All three investment vehicles were also once again awarded a Green Star at this year’s GRESB, Helvetia explains. “The outstanding GRESB 2025 results of the three real estate investment vehicles are confirmation of our sustainable investment strategy, in which real estate plays a central role,” André Keller, Group Chief Investment Officer at Helvetia, is quoted as saying in the press release. “Responsible investment in sustainable and value-orientated capital investments is a major strategic concern for us.”
