Through Fastator’s focus on acquisitions and development of existing real estate that previously has been overlooked or not used to its fullest potential, the company avoids exploiting limited resources and contributes to a more sustainable industry. In 2021, the company started measuring and reporting its environmental impact in accordance with the GRI (Greenhouse Gas Protocol) standards. This year (2021) will serve as a base year enabling better possibilities for follow-up and comparison in the coming years. Further goals for the future include extending the reporting to include Scope 3 and actively working towards obtaining environmental certification of future buildings under the brand name Point. Socially the company works for equality and an inclusive environment throughout the organization. In terms of female representation on the board and in senior management, the numbers were 33% and 37%, respectively, in 2021, which is an improvement from 2020 when the senior management lacked female representation.
