ZDR Investments has long been committed to sustainability and responsible investing. Their goal is to build and manage a sustainable portfolio of commercial properties that not only meets current standards but also actively contributes to positive change in the areas of environmental and social responsibility.

A major step on this journey is the achievement of the Light Green classification under Article 8 of the European SFDR Regulation (2019/2088) for all three of their funds: ZDR FKI, ZDR Public, and ZDR Industrial. The Light Green designation means that the funds promote environmental and/or social characteristics in accordance with the criteria outlined in Article 8 of the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). In practice, this includes the integration of an ESG sustainability questionnaire into the acquisition process, the adoption of a Sustainability Policy, and ongoing monitoring of assets from a sustainability perspective.

ZDR Investments’ 2025 Sustainability Initiatives:

• BREEAM In-Use certifications
• Installation of photovoltaic systems on building rooftops
• Sustainability reporting
• A pilot project for electricity sharing

The recognition as Light Green funds is a natural outcome of their long-term sustainability efforts. One of the most visible impacts of their strategy is the installation of solar power plants on the rooftops of their properties. In addition, they are installing electric vehicle charging stations, upgrading lighting systems, and optimizing energy consumption.
