A sustainability panel consisting of the best experts in sustainable production and consumption judged six of SATO’s rental buildings to be an above-average choice in terms of sustainability and included them among the most sustainable choices on the website.

An independent sustainability panel has ranked six of SATO’s rental buildings among the most sustainable choices presented on Ostavastuullisesti.fi, a Finnish website providing guidance on sustainable consumer choices. The panel consists of seven independent experts in sustainable production and consumption. The sustainability panel assesses a more sustainable lifestyle and more responsible choices from the perspective of relative sustainability, meaning that the recognised product or service must be more sustainable than the alternatives available.

SATO’s buildings now on the Osta vastuullisesti list are Lupajantie 2 in the Mellunkylä district of Helsinki and Jokiniityntie 22 in Kirkkonummi, both completed in 2022. The sustainability seal of approval was also awarded to homes under construction and slated for completion in the coming year at the addresses Lincolninaukio 4 in the Keimola district of Vantaa, Kotkatie 6 in Espoo, and Jokiniementie 46 and 48 in the Veräjämäki district of Helsinki.

All of these are energy-efficient buildings of energy class A and all have geothermal heating. The design of the buildings caters for ease of use and maintenance as well as adaptability. All structural elements and technical systems can be serviced and replaced independent of each other.

“The design of new SATO rental homes is always informed by energy efficiency, sustainable building solutions to last for decades to come, and adaptability. Instead of the regular 50 years, the frames of SATO’s residential buildings are required to have a useful life of 100 years,” says Susanna Kari González, Sustainability Manager at SATO.
