Swiss Prime Site is aware of its responsibility when it comes to climate protection and has been committed for quite some time to contributing towards the 1.5-degree goal of the Paris Climate Accord and the Swiss Federal Council’s climate neutrality goal for 2050. To that end, in 2019 the Company developed a CO₂ reduction pathway for the entire property portfolio and strengthened it further in the reporting year. Swiss Prime Site is using active management principles to implement a reduction pathway well below the 1.5-degree scenario. By 2040, around CHF 650 million will have been invested in achieving climate neutrality over that period for the whole property portfolio. In addition to investments in renewable energies, the majority of the expense will be in building renovations. At the same time, resources will be invested in measures to replace heating systems. In this way, the Company is taking its own steps to reduce emissions as far as possible. Where there are the anticipated unavoidable emissions, we will evaluate additional measures outside the property portfolio to achieve its climate neutrality by 2040.
