Elisa Loitto, Business Director, Trevian Asset Management
According to the standards set by the EU taxonomy, a property that is in use must meet certain criteria, including being highly energy-efficient and primarily powered by renewable energy sources. This implies that the carbon footprint of each asset must be tracked, and its long-term sustainability must be evaluated. With the help of the energy solution piloted in the property, Iso Paja will achieve operational carbon neutrality. This concept can also enhance the energy efficiency of several other properties managed by Trevian.
Matti Niemi, Technical Manager, Trevian Asset Management
Sustainability has been a central theme in the development work of Iso Paja. Actively monitoring the carbon footprint, optimizing energy efficiency, and achieving carbon neutrality are essential to implementing the sustainability strategy of the property. Sustainability is also a fundamental part of the Pharmacy Pension Fund's mission as an investor. The fund aims to reduce its environmental impact by lowering its carbon footprint in its operations and direct real estate investments. Significant progress has already been made in Iso Paja.
Antti Jäntti, Head of Real Estate Investment, Pharmacy Pension Fund
The importance of sustainability in the real estate industry has significantly increased in recent years. The European Union has implemented several regulations defining sustainable business practices, especially regarding environmental and nature protection. In the real estate sector, energy and eco-efficiency measures and the related reporting, in compliance with the appropriate taxonomy, will increasingly direct funding towards properties that support sustainable development in the future.
Reima Södervall, CEO, Trevian Asset Management
Real estate investors and financiers increasingly demand that real estate development aligns with sustainable development principles and metrics. The key is to ensure the long-term sustainability of properties, which Trevian addresses by tailoring customized solutions for each property. The hybrid power plant concept is a significant step towards operational carbon neutrality while also reducing maintenance costs.
Kim Särs, Business Director, Chief Compliance Officer, Trevian Asset Management
Trevian possesses extensive knowledge in the fields of economics and technical real estate asset management. Our analyses consider the macro-level economic environment, future trends, and legislative changes. Additionally, we highly value the customer experience of the property and its users. This provides a comprehensive understanding of the properties, the wishes and needs of stakeholders, and allows us to choose the right strategy for each property.
Elisa Loitto, Business Director, Trevian Asset Management
Although the spread of remote work has affected the occupancy rate of offices, there is always strong demand for the most desirable locations. Pitäjänmäki has long been among the challenging districts in terms of the use of office properties. As for Move, the occupancy rate has increased strongly. The foundation for this lies in our firm commitment to developing the property.
Outi Kymäläinen, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
Renewal is essential because the comfort, functionality, and representativeness of the work environment, as well as the versatility of restaurant and wellness services, which meet the requirements of today's office worker, are increasingly important distinguishing quality factors for both companies looking for office space and real estate investors. Move is a modern and attractive option for those looking for high-quality office premises considering responsibility and well-being aspects.
Outi Kymäläinen, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
We are happy to take part in creating a homelike, cozy meeting place in the Move office property. Sustainability and well-being are the most important cornerstones in our operations.

Our new office hotel in Erottaja2 opens one of Helsinki's most beautiful office buildings for small companies and private entrepreneurs. We want to offer a place where working is efficient and comfortable, and where employees feel good. We invest in the well-being of our community and a pleasant working environment.
Khuong Le, CEO, VillageWorks
It's great to be involved in developing this concept with a renowned operator. Hybrid work has increased interest in flexible workspace solutions, and the city center as an office location has remained attractive. Office hotels offer the opportunity for self-employed people, small companies, and freelancers to be part of a larger community, and they can also serve larger companies as hubs or additional capacity. The cooperation with VillageWorks complements Erottaja2's space and service selection. Erottaja2 is now able to cater for smaller companies too.
Helena Kangas, Head of Office Leasing, Trevian Asset Management
We warmly welcome VillageWorks to Erottaja2. Erottaja2 is a very prominent building in Helsinki with a lot of history and we have been proud to develop and restore it back to its former glory. A community operator like VillageWorks is a great addition to the existing tenant mix at Erottaja2 and will complement the existing and future tenants very well. We look forward to seeing VillageWorks open their new flagship office location.

Adding family housing in the Kallio area is necessary for the development of the city centre. Strategically, this is the general direction many major cities are taking.

