The association’s strategic goals for the years 2021-2023 include urging over 50 % of the Finnish professional real-estate owners to set a goal for carbon-neutral energy use, produce in cooperation with the built environment sector a carbon neutrality action plan for the building and construction sector and ensuring that in all major built environment projects low-carbon solutions and circularity are considered.
