The funds of a.s.r. real assets continue to demonstrate clear progress in ESG performance, driven by sustainable portfolio management and climate adaptation. These sustainability achievements are reflected in outperformance in the GRESB benchmark within their respective peer groups. For many years, a.s.r. real assets funds have consistently achieved high scores in this benchmark, underlining our ongoing commitment to sustainable portfolio management.
Farmland fund makes progress in emissions reduction and climate adaptation
Sustainability is firmly embedded in the farmland portfolio, with tangible progress in sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation. At the same time, nitrogen and greenhouse gas emissions are declining, supported by scalable solutions such as emissions reduction plans and soil improvement. As 100% of new lease agreements include a green lease clause, exposure to green leases continues to increase steadily.
Real estate funds on track towards net zero
The real estate funds are on track to achieve net zero portfolios by 2045. The majority of the portfolios consist of buildings with energy label A, while the increasing use of renewable energy and a targeted approach towards the net zero ambition contribute to reducing energy and carbon intensity. In the coming years, the funds will continue to focus on renovations and sustainable acquisitions to further reduce environmental impact.
At the same time, the funds remain committed to addressing key societal challenges by contributing to affordable housing, vibrant city centres and science park ecosystems in the Netherlands. In addition, our wind and solar parks generate renewable energy for more than 218,000 households in the Netherlands.
