ESG Policy

Water and heat supply is delivered from the local municipalities and the sustainability of the heat and water production and delivery lies beyond our scope. While we do not have direct control on how our Clients manage their temperatures in their apartments, we do go out of our way to inform and educate them on local standards and norms and offer advice on heat saving initiatives. We also always go with the most ecofriendly option when replacing water taps, showerheads and similar fixtures, replacing them with EcoSmart water saving fixtures from Grohe.

We have our own inhouse laundry, where we currently wash 1.7 tonnes of Linen a month or 20.4 tonnes a year. As we grow our business activities, that volume will increase ongoingly. Our laundry machines and dryers are in an industrial / professional standard delivered by danish supplier, Nortec. All machines bear the mark SuperEco for a minimal water and energy consumption.

All our apartments are fully furnished and equipped, so we use a lot of furniture, fixtures and equipment in our apartments. We source Furniture based on durability, timelessness in design and renewability. Montana is a danish furniture company. They have their entire production in Denmark and they have obtained the EU Ecolabel on several product lines. We use their Panton Wire products – designed by danish designer Verner Panton. He is known for his iconic and timeless pieces. Fritz Hansen is a Danish furniture company known for the portfolio of major danish design classics, designed by immortal furniture designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm. We use Arne Jacobsen chairs in various forms; the Ant, the Seven Chair and the Drop. We also use Arne Jacobsen stools with aniline leather upholstery Aurnia is our in-house furniture brand, where we have designed the items inhouse. So it is a danish brand with designs based on the Nordic, minimalistic tradition. The furniture is designed and assembled in Denmark. Some of the items are manufactured in Europe and asia. We get some raw materials (steel and marble) is from asia as well.

We re-cycle waste by doing proper disposal at municipal waste plants and our papertrail is fully digitalized to limit unnessecary paper usage. We have limited the use of single-use plastic and we encourage our clients to be mindful of the environment, however we can't control adherence

We have low-energy light bulbs and LED light sources in most properties and light sources. When we come across non-LED light sources, the light bulbs are immediately exchanged to LED / low energy bulbs.

We employ inhouse cleaning staff, so we source cleaning detergents inhouse. All apartments are cleaned regularly – both ongoingly during peoples stay and upon Move ins / move outs. All our cleaning detergents are Eco friendly and “Svanemærket” and staff is trained not to overdose detergents. The supplier is called Totalrent.

In properties, where we have had an influence in the construction phase, there are solar panels in the roofs. Solar panels are currently in place in 5% of the properties we operate. So far, having influence in the construction phase is rare, but it is a future focus point

Appliances that we buy, are always sourced based on energy efficiency and strong energy labels. We do not have complete control of the purchase of all appliances in the properties, as our real estate partners are also installing these before we take over a property. Where possible, we have soft-water-systems in properties to soften the water and prolong the lifespan on appliances.

We have a smaller car fleet of company cars, where a portion uses fossil fuel. We are in the process of going 100% electric as current leasing agreements are set to expire. Other than the car fleet, our staff use electrical bikes, electrical scooters and public transport to get around.
