The essence of SPG’s operations is centred on the management and preservation of a property portfolio, which is sustainable by nature. Our decisions and actions are guided by our efforts to balance the three pillars of sustainable development: performance and economic development, social responsibility and environmental conservation.
3 Pillars
Performance and economic development
In keeping with our family shareholding structure, we opt to give preference to investments required to develop the company over the short, medium and long term, before distributing shareholder dividends.
Social responsibility
The social role of our group is integral to our corporate culture and is present in a number of areas: work environment, health and security, training, sports and leisure pursuits, solidarity and culture.
Environmental conservation
We undertake regular actions and innovative projects to further environmental conservation. Our strategy is based on three specific and distinct axes: control over our carbon footprint, following up and optimising the property portfolio under our management, and giving advice on energy and environmental planning for the development and renovation or elevation works that we manage.
1. Control of our carbon footprint. We roll out initiatives designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions and improve our global carbon balance sheet.
2. The follow-up and optimisation of our property portfolio under management. We continually analyse the performance of the property portfolio under our management. That involves recommending optimisation initiatives and, when relevant, energy renovations. These measures enable us to reduce operating costs for buildings, increase their value and allow our owner clients to benefit from tax incentives.
3. Advice on energy and environmental planning. We accompany and advise the project owners on their development and renovation or elevation projects to attain high energy standards conforming to current requirements.
“
We have come to realise that works favouring sustainable development and artistic and cultural initiatives are two sides of the same coin: reminding us that people are not defined solely by their business success, but also by their ability to give meaning to their lives and actions. This meaning is worthless without a commitment in favour of collectivity, the environment, the circulation of ideas and knowledge, and the intangible enrichment that stems from it.

SPG Sustainable Development Prize
CReATION
2012
Projects received
35
The SPG Sustainable Development Prize was created in 2012, following the launch of the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in energy management, offered by the Institute for Environmental Sciences (ISE) in collaboration with the University of Geneva. The original idea behind this prize was to reward an energy management project suitable for any building type. Since 2019, it has been expanded to include all the sustainable development sectors at the ISE. This prize is now awarded for dissertations in different areas, such as energy management, water governance, geomatics applied to environmental sustainability, as well as urbanism and sustainable development.
SIG energy transition trophies
SPG received the SIG trophy for energy transition in the “Real estate agency” category for two consecutive years. This distinction is for the longstanding commitment of its employees to energy performance in construction.
SPG contributed to:
saving 184,000 kWh, or the equivalent of the annual consumption of 61 households
optimising the energy performance of more than 75 streets
implementing eco-housing projects in 68 streets
proposing a renovation solution accompanied by an Energy Project Management Assistance (AMOen) service
reducing CO2 emissions by 3,400 tonnes, or the equivalent of 242 persons’ annual emissions
The SIG trophies for the energy transition are awarded every year to the companies and collectives of the canton of Geneva, which make an active contribution to energy saving and use renewable local energy sources. In 2023, over 2,700 entities – companies, collectives, artisans, owners and real estate agencies – used the SIG-éco21 programme, aiming to implement specific measures to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. These efforts enabled an annual saving of 252 GWh, equivalent to the electric consumption of 84,000 households.
This recognition adds value to many environmental initiatives and incites all actors in Geneva’s economic fabric to pursue their energy transition efforts.
Elevation and energy renovation of SPG in Geneva
In keeping with its commitments, SPG launched major elevation and energy renovation works in 2012 at its Geneva headquarters. Through these interventions :
the Heat Expenditure Index (HEI) went from 840 to 267 MJ/m².year
causing a 70% reduction in heating needs and 50% in electricity needs by m² and by year
These economies equate to a CHF 60,000 reduction in annual charges
This project shows that a well-planned renovation can combine aesthetics, functionality and environmental performance, while guaranteeing a good return on investment.
