How we will measure success
At Helvetica, we are committed to leading the charge towards sustainable business practices. We firmly believe that transparent reporting of our sustainability initiatives and progress can not only differentiate us from our competitors, but also inspire others to follow suit. By providing honest and comprehensive information about our company-wide sustainability practices, we aim to empower stakeholders to make informed decisions and contribute towards a more sustainable future.
The Global Reporting Initiative
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an independent international organization that provides companies and other organizations with a common language to communicate their economic, environmental, and social impacts and take responsibility for them. The GRI Standards are the most widely used and comprehensive standards worldwide for sustainability reporting.
Principles for Responsible Investment
Helvetica is proud to be a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). As a signatory, we commit to incorporating ESG issues into investment decisions where consistent with fiduciary responsibilities. The PRI network comprises more than 4,300 signatories representing over USD 121 trillion in assets under management.
Sustainable Development Goals
Helvetica supports all 17 SDGs of the UN's Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, but focuses on three goals that can have a measurable impact on environmental and social conditions: decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action.
Real Estate Assessment
GRESB is the global ESG standard for real estate assessments used by listed real estate companies, private real estate funds, and investors. The methodology is comparable and aligned with international standards, including GRI and PRI, and is adapted to regional and investment instruments.
A systematic, strategic framework
This past year we undertook a materiality analysis to determine which aspects of sustainability were most relevant for our business and the outside world. Our analysis looked at economic issues – the factors that influence our ability to succeed as a firm long term – as well as environmental, social and governance issues.
