"Climate aligned home renovation in Europe represent a key pillar of delivering a just climate transition and a decarbonised Europe by 2050. It is an ambitious programme of industrial scale, both Financial institutions and policy makers need to raise to the challenge to ensure finance is scaled up to the levels required. For banks and investors it offers an opportunity for a cost effective asset allocation towards the low carbon economy.”
Tatiana Bosteels, Director, Responsibility for Private Markets, and Head of Responsible Property Investment, Hermes Investment Management.

"At a time when the real question is how do we accelerate energy renovation of buildings in the EU, it is great to see a project like EuroPACE preparing the ground for an easier, more attractive means of financing that holds the potential to motivate building owners to get on with the job!" Adrian Joyce, Campaign Director, Renovate Europe.

“Millions of homeowners across Europe are missing out on cost savings, higher property values and more comfortable homes because of a lack of easy-to-access, affordable finance to invest in energy efficiency improvements. At E.ON we believe that energy efficient mortgages have the potential to be a game changer for customers desiring a more sustainable home. We are therefore proud to have been pioneering this agenda as a founding member of the European Energy Efficient Mortgage Initiative.” Marco Marijewycz, Senior Manager – Global Business Development, Global Domain – Home Energy Management (HEM) & Software, E.ON

“Energy efficiency is mostly financed based on individuals’ savings, loans and government grants. Pay for performance is starting to create the prospect for energy efficiency projects to receive revenue, not just energy cost savings. The prospect of revenue will make the financing of energy efficiency projects more attractive to banks and investors. Europe needs to rapidly create new partnerships such as this to advance energy efficiency and green finance.” Murray Birt, Senior ESG Strategist at Deutsche Asset Management and IIGCC Property Working Group Co-Chair.
