Committed to developing sustainable accommodation.
Climate smart
Basecamp aims to develop high-quality, sustainable purpose-built living spaces that enhance communities. We recognise that real estate strongly impacts the levels of greenhouse gas emissions in our environment, which in turn significantly impacts the climate. This is why we are committed to ambitious targets on decarbonisation that we aim to achieve across our properties by 2030.

Our sustainability goals.
Environment.
Reduce impact
Development: Carefully evaluate and select the most efficient designs to use low carbon materials and work cooperatively with local communities and contractors to ensure good construction practices across the whole development process.
Operations: Focus on actively raising awareness, improving communication, and changing behaviour around energy, water, and waste consumption across Basecamp properties and offices.
Increase energy efficiency and reduce operational energy
Development: Develop new properties to BREEAM Very Good standard or equivalent, to design for performance and maximise the efficiency of assets throughout the life cycle.
Operations: Increase on-site renewable energy production, install high-efficiency fixtures, and gradually shift our energy consumption towards certified renewable power.
Social.
From a social impact perspective, Health & Wellbeing and stakeholder engagement are the two cornerstones of our ESG strategy.
The goals for us are to increase health & wellbeing, as well as engagement efforts towards residents, employees, and local communities.
Measure, where possible, the impact of the Basecamp business operations to determine the best mitigation strategies by keeping open communication channels with all relevant stakeholders.
Increasing customer and employee retention as well as evaluating the progress of the decisions taken by the Group through surveys to measure the impact of our engagement and health & wellbeing measures.
Governance.
Both ESHF I & II participate in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). The benchmark collects ESG related information from all participating entities and assigns a score.
In addition, every year, we report on a series of Environmental, Social, and Governance aspects because we believe in the capacity of markets to self adapt themselves to the needs of society, with the help and contribution of governments.
The collection of ESG data is essential to determine a solid baseline for the sector to improve and adopt more sustainable practices. Basecamp believes in the power of disclosure and wants to support this process.
The goal in this respect is to gradually increase ESHF and ESHF II GRESB scores, reflecting our ESG efforts’ intrinsic level.

Global leaders in ESG.
Our sustainability efforts are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG), a set of interconnected targets set by the UN. Our strategy also closely observes recommendations made by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) as well as the OECD – Guidelines for multination enterprises.
