Citycon has published its 2023 Sustainability Accounts featuring the company's refined sustainability strategy
Citycon updated its sustainability strategy in May 2023 , now containing six focus areas that enable the company to effectively work towards its ambitious long-term goals. Existing sustainability areas have been refined, and two new ones introduced: 'Sustainable Value Chain' and 'Circularity & Natural Resources.' These targets highlight the importance of preserving scarce natural resources and vulnerable biodiversity for future generations.
Citycon promotes environmentally friendly mobility and sustainable access to all our centres. 100% of our centres are accessible by public transport, and 2023 was highlighted by Lippulaiva in Espoo and Oasen in Bergen getting even stronger as sustainable transportation hubs. Lippulaiva began to fully function as a transportation hub, with both the metro station and the new bus terminal being open for the entire year. The light rail at Oasen was operational for its first full year, making the centre a green mobility hub also connected to the bus terminal and a new tunnel for bicycles.
During 2023, Citycon focused on improving ESG data management and optimising building automation by piloting an AI based service to increase the energy efficiency at the centres. The state-of-the-art tools will be significant in our efforts for quality and efficient operations in the future.
"We are fully committed to deliver on our ambitious sustainability goals, namely carbon neutrality by 2030 and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5°C Paris goal. Our refined sustainable strategy underlines our commitment to the long-term sustainability promises, and I am pleased about the progress we have made across our centres during the year. I want to highlight the efforts of our team and our partners, who work passionately to enable the company to reach its sustainability goals," says Henrica Ginström, COO (CEO elect at Citycon).
In 2023, Citycon was for the third consecutive year named among Europe's Climate Leader companies by Financial Times and Statista for its efforts to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions.
