The asset will benefit from the uplift in energy savings and active asset management strategy.
EG Delta's investment thesis is that improving ESG underperforming assets in the built environment may produce a higher environmental and social impact. This can be demonstrated with a thorough "outcomes-based" measuring methodology.
The unlisted EG Delta Fund seeks to be a pioneer in bringing about significant transformation to current investment-grade Australian office and industrial assets. The method aims to reposition assets in desirable locations from subpar to market-leading ESG outcomes at a reasonable cost.
The Fund uses the "Delta Framework," a unique impact measurement tool that is associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to provide a thorough and quantifiable score for bettering social and environmental results over time.
The Delta Framework quantifies environmental and social performance, ensuring the metrics can be applied to ensure growth and progress of ESG outcomes. The Delta Framework is a bespoke collection of ESG indicators compiled collaboratively with investors, with 16 weighted criteria assessed annually to transparently measure performance.
Each assessed criteria has asset specific metrics which guide EG’s approach to the asset’s management, ensuring ESG criteria is prioritised, measured, and improved.
