Anna Broman:

"We know that the construction and real estate sector accounts for a large share of climate emissions. Key issues for us are energy and the building materials we use. We have control over what we measure, so we know we can influence it. Our overall strategy is to transform climate underperforming buildings into better ones."

"When it comes to calculating scope 3, we are just at the beginning of that work, but last year a project was started to calculate tenant adaptations, which is the part of scope 3 where we have the greatest impact. But overall, it is energy use and scope 2 where our climate impact is greatest. For us, it was a bit of a surprise from the start, but it is related to the fact that we have such a large volume of properties and in relation to that, remodeling is a fairly small part of our total climate impact. However, in a year with a large amount of new construction, it becomes a major burden in scope 3."

"We benchmark between our different properties - an easy way to compare similar properties and to find deviations that can be corrected. In future work, the ambition is to further digitize data flows to facilitate all data collection. Through Our Impacts , we easily identify what we need to prioritize in our climate work and use the report to set new goals and make activity plans for the coming year."

One approach that Anna is happy to send to those who are about to start working with climate calculations in Our Impacts is - Start now! Start now but limit the work and take one step at a time to then scale up. Then work with continuous improvements in the organization. And not to forget - don't forget to celebrate a little when you have reached some milestones along the way. Who doesn't like cake every now and then!
