AF Bostäder owns, manages, and develops good and affordable housing for active students in Lund. The accommodations are intended to be pleasant, long-term sustainable, and contribute both to the development of Lund and to a vibrant cityscape. Our operations are guided by a long-term sustainability perspective, taking into account economic, social, and environmental goals, as well as climate objectives.
As part of both property management and new construction, we are pursuing initiatives for secure living environments, climate-friendly building techniques, efficient energy solutions, reduced emissions, improved waste management, cleaner stormwater, and biodiversity. We also aim to inspire our tenants to make sustainable choices in their daily lives, for example, regarding energy and water consumption, waste sorting, and the circular economy.
It’s now easier to thoroughly clean the corridor – with gentle cleaning agents! The students have received a special edition of the book “Städa hållbart med Ekotipset” (Clean Sustainably with Eco-Hacks), along with eco-friendly cleaning materials.
Since 2016, AF Bostäder has reported – and considerably reduced – emissions from its own operations, from purchased energy and from business travel. In line with the aims of Climate Neutral Lund, we are continuing to track down other indirect emissions.
In September, AF Bostäder organised its first second-hand market and many things switched owners – from students to students. Simple, social, enjoyable and, of course, circular.
At Kämnärsrätten, AF Bostäder is conducting one of Sweden’s largest initiatives for long-term sustainable student housing. Pireus was inaugurated in 2023, and in two stages around 250 students have moved into a green and inviting place with space for both socialising and seclusion. All in a living environment so sound and climate-friendly that it has been awarded the Nordic Swan label.
From the starting point of sustainable operational goals and the issues that the company’s stakeholders care about, AF Bostäder’s design of outdoor environments is based increasingly on sustainability. Here, there is scope for security and enjoyment, as well as climate adaption and biodiversity.
Within the scope of the NUDGE energy network, AF Bostäder is expected to reduce energy consumption at Gylleholm by 30%. Collaboration within the network has also led to new knowledge.
