What We Do – and why it Matters
Our vision is to make the existing building stock more sustainable
The objective of Genesta’s fund management practices is to achieve strong risk adjusted returns in a sustainable manner. The key elements in reaching this are sound and responsible investment and management processes, and strong governance through the entire lifecycle of an investment.
SFDR Disclosure
As of 10th March 2021, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) comes into force. The objective of this is to reorient private capital flows towards sustainable investments. As an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) Genesta has embraced the requirements the SFDR and the associated EU taxonomy and has commenced to formally implement these two regulations into our fund and investment management practices.

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.
