Sustainability report
Avobis Invest AG’s sustainability report provides detailed insights into our ESG practices and emphasises our commitment to sustainable business and responsible corporate governance.
Principles for Responsible Investment
Avobis Invest AG has been a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2022. We are thus committed to integrating the impact of environmental, social and corporate governance aspects into our investment decisions.
Risk & ESG Reporting
Risk and ESG reporting for mortgage lenders, tailored to customer needs, supports you in managing and analysing risks and integrates sustainable criteria to enable sound and responsible investment decisions in the long term.
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 a comprehensive ESG-oriented building analysis to improve the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of individual buildings or building portfolios. This includes an automated property scan, an extended building profile with a GEAK-like assessment, the setting of sustainability targets and their implementation as part of an individual consultation.
- 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.
You have a building and want to improve its energy efficiency and carbon footprint? You are pursuing a development project and want to optimally set it up and implement it in terms of sustainability? You would like support in sustainable construction? You need concrete monitoring of your values? Then contact us. Our sustainability experts will support you in your individual situation.
