• The fund's investment focus is on residential properties. Commercially used properties can supplement the portfolio.
• Broad diversification of property investments in terms of region and condition reduces cluster risks.

With its climate focus, the BSPF aims to reduce carbon emissions over time by means of tangible goals.

• Definition of reduction targets for Scope 1, and Scope 1 & 2 emissions for 2030 and 2050

ESG integration

The BSPF uses ESG integration to take sustainability criteria into account when managing its real estate in order to meet its climate targets. In addition, environmental and social sustainability criteria that are not linked to the climate targets are taken into consideration. 

Steps are taken with respect to the following sustainability criteria specifically: 

• Renewable energies for heat generation

Use of exclusions in line with Baloise’s expanded RI strategy: 

• Sanctions by SECO, EU, UN, US, UK 
• Swiss Association for Responsible Investments exclusion list
