Sustainabile property management

Locum has been entrusted with the management of the Stockholm County Council’s healthcare premises on the basis of longterm sustainability. This means that Locum integrates ethical, social and environmental considerations into its management. The aim is to contribute to sustainable social development.

Owner requirements for Locum
The County Council has an environmental policy programme, Environmental Step 5, which aims to reduce the negative environmental impact of the various enterprises. This is in line with the national environmental quality goals determined by the Swedish Parliament. Specific environmental standards are set, for example, in the programme for the management of the County Council’s properties, relating to matters such as energy consumption, transport, and choices of chemicals and products.

Locum has been instructed through specific owner directives to help the tenants utilise the premises in a cost-effective manner and to prioritise buildings that conserve resources and are adapted for sustainability.

Locum´s sustainability work
For Locum, sustainable development means that the operations shall be managed in a way that the current needs are satisfied without preventing future needs from being met. Locum has engaged in ambitious efforts from an environmental perspective for many years.

The owner’s requirements and goals have been incorporated into the management of Locum’s operations. The sustainability perspective for the operations must concern the environment. It regards the management and development of the properties and in addition also takes into account social and financial perspectives. Locum specifies ethical requirements for procurements from suppliers, invests responsibly, and engages in systematic efforts to ensure that customers and employees are satisfied. Corporate social responsibility is regarded as part of the sustainability concept.

Sustainability report according to the GRI
The UN-supported Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has developed into a globally accepted standard for sustainability reports for organisations and enterprises. Locum’s sustainability report (only available in Swedish) satisfies the requirements of reporting level C in the GRI guidelines. There has been no third-party verification of this sustainability report. It covers the operations that Locum has a direct influence over, and which have a considerable impact on the basis of a sustainability perspective. Operations that lie outside Locum’s direct control, such as subcontractors, are not covered by the reporting. The reporting period is for the year 2011. Locum intends to report on its sustainability work annually according to the GRI guidelines.

No deviations from Locum’s policies and core values have been reported during the year. Management by objectives and values characterises the management of the operations in order to achieve long-term sustainable development of the property portfolio. It is based on the ten principles of the Global Compact.

Business and sustainability strategies
Locum integrates ethical, environmental and employee considerations into its business strategies. The operations must be characterized by a good business-like approach. Customers and suppliers must be dealt with ethically and professionally, and in a manner that inspires confidence. As managers of one of Sweden’s largest property portfolios, Locum has a significant influence over the chosen business partners. Ethical standards are required of suppliers and contractors. Locum monitors and evaluates contractors who are awarded contracts. Monitoring is carried out to ensure that elements such as taxes, manpower and the environment are in compliance with the legislation and agreements, and that they are consistent with good business practices.

Locum complies with legislation and regulations regarding anything that may be perceived as bribery or extortion. Internal rules and guidelines are communicated regularly with those concerned.

Competence development, workload and equal opportunities are key concepts in Locum’s efforts to create an attractive and sustainable workplace. Capable and committed employees are crucial for Locum’s ability to meet the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders.

Efficient and sustainable property management as a result of good energy housekeeping, for example, provides savings and a reduction in the environmental impact. Locum engages actively in training in order to get both customers and employees involved in environmental issues. Seminars, participation and incentives, practical activities, and training courses establish the prerequisites for good knowledge of and a commitment to environmental questions.
