Investis Group

Annual Report 2023

introduction

Investis is convinced that sustained value creation hinges on the effective integration of Economic, Social, and Environmental (ESG) factors into its operations, constituting an integral aspect of the Group’s identity across all levels and business domains. By embedding these principles into the core of its identity, Investis aims to drive not only financial success but also positive impacts on society and the environment. This commitment to sustainability influences every facet of the company, shaping strategies across property life cycles and within the Group’s services segment. The Group thrives on aligning these sustainability goals with operational strategies, ensuring that each decision considers the broader impact on the community, environment and stakeholders. The addition of a new member to the sustainability team, and the resources dedicated to it, underlines Investis' commitment to expanding its efforts in these areas, strengthening its ability to innovate and implement strategies that balance profitability with responsibility.

Investis considers all these topics, focusing primarily on elements with high impact for both stakeholders and the Group (highlighted in dark colour on the graph).

Investis’ materiality assessment is a collaborative process involving the Board of Directors, senior management, operational teams and external experts. This comprehensive analysis, conducted annually, assesses financial materiality, focusing on creating value for the Group, and impact materiality, focusing on reducing emissions and negative environmental impacts. The assessment ensures adaptability to evolving trends and stakeholder expectations.

In line with ethical business practices and a wider commitment to human rights, Investis states that it does not support child labour or corruption and emphasises that these issues are not relevant to its operations. This statement underlines the organisation’s commitment to maintaining a business environment free from such concerns and emphasises transparency, integrity and responsible conduct. Furthermore, it is important to note that Investis does not partake in the trading of rare earth minerals, aligning its business practices with ethical business conduct. By addressing these dimensions within the materiality assessment, Investis communicates not only its commitment to financial success and environmental responsibility but also its stance on upholding ethical standards and human rights in its operations.
