Premia aspires to be among the Sustainability leaders in Greece.

Being a listed Real Estate Investment Company, we are committed to the sustainability journey, as an employer, a business partner, a community and environmental member, and a value creator for the shareholders.

By thinking and acting sustainably, we are focused to deliver excellent service to our tenants and strong financial results and position the company for a strong future growth.

Sustainability Vision

Premia Properties’ Sustainable Business Strategy is guided by our dedication to operating responsibly, creating value for our stakeholders, and improving the environmental and social performance of our assets.

Environment, Social Performance, Corporate Governance and Economic Responsibility carry equal weight and are considered in everything we do.

Sustainability Mission

Our approach, and success, is underpinned by a set of comprehensive KPI’s and long-term targets which aim to deliver tangible benefits for our stakeholders; our investors, tenants, building users, local communities, and employees.

We will be providing an account of our performance against these long–term targets in our annual sustainability reporting.

We will be publishing a suite of reports that align with mandatory reporting requirements and international best practice standards including the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR) and the GRI.

Frank Roseen statement,

Vice Chairman, Non Executive Member of Board of directors 

ESG & Sustainability considerations are an integral part of our decision-making process. Our primary focus is on carbon emissions and energy efficiency, but we also look at governance, social and well-being standards, while securing long-term growth. Each business decision is evaluated according to its environmental and social-economic impact, has a clear vision and is communicated with full transparency to Premia’s stakeholders.  

Premia is committed in taking tangible steps to reduce its carbon footprint and develop healthy buildings for the environment and the communities that live and work in. Toward the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050, we are promoting various decarbonization initiatives in collaboration with suppliers to improve the energy efficiency and replacing traditional energy sources with low-carbon alternatives, transforming thus our buildings for the future. 

Our commitment is to be one of the most sustainable real estate companies in Greece. To strengthen our sustainability as an organization, we are mobilizing concerted resources by establishing a cross-functional Taskforce, comprising energetic and thoughtful members to help us think differently and turn challenges into business opportunities.
