We involve our customers in sustainability work to create sustainable and attractive campuses that stand the test of time. In 2023, we have complemented our sustainability dimensions to achieve more sustainable campuses and operations. The four dimensions are ecological, social, economic and cultural sustainability.
We take climate responsibility seriously and are transparent all the way, and in our climate budget you can follow our path towards climate neutrality by 2035. To succeed, collaboration with our customers is central and we work actively with collaboration agreements with universities around the country.
Stability despite turbulent times
The Swedish real estate market is navigating challenging times with higher interest rates, economic downturn, energy crisis and global uncertainty. This is also noticeable for Akademiska Hus, which reports negative changes in the value of investment properties of SEK 3.5 billion.
Akademiska Hus has good financial stability with an equity ratio of 48 per cent. Our credit rating of AA from S&P Global Ratings has been maintained since 1996 and reflects the government's ownership and stable cash flows. This financially strong position continues to enable us to make investments and invest in maintenance to future-proof and develop the campus environments around the country.
