One of our most important objectives is development focused on sustainability. We will continue to focus our attention on this issue and push developments in this area for the benefit of both our clients and our real estate investment solutions.
Sustainability is a key issue for the Swiss real estate arm of UBS Asset Management. This topic will also become increasingly important for the real estate sector as a whole due to rising energy requirements worldwide, the higher costs associated with this, and increasing public awareness of the need to preserve the environment. As a responsible investor with many years of experience, we will also continue to focus our attention on this issue in the future, leveraging progress in this area for the benefit of both our clients and our real estate investment solutions.
Together with our business partners we evaluate, advise on and implement sustainable and attractive solutions for real estate transactions and projects. These include: Acquisition and disposal of properties, project development, asset swaps, sale and rent back, public private partnerships (PPP), energy solutions, «James – serviced residences» and much else.
