Sustainable investing is a key principle of PANDAI Capitals approach to value creation. We believe we can have the greatest influence through the investment decisions we make.

We understand that we can only achieve this goal by acting in accordance with the principles of sustainability and aligning all of our business activities with such principles.

We are guided in our actions and behaviour by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) or Global Goals, whereby we are particularly committed to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

 

Climate change is one of the highest priority ESG issues for investors and an increasingly important business issue for companies. We are focused on understanding the challenges and opportunities for businesses posed by climate change in terms of both physical and transition risk. The real estate sector has a special responsibility here, as building construction and operation account for more than one-third of global CO2 emissions. It’s also true that the manner in which buildings, neighbourhoods and cities are designed plays a key role in determining whether these can remain viable in a changed climate. In addition, the real estate sector needs to step up in terms of reducing resource consumption and waste. Pandai Capital is contributing in a positive way that is very unique for an investment company. One can say that our methods for investing and modernization our assets give us an important and effective lever that helps ensure a world worth living in for future generations – and we are very much aware of our responsibilities. We are transforming our investments into more energy-efficient and sustainable properties and thus contributing to greater sustainability in the real estate and financial sector. The use of sustainable modernization methods, in particular those that serve to improve energy efficiency and the life-cycle assessment, is an important parameter that is being addressed consistently in our investment decisions.
