We continue to deliver some of the greenest buildings in our target markets.
Real estate is considered a high-impact sector for urgent mitigation and action on climate change. The sector faces significant transition risks as economies decarbonise. Real estate owners and operators carry the responsibility to identify, understand, manage and where possible mitigate environmental, social and economic impacts and to act proactively.
We believe that taking into consideration environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors lead to stronger long-term economic performance for all our stakeholders and generates broader environmental and social benefits. Investing in ESG reduces risk, enhances returns to our investors and makes our assets more attractive.
ESG factors play a pivotal role in our core values and investment strategies. We strive to embed ESG best practices in our core business strategy and throughout our value chain from pre-investment analysis to asset management, risk management and operating activities.
Ailon’s investment strategies mainly target the mid-market residential segments. By increasing access to good quality diverse rental housing across income levels, we are creating thriving communities.
Ailon implements for each asset a targeted ESG-led modernisation programme, an energy transition strategy and a proptech property management strategy. Each project/asset programme has a strategic plan formulated with clear sustainability targets and identified sustainability risks. The energy transition strategy is designed to make the building more energy-efficient and less carbon-intensive over its full life cycle. The energy transition strategy is broken down in pre-study and risk assessments, energy efficiency targets, implementation of transition and improvements, performance benchmarking and achieved quantifiable performance improvements.
Our sustainability work for new build properties is broken down into the following areas; Energy & Climate, Ecosystems & Water, Climate Adaption, Materials, Hazardous Substances & Waste, Health & Wellbeing and Equal Conditions & Participation.
