In 2022, Baltic Horizon participated in the GRESB assessment for the fourth time. We achieved a 4-star rating, thereby exceeding our goal to reach 3-stars, which was a great achievement by the entire team. We are proud to keep our 4 stars rating this year. We use the assessment to measure our progress against our peers in the industry. We remain committed to continuously improving our ESG performance, and we hope to improve the rating next year, comments Tarmo Karotam, Fund Manager for Baltic Horizon Fund.

In the assessment, the fund achieved a total score of 82 of out a possible 100, representing the third highest GRESB score in the ‘Northern Europe | Diversified – Office/Retail | Listed’ peer group.

Our action plan for the coming year is to improve tenant and community metrics, to set more measurable ESG targets for the fund, and to improve the performance module by increasing  the environmental data coverage and reducing CO2 emissions, adds Vilma Pasanen, Head of Sustainability & Compliance Officer at Northern Horizon.
