Catena plays an important role in the transition to a more sustainable society. Through our property portfolio and project pipeline, we have an impact on the climate – both through the energy used in daily operations and through the resources and materials used in new construction, renovations, and tenant adaptations.
The construction and real estate sector accounts for approximately 20 percent of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why reducing our climate footprint is critical – an ambition that permeates every part of our operations. From strategy to implementation, we work long-term and with clear intent to create more sustainable logistics properties.
On the Path to Net Zero
Catena has high ambitions within sustainability and aims to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 at the latest. Our climate strategy and transition plan are fully integrated into the company’s business strategy, making sustainability a natural part of our daily operations.
The target includes emissions in scopes 1, 2 and 3 – meaning both direct and indirect emissions across the entire value chain. As early as 2020, we adopted goals in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to halve our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. In 2024, we began the process of setting targets for scope 3 as well, in line with the new sector standard for real estate – a process that will continue in 2025.
Catena’s climate goals align with the Paris Agreement and contribute to the UN’s global sustainability goals. We firmly believe that companies with science-based targets are better positioned to create long-term value in an increasingly demanding and segmented property market. For us, taking responsibility – and leading the way toward a climate-neutral future – is a given.
