Environmental,
Social, and Governance

Responsible investment.
Tangible impact.

At Focus Estate Management, we integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into every investment decision — not as a formality, but as a driver of long-term value.

On the environmental front, we are committed to reducing the footprint of our assets by installing solar panels across the portfolio, expanding EV-charging infrastructure, upgrading outdated technical equipment, and promoting environmentally conscious operations across all properties.

From a social perspective, we strive to build community-friendly retail environments by hosting local events, improving accessibility for people with disabilities, and supporting charitable initiatives that benefit the neighborhoods we operate in.

In terms of governance, we adhere to strict anti-corruption standards and prioritize transparency, ethical conduct, and accountability at every level of our business.

ECOLOGICAL INITIATIVES

ADOPTION OF SOLAR POWER

We have begun a transformational journey to convert our entire shopping centre portfolio to solar-powered facilities. By fully committing to solar energy, we are significantly improving the customer experience while making a positive impact on the environment. This strategic change is a testament to our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future.
We are on track to implement solar panels on the rooftops of all our managed shopping centers, featuring capacities ranging from 800 kW to 1 MW.
CO₂ emission reduction due to our ESG initiatives (solar panels) already reached 162,780 kg/year.

SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS

Another initiative is to make neighbourhoods sustainable, inclusive, and safe, as we build bike stations and electric vehicle charging stations at our sites.
Our aim is to create comfortable public destinations for socializing across all age groups, with convenient access for everyone — including older persons and individuals with disabilities — and with green spaces on site. We strive to transform our centers, through an attentive tenant-mix strategy that reflects the social and economic needs of the community, into key retail clusters within the neighbourhoods they serve.

SOCIAL INITIATIVES

TEMPORARY SUPPORT CENTRE FOR REFUGEES

At one of our assets, Turawa Park Shopping Center in Opole, a support and volunteer center for Ukraine was established just a few weeks after the start of the war.
We dedicated more than 9,000 sqm of our own space to create the Temporary Support Centre for Refugees (TOWU) at Turawa Park and signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Polish branch of the Red Cross. In 2022, more than 150,000 Ukrainian refugees received assistance through this initiative.
Relying initially on our own resources and the potential support of local residents, we were met with an overwhelming wave of solidarity from the people of Opole. This generated strong backing from local communities, public organizations, local businesses, and humanitarian aid from other countries, including Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

CHARITABLE BIKE RALLY

In June 2022, we organized a charitable bike rally with around 1,000 participants and made a donation to the children’s ophthalmology clinic.

CHARITY EVENT FOR THE GOSŁAWICE VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE

On 5 August 2023, we hosted a special charity event at Turawa Park Shopping Centre to raise funds for the purchase of a new fire engine for the Gosławice Volunteer Fire Brigade.
The campaign was launched in response to a tragic accident that had significantly impacted the unit’s operational capacity. The call for support was met with a generous response from the local community. We warmly thanked the residents for their commitment and generosity, and decided — on our own initiative — to double the amount of funds raised.
During the event, the Summer Zone at the shopping centre was filled with activity and expressions of support for the brave firefighters. Visitors could attend presentations by military and water rescue units and explore firefighting vehicles up close.

GOVERNANCE INITIATIVES

MEMORANDUM AGAINST CORRUPTION IN REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY

We were among the initiators and signatories of the Memorandum against corruption in the real estate and development industry.
The Memorandum was prepared with the support of Transparency International Ukraine and the Office of the Business Ombudsman of Ukraine. It aims to promote the implementation of various anti-corruption and anti-fraud compliance practices across the market.
