During development, Ina Invest requires all projects to meet the Swiss Minergie standard at a minimum from an energy point of view. In terms of material, we focus particularly on the use of renewable resources, such as wood. We carefully select recognised sustainability certificates and apply the associated standards in line with local and project-specific conditions.

The sustainability quality of Ina Invest’s project portfolio is reflected in our intention to attain GRESB certification. The optimisation of each project is ensured with respect to energy consumption as well as water and waste management. The users benefit from activities relating to ESG (Environment Social Governance) issues that are designed to increase community involvement, social interaction and health and comfort.

We are aiming to obtain a portfolio assessment in accordance with the GRESB standard, which is one of the leading global ESG benchmarks for real estate investments. We plan to use the GRESB methodology to continuously optimise our portfolio’s social and environmental performance. The initial assessment is scheduled to be performed in 2021. We are also looking to obtain a rating from Sustainalytics in order to evaluate and continuously improve our sustainability strategy. The initial assessment for this rating is also scheduled to be performed in 2021.
