5 Key Concepts

For decades, a focus on leveraging real estate as a tool to drive broad, collective value has been at the core of how TAS operates. While innovating for impact over the years, the following key concepts have come to align and guide #TeamTAS:

Holistic: By focusing on both eliminating negative impact and generating positive impact, we eliminate the risk of green-, ESG- or impact-washing. This also helps us make progress aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals without inadvertently undermining progress elsewhere.

Measurable: We can’t substantiate progress claims unless the ultimate destination has been defined, so we set quantitative and qualitative targets and proactively manage performance across all three ESG dimensions.

Integrated: We have embedded impact alongside financial metrics in our internal management systems (e.g., in consolidated dashboards), thereby ensuring equal cross-portfolio integration of both profit and purpose across TAS’s investment decisions and business operations.

Transparent: Achieving our bold impact targets will be challenging, and we believe it is very important that we provide clear reporting on our progress – including both our successes and our learnings.

Active: We dedicate time and resources to participate in local and global networks and organizations so we can continuously both learn from and contribute to industry best practices.
