At ByggVesta, we want to strengthen safety and social connection in our properties. This is one of the ways we contribute to social sustainability, which in turn supports both environmental and economic sustainability.
When residents feel a sense of belonging, they are more likely to help one another, share resources, and stay longer in their homes. This community spirit not only benefits the environment but also contributes to long-term financial stability.
Social sustainability starts already during the construction phase, when we design the foundations for safe and inclusive communities. Later, through property management, we continue to build trust and connection. By improving communication with residents, supporting local initiatives that strengthen community ties, and encouraging relationships between neighbors.
Our work began with a study conducted by Sara Göransson, Ph.D. and consultant, which provided valuable insights into how we can promote safety and belonging.
