Our ESG Strategy

To develop our ESG strategy, we formed an interdisciplinary team comprising corporate management, asset management, and external consultants. Our key elements addressed during the strategy definition process included:

  • Corporate, Environment, and Real Estate Portfolio Analysis
  • Material Topics Definition and Prioritization
  • Targets, Actions, and Roadmap

Our sustainability strategy is built on three key pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). Each pillar represents a distinct focus area with long-term ambitions and specific targets:

1. Environment

Minimize greenhouse gas emissions: We aim to increase energy efficiency and prioritise the use of renewable energy in all our properties to reduce our carbon footprint.

Adapting to climate change: We have analysed the climate risks for each property, with the goal of ensuring that our portfolio does not harm the environment. 

2. Social

Tenant satisfaction and awareness: Our goal is to actively engage with our tenants to ensure their satisfaction and raise awareness of sustainable practices in our properties. By maintaining regular dialogue with our tenants, we are able to respond even more specifically to our tenants’ wants and needs and better align our properties to market demands. Enhancing tenant satisfaction is one of our top priorities as it is a crucial factor in maintaining a high occupancy rate and fostering a positive environment within our properties.

Employee wellbeing and equality: Our employees are essential to our success, and we prioritise their well-being, security, and equal treatment, promoting diversity and equal opportunities. We strive to cultivate a fair management culture, provide individual support, and generally foster respectful interactions between our team members to enhance employee satisfaction and performance. Diversity and equal opportunities are key aspects of our company’s culture.

Comfortable spaces for building users: Our goal is to design and develop spaces that promote the health and well-being of our building users. We are committed to providing the highest levels of quality and creating pleasant working environments within our properties.

3. Governance

Code of Conduct: EPH has complied the code of conduct with the primary objective to uphold high
standards of business conduct and ethical behaviour and to prevent money laundering, the financing of terrorism, criminal activities, and corruption.

Policies and Procedures: We take a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and have implemented a set of policies and procedures which create awareness towards potential fraud and ensure sufficient controls to prevent fraud.

Transparency: Serious approach towards transparent reporting of financial and non-financial
information to shareholders and stakeholders.
