Castellum is Europe’s most sustainable property company
For the seventh consecutive year, Castellum has been included in the Sustainability Yearbook, which ranks the world’s foremost companies in sustainability. As a property company, Castellum ranks first in the Nordic region and in Europe, and fifth worldwide.
The Sustainability Yearbook is produced by S&P Global, which is a world leader in credit ratings, benchmarks and analyses in the global capital and raw materials markets, and offers in-depth data and insights into critical business factors.
The Yearbook presents the companies that rank among the top 15 per cent in their industries. The objective of the index is to steer investors toward more sustainable investments. In this year’s edition, 7,544 companies in 61 industries were assessed.
“It is extremely gratifying to receive further confirmation that our strategy is effective, and that interest in sustainable investments continues to increase,” says Filip Elland, Chief Sustainability Officer at Castellum AB.
Filip Elland provided several examples of activities that enable Castellum’s successes in sustainability:
- As a step in achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, Castellum has raised the bar for the company’s projects. Starting in 2023, all major projects will reduce their climate impact by 30 per cent, be studied regarding the potential to install energy storage systems, and always be equipped with solar panels.
- In order to identify which properties run the greatest risk of being impacted by climate change, Castellum has conducted a climate risk analysis of its entire portfolio so as to counteract damages and risks in conjunction, for example, with flooding or landslides.
- One of Castellum’s recurring targets, which is monitored annually, is zero workplace injuries and work-related illness among employees and suppliers.
“Sustainability is an integral – and priority – component of Castellum’s operations, and we will continue to promote the necessary climate transition,” says Joacim Sjöberg, Acting CEO of Castellum AB.
