CSR

Assets under management must be energy-efficient, healthy, and safe, thus creating a living environment where both residents, other users, and the local community feel comfortable and flourish.

Properties play a very central role in our lives. On average, we spend more than 20 hours a day inside a property. DEAS Group is responsible for managing many properties across all real estate sectors. Therefore, our work has an impact on the everyday lives and well-being of many people.

Our most important task is to create value for our investors, tenants, residents as well as other users of the properties. Value creation not just measured in terms of the financial bottom line, but in terms of social and environmental sustainability,

says Group CEO Rikke Lykke.

Selected objectives

In 2021, DEAS Group made huge sustainable steps together with our investors.

• Carbon neutral in 2030
  DEAS aspires to be carbon neutral in 2030. In 2021, we have achieved a reduction in our CO2 emissions from our own operations and cars of 8%.

  At the end of 2021, 7.31% of the square metres that we manage was certified. The goal is that 10% of our managed square metres are certified as sustainable by 2025. We expect to reach this target during 2022, thus setting even higher ambitions for 2025.
• From D to C
  In 2021, together with our investors we almost succeeded with the 2025 target of an average energy labelling C for all managed properties.
