Social sustainability

Social sustainability is a central part of our responsibility as a property owner and employer. Through clear requirements for suppliers, a safe work environment, and strong customer relationships, we can make a real difference.

For us, social sustainability means taking responsibility for the people we affect – as a property owner, employer, and business partner. We aim to be a responsible, long-term actor that promotes fair working conditions, business ethics, and respect for human rights across our entire value chain. Together with our tenants and partners, we strive to create safe and vibrant marketplaces. 

Engaged employees

We work to create a workplace where all employees can thrive, feel safe, and can contribute with their unique expertise. Engaged and skilled employees who feel well are the foundation of our strong company culture. We want to be an attractive employer that supports, develops, and retains its people.

Responsible supply chains

We place clear demands on our suppliers regarding human rights, working conditions, and business ethics. A socially sustainable supply chain is an important part of our responsibility as a property owner and client. Through strict requirements, ongoing dialogue, follow-ups, and long-term partnerships, we strive to ensure good working conditions and a safe work environment at every stage. We only work with suppliers who share our values and help drive positive development. Read our supplier code of conduct.

Collaborations

To promote social sustainability, we need to work together. We are part of several networks and partnerships aimed at strengthening the sustainability of supply chains and urban development. Through joint initiatives, we can share knowledge and drive change across the industry. Read more about the initiatives we take part in.

Health and safety 

Creating a safe and healthy working environment is a key part of our responsibility – whether it concerns our own employees, suppliers, or others working in or visiting our properties. We take a proactive approach to minimising risks, promoting well-being, and ensuring that both physical and psychosocial working environments are managed in a structured and responsible way.