Effective solutions and measurable energy-saving and economic benefits prove that we have succeeded in Spektri's asset management. Furthermore, the BREEAM certification confirms the development activities' sustainability and sets the requirement for their continuous evaluation. At Trevian, we consider property sustainability certification the standard for our operations.
Vesa Klemettilä, Technical Director, Trevian Asset Management
Concrete results have already been achieved. The impact on the carbon footprint is already significant in the first years: total emissions in the first quarter of 2022 were up to 450 tonnes lower than in the corresponding period in 2020.
Kaisa Granholm, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
Environmental responsibility is increasingly a criterion for our customers when choosing office space. In addition, transparent monitoring of the carbon footprint on the premises is essential for companies to implement their environmental strategy. With the BREEAM certification, we can better support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals.
Kaisa Granholm, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
Corporations have a significant role to play in mitigating climate change. At Bayer, we want our growth to be both ecologically and economically sustainable and have reduced our carbon footprint by as much as 89 percent in three years, for example, by switching entirely to renewable energy at our Turku production plant. The chosen solutions at the Espoo office premises also contribute to achieving our sustainability targets.
Kati Nyman, Head of Public Affairs, Science and Sustainability, Bayer Nordic
Monitoring the carbon footprint throughout the value chain is an integral part of evaluating the measures taken. Trevian's role is to support companies like Bayer in their climate targets through sustainable office space solutions. Economic growth and sustainable development are mutually reinforcing; sustainability must be a joint responsibility of all industries and a visible part of each company's individual business strategy.

The goal in Duetto was to improve the occupancy rate and increase attractiveness. The renovations were carried out to a high quality while maintaining cost efficiency and respecting green values.
Outi Kymäläinen, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
We continue to believe in offices, and the winners in this space will be the modern, flexible, and well-located properties with strong sustainability credentials. Duetto Park clearly falls into this category.

For Tristan, maximizing energy efficiency is a crucial goal, including at sites in Finland. Spektri has been a high-priority project executed with technically innovative solutions. The pilot project, coordinated by Trevian, has been a good model from the owner's perspective, demonstrating a combination of local cooperation as well as energy and cost-efficiency.
Victoria Yakubenko, Tristan Capital Partners
Improving energy efficiency is vital from both an environmental and cost perspective. However, it is a priority for Trevian to ensure tenants' well-being in our premises. The energy project helps our customers achieve their own climate goals and improve the indoor working conditions.
Kaisa Granholm, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management
Although office work has been in a state of emergency almost throughout Europe, we have taken Duetto forward even more effectively than planned. The business park's location along important highways, outside the downtown area, has played a significant role in its success.
Outi Kymäläinen, Asset Manager, Trevian Asset Management Oy
Duetto has been a strategic success for Trevian, backed by a mutual trust with the owner. In line with the company strategy, Trevian has taken overall responsibility for the property without decentralizing it to several operators.
Risto Vuorenrinne, Investment Director, Trevian Asset Management Oy

We are most interested in construction projects seeking a partner to provide financing. Our dream and goal would be to implement projects that can be described with ‘city’ and ‘green’.

As Duetto's new asset manager, we want to be actively involved in the commercial development of Duetto as part of Käpylä that is locally known as picturesque garden neighborhood.

It is with great satisfaction that joint forces with many parties involved has managed to not only achieve the certification – but to actually offer a truly unique work place for the people in our building.

Jonas Grandér, CEO, Nordika
Wellbeing is a whole ideology for us at Säterinportti.
Antti Venermo, Business Director, Trevian Asset Management Oy
There is a lack of modern, high quality office space in the Oulu city centre. Since Stockmann department store left Oulu in 2017, the property has suffered from significant under-utilisation, but its location is the best possible. We believe that with the right investments and active local asset management, we will be able to create a very functional selection of office, retail, restaurants and cafés.
Amalia Pöyry, Partner, Fund Manager, Trevian Funds AIFM
As a long-term domestic investor, we want to make our contribution for the regeneration and development of the city centre of Oulu and cooperate closely with essential parties such as City of Oulu, BusinessOulu and Oulun Liikekeskus ry association.
