Our efforts to fulfill Niam’s sustainability ambitions have continued in 2024. Sustainability is an integrated part of our business model and we carry out our sustainability actions with a focus to increase net operation income, create long-term value and to meet our stakeholders' expectations.
Within the social and governance aspects of sustainability, we developed new goals and clarified some of the existing ones. Along with our efforts to collect high-quality data for assessing and reporting on our progress, these goals form a solid foundation for our work in sustainability.
We are working in many ways to reduce Niam’s negative climate impact. Our efforts go beyond energy efficiency and transitioning assets to sustainable energy sources. We are also improving by reducing carbon footprint in renovations, like at the Life Science Center in Espoo, Finland, where the carbon footprint was considerably reduced through a process of saving and repurposing fixed furnishing and building materials, instead of leaving them as waste (see page 27 in the report).
We believe in promoting social sustainability. One example of that is our ongoing support of collaborative efforts to improve well-being and quality of life in Huddinge, Sweden (see page 33 in the report). In our role as employer, Niam wants to ensure the well-being, health and motivation of our employees. In 2024 we introduced a new measure to this end, the Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), that will provide us with relevant insights in order to make further improvements in this area.
