It has long been our tradition at Hufvudstaden to choose materials of high quality that last over time. Today, that philosophy has become even more important and gained new dimensions. What was once primarily about quality and cost efficiency is now also about environmental responsibility and reducing climate impact.
"When you’ve been around since 1915, it’s natural to think a few generations ahead."
Long-term thinking is a cornerstone of our efforts to achieve sustainable development. We plan for the future – not only in terms of durable materials, but also by creating flexible designs and adaptable solutions that can easily evolve as new needs or preferences arise. Our solutions are built to last and to conserve resources over time.
A location within walking distance – right in the city centre
Choosing centrally located premises helps reduce your company’s environmental impact. Our properties are located at key transport hubs, making it easy for employees and customers to reach us by public transport. In Stockholm, all our properties are within immediate walking distance of a metro station, and in Gothenburg, close to tram stops.
"Choosing a city-centre location helps reduce your company’s environmental footprint."
With our prime locations, everything you need is nearby, saving time and reducing the need for transport. In day-to-day operations, this means the dependence on car travel can be kept to a minimum.
We maintain our properties and reduce energy use
Because Hufvudstaden’s business concept is based on long-term ownership, there has always been a strong drive to continuously keep our properties in top condition – not least by saving energy.
In the past, the focus was mainly on reducing costs, but today environmental sustainability is just as important. Reduced energy consumption means saved resources, lower emissions, and better financial performance.
Our own property engineers, operations managers, and property managers play a key role in this work. They know our buildings and systems inside out – and fine-tune them continuously to ensure optimal performance.
