Environmental certification of our properties


Eastnine uses sustainability certifications, issued for the properties, as a tool to ensure a reduced environmental impact and a high standard working environment of our tenants. Sustainability certification is used as a tool to confirm that we provide our tenants with a high-quality product, not just in terms of sustainable use of resources and environmentally friendly systems, but also to ensure the tenants’ long-term satisfaction by contributing to good health and well-being.

According to Eastnine’s strategy, a certification process shall be initiated within 12 months of the acquisition of a non-certified property. At year-end 2022, 94 per cent of the area was certified with at least LEED Gold or BREEAM Outstanding (the highest level achievable within BREEAM). Our goal is that the properties shall be certified at the level of at least LEED Gold or BREEAM Excellent.

During 2022, Eastnine carried out a pilot project within the Fitwel health certification system, which is targeted at assessing people’s health and well-being. Our property Valdemara Centrs received two stars in Fitwel for its public areas, adapted for the increased well-being of the staff employed by our tenants.
