Sponda Sector Leader in the GRESB assessment in 2017
Sponda has again been ranked among the best companies in the property sector in
the international Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB)
assessment. Sponda's result was the best in the Nordic countries within its peer
group. Sponda was chosen as the 2017 Sector Leader, proof of its outstanding
leadership in sustainability within its sector. Sponda received a full five-star
assessment and, for the fifth year running, Sponda was awarded a Green Star for
its responsibility work.
This year, Sponda improved its result in all areas of the assessment. With
regard to the sector average, Sponda took great leaps among other things in
managing sustainability risks and opportunities, measuring and decreasing the
environmental impacts of Sponda's real estate portfolio, environmental
certifications of buildings, and interaction with stakeholders. Sponda also
clearly distinguished itself from others in the peer group with regard to
environmental responsibility in property development.
"We are pleased that our efforts in the area of responsibility work have again
been recognised on the international stage. Our position at the top of a highly
regarded sustainability assessment in the property sector shows that we are
doing the right things in developing our responsible operations. Responsibility
work is carried out in close co-operation with different stakeholder groups, and
I would like to thank all stakeholder groups participating in the development of
Sponda's environmental responsibility for their excellent work", says Hannamari
Koivula, Sustainability Manager at Sponda.
The GRESB survey assesses the work done by companies in the property sector to
promote sustainable development. The assessment, first introduced in 2009,
includes all components of corporate responsibility, with companies evaluated
comprehensively in the areas of company-level responsibility management,
environmental management systems, environmental performance, stakeholder
engagement, risk management, and property development.
The number of participants in the GRESB survey has increased annually, with a
total of 850 companies in 62 countries participating this year.
