Biodiversity & ecosystems
Intact ecosystems are essential links in value chains and affect both the sourcing of raw materials and production processes. In this context, biodiversity is increasingly becoming a factor that influences corporate management.
Stakeholder Management in Real Estate Projects
Building and housing are issues that affect everyone. Consistent and credible communication therefore requires a deep understanding of the interdependencies among stakeholder groups as well as the political and regulatory environment.
Real Estate Development and Real Estate Projects
Real estate development usually takes many years. A consistent communication strategy reduces the risk of delays and increases the likelihood of on-schedule completion.
Climate change & decarbonization
Rising CO₂ costs, changing customer requirements, and growing investor pressure are transforming the economic basis of existing business models.
Real Estate Investors and Capital Markets
How real estate companies, investment funds, private investors or project developers present themselves in the capital markets can significantly affect financing terms. Whether it's a mandatory business performance disclosure or a high-end magazine: it is always about more than risk and returns.
Circular economy & resources
As customers demand repairability as a purchasing criterion and raw material markets become more volatile, the ability to operate circular processes increasingly determines competitive position and access to supply chains.
Decarbonization of Building Portfolios
Net-zero targets, cantonal energy laws and rising CO₂ levies are turning a portfolio's reduction pathway into a core economic issue. Neglecting decarbonization means forgoing upside potential or risking write-downs.
Water resources
Declining regional availability, growing societal expectations, and stricter regulations are turning water management into an issue that extends beyond operations into site strategy and stakeholder relations. Water management is increasingly becoming a location and reputation factor.
Embodied Energy & Circular Construction
As operational emissions decline, a building's ecological footprint shifts to the planning and construction phase. Material choice, the reuse of building components and disassemblability are becoming factors reflected in return potential and value performance.
Climate Resilience of Locations and Portfolios
Heat, flooding and extreme weather are changing the location quality, insurability and cost of real estate throughout its entire life cycle. Identifying and systematically managing climate risks is therefore essential for every investor.
