Reporting Standards

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

Heimstaden’s Annual Sustainability Report for 2021 is prepared and reported in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. We have identified the following material GRI areas to report on: Economic performance, anti-corruption, tax, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, employment, occupational health and safety, human rights and, and local community.

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

The aim of TCFD’s recommendations is to provide investors with information about the risks and opportunities that a transition to a society with lower carbon emissions and a changing climate entail. TCFD’s recommendations are categorised into four areas: governance, strategy, risk- and opportunities management as well as metrics and targets. Heimstaden follows TCFD’s recommendations and divides climate-related risks into two main categories: transition risks and physical risks.

EU Taxonomy

During 2021, we concluded the share of Heimstaden Bostad’s revenues, capex and opex that are eligible for the EU taxonomy. We have also prepared our organisation to track our alignment with the EU taxonomy during 2022 and started climate risk and vulnerability assessments at property level.
