Environmental aspects are considered a crucial part of responsible and cost-efficient real estate investment operations. Keva's new environmental strategy aims to considerably reduce energy and water consumption in its properties.
Keva’s responsibility as an investor is not only based on financial criteria; environmental and social responsibility and matters concerning good administration practices are also taken into account. The company's new environmental strategy for 2016–2020 sets out to reduce energy consumption by 7 % and water consumption by 10 % in Keva's direct investment properties.
Keva aims to increase the portion of green electricity to 15 % by the end of 2020. Another objective is to implement environmental classification systems LEED and BREEAM for construction projects and properties. Keva will also acquire certificates for the most significant properties to undergo renovations.
The implementation of the goals is monitored through key indicators, the most important of which provide a view of energy efficiency according to property types. The vast range of other environmentally friendly and energy-efficient procedures that will be implemented in Keva's properties include, for instance, practices that aim to develop energy monitoring and control. In addition, Keva aims to include the users of its properties in the work to reach its environmental goals.
