The service provided by Cushman & Wakefield’s Sustainability and ESG team included climate risk mapping, assessment of building resilience, and the presentation of measures with cost estimates to achieve the desired objectives, ensuring alignment with the EU Taxonomy and ESG standards, such as increased resilience, performance, and cost efficiency.
Fidelidade Group has been taking a leading role in accelerating the climate transition, both within and outside the organization. This commitment is part of a broader strategy that includes initiatives such as the Impact Center for Climate Change – ICCC, created to promote structural and behavioral transformations that strengthen resilience in the face of future challenges.
Joana Pedro, Manager in the Sustainability and ESG team at C&W, commented: “The real estate sector is crucial to the success of the climate transition, and it was within this framework that we supported Fidelidade in assessing the risks of its international portfolio. Using our proprietary methodology and auditable data, we identified risks and adaptation opportunities, enhancing resilience and ensuring alignment with decarbonization and sustainability goals. We are very proud to have contributed to preparing Fidelidade’s portfolio for future challenges.”
Sandra Guilherme, from Fidelidade Property, added: “The collaboration with Cushman & Wakefield was essential for deepening our understanding of the climate risks affecting our real estate asset portfolio. This work allowed us not only to identify vulnerabilities but also to define concrete adaptation measures aligned with our ESG commitments and the EU Taxonomy. It is an important step in our responsible investment strategy and in building a more resilient portfolio prepared for future environmental challenges.”
