Revetas Commits to Carbon Neutrality by 2040
This initiative starts with a “Think Zero” mindset in the firm’s investment process and across the businesses, followed by the implementation of the defined “Net Zero” roadmap with the ultimate goal of minimizing emissions in the workplaces, properties, travel and supply chains, all in a transparent manner with regular reports on the progress of each asset and across the portfolio.
Revetas is commited to accomplish this goal with the help of a global sustainability leader by creating a clear roadmap to decarbonization.
This roadmap is divided into 4 main stages:
– clarifying and defining firm’s strategy
– creating a portfolio-wide picture by gathering information from each asset
– in-depth audit of all assets including the identification of areas for further improvement and definition of individual roadmaps to achieve the targets
– the final phase – implementing the action plan and monitoring the performance of the assets going forward
The Revetas Group has already selected an ESG Committee that will supervise the achievements of ESG goals throughout the Group and is signatory to the UN PRI, the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative.
Revetas emphasizes the importance of ESG matters becoming an integral part of the firm’s DNA and is pleased to see that this is already evident through the constant implementation of various innovative ESG solutions across the Group.
“Addressing climate change in our industry is critical given over 40% of the annual greenhouse gas emissions across the globe come from the real estate industry. It is time for each major player in real estate to take leadership on the matter and Revetas Capital has taken a very serious commitment towards EGS policies, with carbon neutrality as the core of our investment strategy for the future. Real estate is no longer about brick and mortar, but the impact in our society and giving back to our communities”.
