Managing Climate Change Related Risks
As a real estate investor, we have a direct impact on the environment through property development and management. Acquiring low performing properties and extending their lifecycle by improving their efficiency and overall condition, we contribute to the targets set in the Paris Climate Agreement for reaching near carbon-neutral built environment and limiting global temperature rise.
Climate change is a real and severe threat affecting our nature and economy. Genesta’s approach to climate change related risk management and value generation process is incorporated into our everyday practices and decision-making processes. We see that an efficient climate change mitigation process is a way for us to generate value whilst reducing risks.
