Höegh Eiendom Completed 240 Carbon Accounts in 6 Weeks

Since 1927, Höegh Eiendom has created inspiring and vibrant spaces. The company takes its social responsibility seriously by making conscious environmental choices, reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency in its buildings, and selecting sustainable solutions that future generations can thrive with. Höegh Eiendom is ISO 14001 certified and actively uses BREEAM to ensure that the most critical aspects of sustainability are addressed.

The real estate sector plays a central role in society, and with that comes a responsibility to reduce carbon emissions. As a major player in real estate, it is crucial to have robust systems that can handle multiple dimensions and evolve alongside the company.

High System Requirements

With a real estate portfolio spanning over 80 companies and a desire to track emissions at the individual company level, Höegh Eiendom has high demands for carbon accounting and reporting systems. Seamless data integration to achieve accurate measurements is crucial, along with flexibility and continuous development.

Aider and Morescope

“We already use several services from Aider, including payroll, accounting, and ERP systems, so it was natural for us to also leverage their sustainability services,” says Anjan Banstola, Senior Controller at Höegh Eiendom. “Aider introduced us to Morescope, and we quickly realized that it was an excellent fit for us.”

High System Requirements

Having control over emissions is a key part of a company’s competitive advantage. With a carbon account in place, it becomes easier to implement measures to reduce emissions where they matter most. In Morescope, companies can set targets in line with the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets. The full report can also be used in sustainability reporting and ISO certification.

“In just a few weeks, we set up the integration between the accounting system and Morescope, structured the setup so that Höegh Eiendom now has individual carbon accounts per building, divided between owned and managed properties, as well as an overall carbon account for the entire group. We started with the 2024 carbon accounts and then added historical data from 2022 and 2023, allowing them to track year-to-year changes. In total, this amounted to 240 carbon accounts,” concludes Langedal.

Many companies now have climate and environmental considerations on their agenda. This has become a natural part of the decision-making process, placing high demands on players in the real estate sector.

 

“Tenants in the buildings also naturally want insight into their share of the carbon footprint from their lease. A future goal is to provide each tenant with an overview of their climate impact,” says Banstola.
