Everything we do affects us and our Planet and thus at Echo Investment Group we keep making changes so that we can live and work even better.
Having developed our ambitious 2030 ESG strategy for Echo-Archicom Group, we are focused on reducing our carbon footprint, improving our buildings' energy efficiency, minimising their impact on the environment and biodiversity, and strengthening our corporate culture. Since 2020, we have been preparing sustainability reports that summarise our progress in achieving strategic goals.
We are committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We focus on those within which our business activities can have the greatest impact. Together with our employees, clients, supply chain partners and society, we take decisive action for the planet, for people and for stakeholders. Our collaboration is the key to gaining knowledge, capacity building and expanding understanding for the implementation of sustainable business. Below are the main SDGs where we have the greatest contribution.
We view responsible urban development as a long-term commitment to the environment and future generations. We focus on already developed, well-connected areas with existing infrastructure, delivering projects that strengthen and enhance the existing urban fabric.
In designing our projects, we consistently work to minimize their negative impact on the natural environment, with particular attention to protecting biodiversity and ensuring high-quality public spaces. We see development as a process that must go hand in hand with respect for local ecosystems and responsible resource management.
We pursue our environmental ambitions through concrete actions in the areas of climate and energy. We reduce CO₂ emissions from our own operations and development projects, aiming to achieve climate-neutral buildings in the operational phase by 2030, while steadily increasing the share of energy sourced from renewables.
