At Mitiska REIM, we recognise that achieving sustainable urban growth is an important and pressing issue both today and in the future. We believe that considerations concerning ESG factors play a crucial role in being a responsible fund advisor and are a key driver in creating long-term value for all our
stakeholders and for society by making our business and our managed assets ‘future-proof’. Mitiska REIM is therefore committed to incorporating environmental, social and governance factors across all aspects of its business activities.
OUR APPROACH IS STRUCTURED AROUND 3 DIMENSIONS
Focus area #1
Managing our own business in a responsible way taking ESG aspects into account
Managing our own business to deliver business integrity, trust and reputation in our corporate governance and daily operations, and in dealing with suppliers, local authorities, partners, and our team who are our most important ESG ambassadors.
Focus area #2
Incorporating ESG criteria in the acquisition and development processes of new real estate assets
Making ESG factors an integral part of the investment and development process, with the potential to increase the value of our investment portfolio, reduce exposure to risk, and play an important part in ‘future-proofing’ assets.
Focus area #3
Taking ESG aspects into consideration while managing the assets of the funds we advise or manage
Taking account of environmental, social and governance aspects in managing our assets serves the best interests of the tenants in our properties, our local co-investment and business partners, and the communities in which our assets are located.
GOVERNANCE
Mitiska REIM’s ESG activity is led by a dedicated ESG Taskforce and is overseen by the Executive Committee. To ensure ESG is integrated across all parts of the business, members of the ESG Taskforce are drawn from a wide representation of senior staff and from different business areas.
The ESG Taskforce meets monthly and monitors the incorporation of ESG issues into the investment decision making and asset management processes. Furthermore, the ESG operational responsibilities are spread across the whole organisation to ensure a transversal and integrated approach.

The assets in our portfolio impact the lives of the communities and neighbourhoods in which they are located.
