Heismtaden Bostad's Climate and Sustainability Commitment
At Heimstaden, we take a long-term, responsible approach to sustainability. As a major property owner and operator, we focus on reducing our environmental impact and addressing broader challenges such as climate, segregation and housing shortage.
In line with the Paris Agreement, we are working to lower emissions, improve energy use, and strengthen our buildings’ resilience to climate risk. Our climate targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2022, are designed to support the 1.5°C goal and reflect Europe’s ambition to reach climate neutrality by 2050. To support this, we have developed a clear roadmap and committed over SEK 7 billion in investments through to 2030.We report in line with CSRD requirements as adopted by the Swedish legislation, aligning to EU Taxonomy, and TCFD recommendation. We also disclose through CDP and GRESB reporting.Our strategy supports the UN Global Compact and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030.
To support the transition to a low-carbon economy, we have introduced green and sustainability-linked bonds under a dedicated financing framework. This has been independently reviewed by Sustainalytics and found to align with key international standards.
