In Peach Property Group's ESG Risk Management, Sustainalytics highlights as key positives ESG integration, conducting lifecycle assessments for newly acquired properties, regular tenant satisfaction surveys, and product governance, in other words the way the Group interacts and deals with its tenants. Sustainalytics rates the ESG Risk Exposure at 27.4 and hence in the category "low" (0 to 35).

Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, CEO of Peach Property Group AG, commented: "Sustainability is a key success factor for Peach Property Group. Through the targeted measures we have chosen, we are constantly improving performance in all areas of sustainability. The progress that we have achieved in energy efficiency is directly reflected in the market value of our properties.

We will continue to place sustainable corporate governance and the well-being of our tenants and employees at the center of our future actions. In doing so, we will leverage value across the board, for our tenants, the environment, society and, of course, our investors."

Thorsten Arsan, CFO and Chair of the Sustainability Committee at Peach Property Group, added: "Our sustainability strategy is also of increasing importance in discussions with our investors. Accordingly, undergoing the rating process with Sustainalytics for the first time was a valuable opportunity to subject our sustainability efforts to external benchmarking and identify potential for further improvement."
