be sustainable, but also the process behind it. We develop sustainable real estate projects from strategic planning to realisation.
  • Building: We know what is important in sustainable construction. Suitable concepts, materials and products are integrated into the building process in such a way that both optimum energy efficiency and comfort and minimisation of grey energy are achieved.
  • Operation: Sustainability in operation means consistent monitoring of the planning values. Low emissions protect the environment and, thanks to the reduction in ancillary costs, the tenants’ wallets. At the same time, they increase the potential net income for the owner.
