ESG

Building the Future Responsibly

At Forte Partners, ESG is embedded at the core of our business strategy. We are committed to developing high-performance, resilient, and people-centric buildings that respond to the needs of modern urban life while contributing positively to the environment and society.

Environmental Responsibility

We apply Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-aligned decarbonization pathways across our portfolio, addressing both operational and embodied carbon for every new project. Sustainability is not an afterthought—it is built into the project from the outset and independently verified through third-party certification schemes such as LEED, WELL, and BREEAM.

Environmental performance is continuously improved through digital tools, smart energy and water systems, responsible material sourcing, and circularity strategies.Our commitment is reflected across key developments such as:

  • The Bridge
  • U•Center
  • Millo Offices
  • Tandem
  • Stefan cel Mare Building
  • And upcoming pipeline projects.

Social Value Creation

Our projects prioritize well-being, inclusivity, and community engagement. By integrating WELL-aligned features such as superior air and water quality, thermal comfort, biophilic design, and wellness programs, we create healthier environments for occupants and visitors alike.Community feedback and tenant experience tools help us refine our buildings throughout their life cycle, ensuring that human comfort and functionality remain central to long-term asset performance.

Governance and Delivery Excellence

We maintain rigorous governance practices across all phases—from design and procurement to execution and operations. ESG requirements are embedded in all contracts and consultant scopes, backed by internal standards, contractor training, and sustainability-linked project management.

Cross-functional teams manage ESG performance using structured tools such as cost models, risk dashboards, and transparent reporting aligned with international frameworks including the TCFD, OECD Guidelines, and ILO Standards.

Our ESG objectives are publicly disclosed and guide investment decisions, portfolio planning, and long-term value creation. Forte Partners continues to expand sustainability practices across all developments, reinforcing our position as a forward-thinking and responsible urban developer.

ESG Commitments Aligned with UN SDGs

Affordable and Clean Energy
(SDG 7)
  • All newdevelopments are designed to meet the nZEB standard and to achieve zerooperational carbon emissions by 2030.
  • We apply passive design strategies, air-to-water heat pumps, low-GWP refrigerants (R32) andsolar panels for renewable energy.
  •  We replace gas heating with electric systems powered by renewable energy sources, including on-site solar.
Clean Water and Sanitation
(SDG 6)
  • Use of low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and Legionella prevention strategies.
Climate Action
(SDG 13)
  • We calculate lifecycle carbon (LCA) and target a 40% reduction in embodied carbon by 2030.
  • We integrate green roofs and terraces with resilient native species that support climate adaptation.
  • We implement BMS, IoT and predictive analytics to enhance energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
(SDG 8)
  • We prohibit child labor, forced labor and human trafficking.
  • We ensure equal rights, freedom of association and fair treatment.
  • All contractors and tenants must comply with strict safety standards; seismic and fire assessments are conducted.
Good Health and Well-being
(SDG 3)
  • Integration of circadian lighting, fresh air, biophilic design and low-VOC materials.
  • Our spaces prioritize physical and mental health in line with WELL standards.
Partnerships for the Goals
(SDG 17)
  • We benchmark ESG performance through GRESB and align with international frameworks such as LEED and WELL.
  • We maintain open supplier relationships, use third-party audits and actively engage stakeholders.
Responsible Consumption and Production
(SDG 12)
  • We aim for 75–90% waste diversion from landfills and promote material reuse.
  • Suppliers must meet ESG criteria, including EPDs and certifications like FSC and Cradle-to-Cradle.
  • ESG policies are regularly audited and transparently reported.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
(SDG 11)
  • Strategic locations near public transport; infrastructure for cyclists, EV charging and car-sharing.
  • Public consultations and community engagement are integral to every project.
