Three types of interventions
Slättö focuses on three complementary types of sustainability interventions:
- Risk mitigation. Reducing exposure to climate-related risks.
- Building green. Developing and managing assets with strong environmental performance.
- Energy performance uplift. Improving the energy performance of existing assets through targeted investments and operational improvements.
The first two are increasingly common across the real estate industry. The differentiator lies in the ability to systematically identify, prioritise and execute energy performance improvements at scale.
Risk Management
Key Slättö actions:
- ESG due diligence in transactions
- Physical climate risk screening and adaptation following the EU Taxonomy
Building Green
Key Slättö actions:
- EU Taxonomy, including 10% lower energy use than near-zero energy building
- Top-tier environmental certification
- Limits on embodied carbon
- Requirements set early in construction contracts to minimize cost impact
Energy Efficiency
Key Slättö actions:
- Ventilation upgrades and heat recovery
- Geothermal conversion
- Gas-to-heat-pump conversion
- Rooftop solar
- AI-optimised heating
- Building automation and controls
The differentiator? The technologies themselves are rarely the differentiator. Value is created through understanding where they can be applied most effectively and deploying them systematically across a portfolio.
