Castellum’s sustainability performance stands out internationally

Yesterday, Castellum – one of the largest listed real estate companies in Sweden
– was awarded the World Green Building Council’s top distinction, Business
Leadership in Sustainability, at a ceremony in Verona, Italy. The award is part
of the Council’s Europe Region Leadership Awards, and it promotes leading
sustainable businesses and inspires best practice in sustainable construction,
corporate engagement and sustainable projects.


The organization behind the award, The World Green Building Council, is a global
network focused on sustainability issues in the real estate sector. The Council
is represented in more than one hundred countries. National Green Building
Councils across Europe have nominated companies who lead in sustainable
development in their respective countries for the award now bestowed upon
Castellum. Motivation for the award states that Castellum’s sustainability
efforts, “are clearly integrated into the company’s business model both socially
and economically, as well as environmentally, thus contributing to the
transition to a sustainable environment.”

This is the second time in a short period that the company has been recognized
for its sustainability efforts. Castellum was presented with the “Green Star
2015” sustainability award in September, which means that Castellum is one of
the highest ranking companies in the world in the real estate sector. The
distinction is awarded by GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark),
an international organization working to enhance and protect shareholders by
evaluating and improving sustainability activities in the global real estate
sector. More than 700 real estate companies participated in the evaluation.

Castellum has been working on sustainability issues since it was founded, in the
mid 90s. Today, the company’s sustainability efforts are divided into four focus
areas. It’s about: minimizing the use of resources such as energy and water;
developing a sustainable real estate portfolio; forming sustainable partnerships
with customers and suppliers; and deeply committed community outreach.

“It feels fantastic to receive these prestigious awards in such fierce
competition”, says Henrik Saxborn, CEO of Castellum AB (publ), the parent
company of six wholly owned subsidiaries with properties from Uppsala to
Copenhagen. “The award spurs the entire Group to continue developing our
sustainability efforts.”

“Castellum doesn’t choose between sustainability and economic growth – on the
contrary, our sustainability efforts are a fundamental condition for creating
long-term growth”, Saxborn continues.
