PriceHubble and NORM expand partnership to drive ESG and sustainability solutions
Already partnering with several major banks and other institutions in Switzerland, the companies are committed to further developing and investing in cutting-edge ESG, sustainability and valuation-focused solutions tailored for the Swiss market. The joint effort aims to enhance the transparency and insight offered to property owners, investors, and industry professionals across the region.
The partnership, which already delivers data solutions for property valuation and sustainable property renovation, will now focus on creating advanced solutions to assess and optimise the energy and emissions footprint of residential properties. This expansion underscores both companies’ dedication to supporting the growing demand for more comprehensive ESG profiles and sustainable upgrade feasibility insights for the real estate sector.
Gian Reto à Porta, CEO of NORM, comments: "CO2 emissions from housing account for over 10% of total global CO2 emissions. At NORM, we are a leader in analysing the energy and emission footprints of residential properties. We see a significant need and opportunity for Swiss banks and insurers to analyse their portfolios and empower their customers with the necessary tools to make informed, sustainable decisions."
Dr. Stefan Heitmann, CEO of PriceHubble, adds: "PriceHubble's vision is centered around providing property owners, investors, and other real estate professionals with greater transparency regarding their properties and portfolios. Our partnership with NORM addresses a crucial customer need: the increasing demand for insights into the ESG profile and sustainable upgrade potential of residential real estate. By combining property values with the impact of sustainable construction and renovation, we deliver substantial value to all industry professionals, as well as millions of existing and prospective homeowners in Switzerland."
Switzerland, already recognised as one of the world’s leading markets for automated property valuations, offers a robust foundation of high-quality data. This data enables technology and data-focused companies like NORM and PriceHubble to develop innovative solutions that connect property valuation and value drivers with the impact of ESG and climate-friendly renovations. "We are proud to already count leading Swiss banks and real estate portals among our clients", both CEOs add. "We believe that continued investment in ESG-focused solutions will be instrumental in achieving a net-zero future for Swiss banking, insurance, asset management, and consumer markets."
