Castellum’s most important issues from a stakeholder group perspective
To develop and improve operations, Castellum has identified and analyzed stakeholder expectations of our operations. Castellum conducts continual dialogue with customers, suppliers, employees, Group Management and the Board of Directors that shows which sustainability issues the stakeholders consider to be most important for Castellum. In addition to the stakeholder dialogue, Castellum conducts ongoing discussions on sustainability-related issues at board meetings, meetings with shareholders, and in everyday encounters with customers, employees and suppliers.
The result of the stakeholder dialogues that were conducted, in combination with the company’s materiality analysis, means that Castellum is focusing on the following topics. These are also collected in Castellum’s agenda for the sustainable city.
- The Planet
How we will responsibly and efficiently reduce resource use and carbon emissions that cause global warming.
- Future-Proofing
How we create a sustainable property portfolio in a changing world
- Well-Being
How we promote health, wellness and productivity
- Conduct
How we can create better communities, with increased employment involvement.
Materiality analysis
To develop and improve operations, Castellum has identified and analyzed stakeholder expectations of our operations. The stakeholder dialogue was conducted in 2016 and is still considered up-to-date; thus, no new dialogue was carried out for 2018. The implementation of Castellum’s stakeholder dialogue and the development of the materiality analysis within the area of sustainability followed the same process: initially, a workshop was conducted with the Group’s sustainability workgroup to update the materiality analysis based on Castellum’s strategy and on changes in the outside world. Subsequently, web questionnaires were sent to selected customers and suppliers, as well as to the Board, Executive Group Management and all employees. These are Castellum’s most important target groups and central to the company’s long-term value creation. The purpose of these questionnaires was to determine whether the materiality analysis was in line with expectations of the company, as well as to collect development proposals for future sustainability efforts. In addition to the stakeholder dialogue, Castellum conducts ongoing discussions on sustainability-related issues at board meetings, meetings with shareholders, and in everyday encounters with customers, employees and suppliers.
The Planet
To reduce Castellum’s impact on the environment, resources will be used efficiently, and the proportion of renewable energy is to increase.

Future-proofing
It is important for Castellum to be able to offer customers and employees safe and healthy working environments. To achieve this, Castellum works with environmental inventories and recognized environmental classification systems vis-à-vis the properties. The objectives include environmental evaluations for all properties, and environmental classifications for all new constructions and major reconstructions. The updated objectives require classification of office and retail premises as Miljöbyggnad, minimum Silver level. The possibility of reaching the Gold classification should always be investigated.
