Targets
- Safe neighbourhoods as assessed by residents: to outperform the sector average for comparable properties.
- Attractive areas according to the residents: above the sector average.
John Mattson has, in recent years, expanded greatly in the Stockholm region. We are actively working to integrate sustainability issues throughout the organization to take responsibility in our ongoing growth journey.
John Mattson is on a growth journey with the ambition to establish itself in more
locations in the Stockholm region. Increasing the pace of sustainability efforts is
part of this change, with a focus on reducing climate impact and strengthening the
company’s long-term competitiveness.
Our long-term perspective and the company’s vision – great neighbourhoods across generations – has been present since the company was founded over 50 years ago. All properties and housing must be of master builder quality, which means being sustainable, functional and attractive over time. But for John Mattson, this is about more than just the buildings. We assume an overall perspective and take an active part in building long-term communities.
John Mattson’s approach is based on the ten principles of the UN Global Compact for corporate sustainability in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. The company’s core values and Code of Conduct guide us in our day-to-day work.
We view managing sustainability issues such as respect for human rights, anticorruption and compliance with rules and regulations as hygiene factors.
Since 2020, John Mattson has been working adapted to a sustainability strategy with four areas: dynamic and safe local communities, responsible material and waste management, energy efficient and fossil-free solutions and healthy and inspiring workplaces. These areas also comprise John Mattson’s contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The strategy is based on a materiality analysis that was carried out in autumn 2019. In spring 2020, stakeholder dialogues were also carried out with employees and a number of investors to capture their insights on the prioritized sustainability areas. One of the conclusions reached from the stakeholder dialogues was that climate impact, construction material and energy consumption should be the highest priorities of John Mattson’s sustainability agenda.
John Mattson is in a strong position when it comes to social sustainability. We are now changing up a gear when it comes to environmental sustainability in order to more efficiently assess and manage climate related opportunities and risks.”
Our long-term sustainability targets, including our science-based climate targets, steer our operations toward more sustainable development and contribute to achieving the vision of “Great neighbourhoods across generations.”
Commitment for social issues creates value for tenants and local communities.
Responsible material choices, reusing materials and efficient waste management reduce climate impact and increase the recycling rate.
The energy consumption during the lifespan of a property is considerable. Energy classifications, choosing fossil-free energy types and efficient management of the properties reduce their climate impact.
Proactive efforts for a healthy, safe and stimulating work environment for employees and suppliers are a prerequisite for well-being and commitment.
