Danske Bank has partnered with Sweco, a leading architecture and engineering firm, and climate tech company comundo to help property owners in the real estate sector reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency. These collaborations offer a streamlined process for real estate customers, combining energy data management, customized action plans, and financing solutions.

Real estate accounts for a significant part of Danske Bank’s loan portfolio, making it a key sector for the bank’s green transition efforts. “We aim to be the best financial partner in supporting our customers' sustainability transitions,” said Linda Fagerlund, Head of Commercial Real Estate at Danske Bank.

Real-time energy data with comundo

comundo’s digital solution simplifies energy tracking by automatically collecting real-time energy consumption and CO2 footprint data. “Our plug-and-play solution gives property owners easy access to data, helping them monitor and reduce their energy use,” said Thomas Gaunø Ibsen, Director of Sales at comundo. Danske Bank and Realkredit Danmark customers will receive a discount on this service.

Energy optimization with Sweco

Sweco will provide customized action plans for energy improvements tailored to each property. “We deliver solutions that reduce energy consumption and meet future sustainability requirements,” said Dariush Rezai, CEO of Sweco Denmark.

Financing energy improvements

Danske Bank will offer financial support to help property owners implement energy-saving measures. “Our advisors are trained in ESG and are ready to assist with financing to turn action plans into reality,” said Fagerlund.

Through these partnerships, Danske Bank aims to accelerate the green transition in real estate and contribute to a more sustainable future.
