Our Commitment to

ENVIRONMENTAL,
SOCIAL, AND
GOVERNANCE

EPH European Property Holdings PLC specialises in premium quality real estate. As a property company, we recognise our responsibilities to our employees, the environment, and society as a whole. Our primary objective is to preserve the long-term value of our property portfolio while embracing our duty to protect the environment and enhance people’s general well-being. While sustainability criteria have long been a factor in assessing the quality of EPH’s property portfolio, EPH strengthened its commitment to sustainability by conducting an evaluation of sustainability practices across the entire Group, 

with a particular focus on our property portfolio. As a result, EPH has developed its sustainability strategy to internalise values and integrate sustainability into the Company’s business practices, particularly within its core business of acquiring and owning high quality real estate. EPH’s sustainability strategy is built around the three key pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). For each pillar, we have defined long-term objectives and goals to measure our progress and enhance transparency.

Missions and principles

EPH’s main objective is to invest in high-profile commercial real estate, with a focus on long-term growth and stable revenues. Our investment portfolio primarily consists of existing properties and development projects throughout Europe that provide capital appreciation and dividend income. 

These high-quality properties satisfy real estate sustainability criteria, as evidenced by their Green Building Certifications. Implementing sustainable practices in a real estate company involves integrating principles that address environmental, social, and economic concerns. Our business activities are guided by the following seven key principles:
