The real estate company
"We are very proud to receive this award and hope it will mean more people recognise the link between sustainability, a long-term approach and profitability - even in the real estate sector. For us, it is a matter of course that residential real estate companies of the future must be able to build new homes to address the housing shortage without exacerbating the climate crisis," says
The annual Symbiosis award is given to three Swedish companies that combine profitability with consideration for people and the planet and thereby demonstrate that business benefit and responsibility can effectively coexist. One of the winners of this year's prize, which is being awarded for the second time, is K2A - the green real estate company - which constructs and manages Nordic Swan Ecolabelled rental apartments in timber.
"It is very gratifying to congratulate K2A as one of this year's winners. Given the size of the real estate industry and its importance and impact on society, there is a great need for positive examples of how to create profitable growth without comprising consideration for the wider world. K2A is noteworthy as a company to keep track of in the future," says
The selection process for Symbiosis rests on comprehensive analysis that initially includes more than one million Swedish companies. The range of companies is narrowed down using the responsibility factors of People, Planet and Profit, and the successful companies are chosen by a highly reputed jury comprising Sara Resvik, CEO of Backing Minds,
The jury's motivation of its choice of K2A reads "Like a window into the future, K2A shows how a responsible profile can build both housing and growth in an ever-current industry".
The other winners of this year's award were the tech company Centiro and the food group
