Sustainability Governance

Driving integrity and accountability across every level of our operations

Aroundtown builds its business on ethical conduct, strong governance, and transparency. Our dedicated Compliance and Risk Management teams ensure our operations uphold integrity, accountability, and sustainability.

• Employee Compliance: All staff sign the Employee Code of Conduct upon hiring.
• Supplier Standards: We conduct thorough due diligence and require suppliers to follow our Business Partner Code of Conduct, promoting responsible practices across our supply chain.
• Training and Culture: We provide ongoing training, clear reporting channels, and regional compliance ambassadors to foster an open, respectful culture.
• Oversight and Accountability: The Board of Directors and senior executives monitor compliance and guide governance practices.

Through these measures, we mitigate risks, reinforce accountability, and embed ethical practices across every level of the organization.

Aroundtown integrates sustainability into its governance at all levels, from the Board of Directors to senior management. The Board oversees the ESG strategy and is supported by an ESG Committee, which provides strategic guidance. The Sustainability Department, led by the CSO, implements and monitors initiatives across the Group, reporting directly to the CEO and the Board.

See the ESG governance structure below:

Aroundtown actively manages ESG risks by assessing both physical and transitional climate-related threats. The Risk Committee, Chief Risk Officer, and Sustainability Department conduct comprehensive risk assessments across the portfolio, supported by relevant teams.

We conduct asset-level climate risk assessments, enabling a precise identification of regional and local risks and opportunities. These assessments use scenario modeling and climate risk tools and are fully integrated into the Group’s enterprise risk management framework.

We also engage stakeholders across our value chain through strengthened due diligence, expanded assessments, and structured feedback mechanisms. These measures help refine risk mitigation strategies and foster a culture of transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
