Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB (SBB) creates sustainable environments in which people want to live, work and spend ti me well into the future. SBB’s locally based property management provides close and direct customer contacts, while SBB’s size provides opportuniti es for making the necessary investments in the properties.
Sustainability is integrated into SBB’s decision-making, investment processes and governance framework. SBB works actively with its core holdings to ensure long-term creation of value and sustainable development.
SBB sets clearly defined expectations for its core holdings to reduce their environmental footprint, maintain a high level of business ethics and ensure transparency in their operations. A strong focus on business ethics is central to SBB’s work approach – we expect all our core holdings to comply with the same high standards and to conduct their operations with integrity, responsibility and respect for human rights. This is monitored through regular dialogue, structured audits and requirements for documented compliance processes.
SBB works continuously to reduce its exposure to properties with high energy consumption so as to reduce the Group’s indirect climate and energy-related risks. This is monitored by conducting quarterly reviews of the energy performance of the core holdings. The target is to have no direct or indirect exposure to properties in energy classes F-G, and for the majority of properties in the core holdings to improve their energy performance by at least one energy class by 2030.
Our Targets
Carbon neutral by 2030 and make buildings energy efficient by 2030:
- Exposure to properties with energy class E or better (target includes indirect exposure through portfolio companies)
- The energy performance of the majority of buildings in the core holdings is to improve by at least one energy class.
