Sustainability in Evli’s real estate funds is promoted through measures such as energy efficiency investments, energy contracts based on renewable energy, and regular monitoring of tenant satisfaction. The latest responsibility report for the real estate funds outlines the funds’ objectives and fund-specific actions.
In its climate targets, Evli is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and aims to contribute to international climate targets and the transition to a sustainable economy. Specific sustainability targets have been defined for Evli’s real estate funds.
“As real estate investors and developers, we are in a fortunate position to influence the sustainability of our properties through concrete measures. Our operations are also financially sustainable, as investments improve cash flow as well as the attractiveness of properties from the perspective of tenants and potential buyers,” says Tero Tuominen, Head of Real Estate at Evli.
Concrete actions that improve the functionality, energy efficiency, and value of properties are at the core of sustainability efforts. These measures often also improve indoor air quality. Evli also conducts extensive monitoring, enabling processes to be managed so that lifecycle emissions of properties remain as low as possible.
“In 2025, we certified our properties and made several energy efficiency investments. These measures improved the energy performance ratings of our properties and their alignment with the EU taxonomy. We currently have 35 solar power plants installed across our properties, and we use electricity generated from renewable sources whenever we control energy procurement,” Tuominen notes.
We adapt our actions in line with a changing environment and evolving stakeholder expectations
Advancing sustainability is important for real estate funds in light of climate change, urbanization, and the circular economy. Evli actively monitors industry practices and is a member of several non-profit industry organizations, thereby supporting the development of sustainable practices across the real estate sector.
Active dialogue with stakeholders is also essential to meet their expectations and needs. Sustainability reporting, clear communication, and regular feedback collection improve engagement and increase transparency.
“In 2025, we continued conducting regular tenant satisfaction surveys to continuously enhance customer satisfaction among our tenants. The well-being and comfort of our tenants form the foundation of our operations,” Tuominen says.
