JM receives international award for its sustainability initiatives

Ökoworld Lux S.A. is a German investment company that concentrates ownership in companies that expressly implement sustainability initiatives. Of the 250 companies in the world in which the company invests, nine were selected as having the most sincere sustainability initiatives. JM is one of those companies.

Ökoworld recognizes JM as one of the leading companies in Scandinavia in residential and commercial project development. Project development is performed in accordance with a high environmental standard, including low energy houses and green buildings, for example. As its primary business activity, JM prioritizes long-term quality initiatives and consideration of the environment.

"Energy consumption of buildings is currently in focus since climate change in the world is a major challenge. For JM, sustainable urban planning is a matter of taking financial and social responsibility as well as responsibility for the environment. By addressing both long and short term environmental issues, JM aims to be a credible and wise choice for our customers," says Lennart Henriz, Environmental director at JM.

Two of the other award winners are Yes Bank in India, which focuses on microloans for small-scale new businesses, and Manila Water, which is expanding water distribution in Manila's slum area, thus helping millions of people climb out of permanent poverty.
