Swiss Life Asset Managers Reports Strong 2025 GRESB Results, Confirming Upward Trend

Swiss Life Asset Managers has confirmed continued progress in its sustainability performance, reporting strong results in the 2025 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). The company said the latest assessment validates the effectiveness of its long-term ESG strategy and reinforces its commitment to responsible investment practices across its real estate portfolio.

The 2025 results show improvements across several indicators, with Swiss Life Asset Managers noting particular gains in areas of environmental performance, governance standards, and stakeholder engagement. The company emphasised that its progress reflects not only targeted measures in energy efficiency and climate resilience, but also enhanced transparency and reporting structures.

Swiss Life Asset Managers’ real estate funds and mandates achieved above-average ratings compared with global benchmarks. The company’s portfolio managers highlighted that consistent integration of ESG criteria into investment decisions and asset management processes has become a core element of its approach.

According to the report, the positive outcome is also linked to strategic initiatives such as energy audits, retrofitting programmes, and the implementation of renewable energy solutions across properties in multiple markets. Swiss Life Asset Managers said these steps contribute both to lowering carbon emissions and to ensuring long-term value creation for investors and tenants.

Management noted that the GRESB results strengthen the company’s market position and credibility at a time when institutional investors are placing growing importance on sustainable investments. “These achievements reflect our continuous efforts to improve sustainability performance and to align our portfolio with long-term climate goals,” the company stated.

GRESB is regarded as the leading global benchmark for evaluating ESG performance in real estate and infrastructure. Participation in the annual assessment allows investors and managers to compare results internationally, track progress, and identify areas for further development.

Swiss Life Asset Managers said it plans to build on the positive momentum of 2025 by deepening its ESG initiatives in the years ahead, with a focus on decarbonisation, biodiversity measures, and tenant collaboration to further improve sustainability outcomes.
