Zug Estates creates added value by building, operating and continuously developing future-proof, diverse living spaces. In developing them we rely on sustainable principles and criterias from across the ESG spectrum.

From the outset, our main goal is to systematically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2021 these have remained between 0.9 and 1.1 kg CO₂eq per m² energy reference area (Scopes 1 and 2) for the operation of our entire portfolio and thus well below the industry average.  We expect emissions to remain at this very low level in the coming years.

In 2019, Zug Estates was the first listed real estate company in Switzerland to issue a green bond. What was at the time a market trailblazer is now standard. Fact is, the market for green finance has seen strong growth since then; indeed, Zug Estates added additional green bonds in 2022 and 2024. The value of all three bonds now stands at CHF 300 million, with the Zug Estates bond portfolio consisting exclusively of green bonds.
