Investing in
a better future

Sustainable business and investing are our top priority. We do not limit ourselves to protecting the environment – our approach is comprehensive. Under ESG criteria, we focus on assessing environmental, social, and governance impacts. Our strategy also includes close cooperation with tenants, transparent information sharing, and regular reporting. By measuring, evaluating, and improving the impacts of our activities on the environment we live in, we help create a sustainable economy and society.

What ESG means and our approach

The acronym ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is an internationally recognized term used to assess and compare corporate social responsibility. In addition to generating profits, companies also take into account the impact of their activities on the surrounding environment. According to ESG criteria, companies should meet defined standards in environmental protection, social relations, and corporate governance. Investors often use these criteria to evaluate the long-term sustainability and risk profile of their investments.

For us, one of the main priorities is the sustainable operation of properties. Buildings account for 28% of global CO₂ emissions, primarily from energy consumption for heating, hot water, and electricity use. We want to apply ESG principles to reduce operating costs and increase the attractiveness of our properties for tenants and investors.

When developing our Sustainability Strategy, we considered the interests of all stakeholders – investors, banks, employees, and our tenants. We also included future legislative requirements. Based on our analyses, we have defined our priorities across all three pillars.

ESG pillars

  • Pillar 1

    Environment

    We operate sustainable buildings

    Our aim is to operate sustainable buildings with minimal energy and water consumption – properties that are a key part of sustainable urban development and contribute to the fight against climate change.

  • Pillar 2

    Social

    People matter to us

    As responsible investors, we strive for solutions that enhance the long-term value of our assets. To achieve our goals, we are committed to actively and effectively engaging those affected by our investments – and beyond. We also focus on supporting charitable initiatives, culture, and sports. These activities are an important part of our social responsibility.

  • Pillar 3

    Governance

    Portfolio with lasting value

    We aim to manage our portfolio with lasting sustainable value, meeting both climate and social objectives. It is important for us to consider ESG risks and opportunities in all our investment decisions. From acquisition to management and sale of properties.

BREEAM In-Use is one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment methods for existing buildings, evaluating their operational performance across key environmental and social criteria. For ZDR Investments, this certification provides a structured, internationally recognised framework to verify the long-term sustainability of our portfolio and to demonstrate our commitment to responsible asset management.

In 2024, we launched a phased rollout of BREEAM In-Use certification across our retail parks. The process includes a detailed analysis of each property’s energy performance, water consumption, waste management, biodiversity impact, and overall building operations. The goal is to identify improvement opportunities and continually raise the sustainability standards of our assets.

As part of this initiative, we integrated BREEAM-related metrics and benchmarks into our regular property management and refurbishment planning. This allows us to prioritise energy-efficient technologies, enhance user comfort and safety, and reduce environmental risks throughout the lifecycle of each building.

Examples of measures implemented:

  • Ecological and hydrological assessments

  • Installation of water-saving features

  • Monitoring of potential water leaks

  • Optimisation of cooling and ventilation schedules

  • Monitoring of CO₂ concentration
