Introduction | Ina Invest

Sustainability is part of our DNA. Everything we do across the board and in all project phases is designed to ensure careful and conservative use of natural resources even as we strive to achieve long-term economic prosperity and maintain social cohesion.

Sustainability as part of our DNA

We are in no doubt that real estate can only be profitable in the long term if it is consistently developed, executed, operated both during its life and at the end of it according to the requirements of current and future generations. To live up to this aspiration, we have firmly established sustainability in our work. It is a responsibility, a competitive factor and a driver of innovation in one. It acts as an engine that impels us every day to make our vision of maintaining and developing the most sustainable real estate portfolio in Switzerland a reality.

Our goals

We are seeking to achieve 14 goals by 2025. To the ESG goals.

Environment

Each project is certified in accordance with the requirements of an energy and/or sustainability certificate. We seek to achieve a 5-star Green Star rating according to the GRESB Benchmark Assessment across the entire portfolio.

Not on target

Environment

We will reduce our revenue-adjusted CO 2 emissions from our operations by at least 3% per year and will therefore be compatible with the 1.5 degree target of the IPCC.

Not on target

Environment

Wherever possible, we bank on compact structures and renewable energies. We will cover the remaining amount required with green electricity.

Not on target

Environment

In terms of emissions caused by materials (embodied emissions), we are aiming, in accordance with the decarbonisation strategy, to achieve net zero by 2040 for new buildings. To help us do this, we bank on systems and building materials with low levels of grey energy, grey emissions, and pollutants.

Not on target

Environment

At project level, we bank on measures to increase the resilience of buildings to future climate-induced risks.

Not on target

Environment

In acquisition, planning and development, we focus fully on the separability of materials, flexible use and service life.

Goal achieved

Environment

When selecting projects, we focus solely on urban regions and selected agglomerations with good connections to public transport (class A and B). Users are accordingly expected to be able to bank on slow traffic and public transport entirely.

Goal achieved

Economy

We carry out a life cycle costs analysis for each project at the planning and development stage and take account of the findings with respect to long-term servicing and maintenance costs gleaned therefrom when deciding on our investments.

Goal achieved

Economy

We use the BIM model to record all materials used and thus lay the foundations for closing material cycles and collecting the residual value of the material at the end of the real estate’s life.

Goal achieved

Economy

In acquisition, planning and development, we also base our decisions on the criteria flexible use, separability and service life.

Goal achieved

Economy

We work with partners that are committed to sustainability, and incorporate this requirement in the contracts awarded for projects. We also ask our partners to ensure their supply chains are sustainable.

Goal achieved

Society

With each project, we seek to achieve a high degree of comfort by banking on high standards in terms of daylight, air quality and thermal comfort.

Goal achieved

Society

Through our projects, we seek to contribute to the sociocultural and demographic mix at the respective location, and take account of the local municipalities’ relevant aims and strategies by participating in their processes.

Goal achieved

Society

We make users of our buildings aware of sustainability topics and encourage them to discuss these matters with each other.

On the way to net zero

In the long term, we aim to completely decarbonise the construction and operating emissions of our portfolio and play a pioneering role in achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement. With our ambition to decarbonise new buildings by 2040 and existing buildings by 2050, we are making a significant contribution to this.
