Sustainability

At Northern Horizon, we pay special attention to the environmental, social and governance aspects of
what we do.

ESG is integrated in our business decisions and operations and is regarded a core strategic measure.

Our sustainability commitments

Paris Climate Agreement

The Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2016, committing the world to limit average warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. As a business owner, we have aligned our business strategy and actions to commit to the global goal.

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, to enhancing the energy efficiency of our properties, and to building resilience to climate change. We do this by investing in the most energy-efficient and least environmentally impactful construction projects.

We are also focused on establishing green zones for biodiversity and for social wellbeing.

Sustainable Development Goals

To achieve the sustainability goals, we have set clear and measurable targets. These targets contribute to nine UN Sustainable Development Goals - UN SDGs 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 16.

Sustainability and Regulatory Alignment

Both of our funds are classified as SFDR Article 8 funds, promoting environmental and social characteristics while adhering to robust governance practices across all investments.

In line with the EU Taxonomy Regulation, we are committed to reporting on our substantial contribution to climate change mitigation, targeting a minimum of 30% taxonomy alignment.

Our funds are also aligned with the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) framework - a science-based methodology for managing climate-related transition risks in real estate. CRREM alignment ensures our portfolio’s energy performance and carbon intensity are consistent with the Paris Agreement decarbonization pathway, mitigating the risk of stranded assets over time.

Currently, our portfolio performs in line with the CRREM pathway, reflecting strong near-term alignment with global climate goals. We continue to invest in energy efficiency and emission reduction measures to maintain this alignment and secure a resilient, low-carbon portfolio toward 2050.

The PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment

UN PRI

The United Nations-supported PRI has six key principles of responsible investment which among other topics also promotes environmental awareness in investing.

As a signatory to the PRI Initiative, we participate in yearly assessments of the responsible investment practices of our Group.
