Creating positive impact for our
planet, people and communities
simultaneously enhancing long-term value and mitigating
risks to help address global challenges.
Economic conditions continue to be turbulent. Despite the uncertainty in financial markets, our focus on sustainable investing and decarbonization has not changed. We remain focused on the transition to a low-carbon economy as this is foundational to future-proofing our business. In short, our Sustainable Investing strategy is our business strategy.
Our Approach
Real estate accounts for 40% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
We recognise the importance and value of integrating environmental, social and governance issues within our investment management processes and at every step of the investment life cycle.
We believe that we have a responsibility to our stakeholders – our investors, our tenants, employees, partners and communities – to fully understand the impact of our work and embed sustainable investing strategies into the way we manage our funds so that we may drive long-term sustainable value, mitigate risks and capitalise on opportunities.

Net Zero Carbon Pathway
In 2023, FRE Canada published its Net Zero Carbon (“NZC”) pathway, which sets out the actions required for the Fiera Real Estate CORE Fund’s and Fiera Real Estate Industrial Fund’s targets of NZC in a cost-effective and responsible way by 2040. The ambitious pathway is reflective of the significant progress that FRE Canada has already made in this area to date.

Fiera Real Estate supports
the Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, all UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Underlying ‘Agenda 30’ are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address the urgent call to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice and to protect our planet.
The targets we have set for ourselves in order to meet our sustainable investing commitments have been aligned with a number of these SDGs, but we have placed particular focus on the below:
8 decent work and economic growth 
10 reduced inequalities 
11 sustainable cities and communities 
12 responsible consumption and production 
13 climate action
