In 2019, we decided to expand our operations to other European countries with strong demographics and favourable market conditions, which resulted in a large acquisition in the Czech Republic at the beginning of 2020. Our vision is to enrich and simplify life for our customers through Friendly Homes. We hold a lifelong perspective on our properties, meaning that we build, develop and manage sustainable and modern homes of a good standard. In this way, we generate lasting value for shareholders, partners and customers, but also for our employees and for society as a whole. Our ambition is to grow responsibly and sustainably alongside partners who share our values. Within the framework of our strategy, we will work with other stakeholders and create opportunities by contributing experience, knowledge and capital. Heimstadens main owner is the Norwegian Company Fredensborg AS and the preference share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

Qualitative and sustainable growth PROPERTY VALUE, SEK Heimstaden is the largest private residential property company in Denmark, Norway and the Czech Republic 114 and we are among the largest owners in Sweden and the Netherlands. At the end of 2019, we expanded our BILLION operations in Germany, and in early 2020 a large acquisition was made in the Czech Republic. The rapid expansion imposes high demands on our ability to grow sustainably from many aspects. We invest considerable effort in all investment decisions and conduct thorough due diligence with regard to financial, social and environmental aspects. We take care of our staff and make sure all customers – new and old – receive the same degree of attention and high level of service. By staying true to our core values (Care – Dare – Share), we ensure high-quality growth in markets throughout Europe. Rental income Through a well-developed business model and strategy, we have continuously created growth with quality. Over the past five years, rental income has increased tenfold to SEK 4.8 billion at the end of 2019. RENTAL INCOME, SEK 4.8 BILLION HEIMSTADEN ANNUAL REPORT 2019 1 OUR BUSINESS – A COMMENT FROM OUR CEO A year to remember In a few years time, as we look back at 2019, I think we will see it as a very important year for Heimstaden AB. We made a number of strategic acquisitions, strengthened our organisation in preparation for the future and continued to fill the Heimstaden brand with the values essential to a lifelong ownership perspective. The objective is to build a company able to balance favourable earnings and good key data with human values, such as care for our employees and a high level of customer satisfaction. Back in 2018, we took the decision to broaden our horizon from we also acquired a large portfolio in Germany, political discus­ Scandinavia and to extend our operations through Northern sions regarding the decision to impose a five­year embargo Europe.

The energy mix in the Czech Republic is challenging and we will be working actively to transition to more sustainable alternatives where possible and to implement measures to improve energy efficiency. The acqui­ sition is the largest in Heimstaden Bostad’s history in terms of the number of units and has provided valuable knowledge in preparation for the Company entering its next new market. I see a strength in Heimstaden Bostad now having the capacity to conduct truly large­scale acquisitions, while the Company’s entrepreneurial culture means that no opportunities are missed to acquire individual properties complementing the existing port­ folio. It is important to be able to balance large­scale matters against smaller­scale ones to be able to achieve a favourable risk diversification and long­term profitability. I wish we could have made more acquisitions in Scandinavia in 2019.

P. O. Box 5015, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands. Abstract This paper discusses the dynamics of coastal policy change in Sweden, using erosion and beach nourishments as an example. The Multiple Stream Model is a theoretical model on agenda setting and policy change devel- oped by the political scientist John Kingdon (1984, 2003). This paper applies Kingdon’s model in describing and explaining coastal policy dynamics regarding coastal erosion in Sweden. Coastal protection is not a separate policy field in Sweden: interventions to protect the (common) coast form a component of spatial planning, which is largely the responsibility of the municipalities. Our analysis reveals that interventions to protect the coast are indeed organized at a local level, by landowners and the municipality, driven by a strong problem perception. This problem perception is articulated as a local voice seeking increased acknowledgement of the coastal erosion issue by the national government.

  • Coastal Erosion Risks in the BSR Countries
    Coastal erosion risks in the BSR countries Coastal floods Coastal erosion Europe Vulnerabilities - European coasts All European coastal states are to some extent affected by coastal erosion. About twenty thousand kilometres of coasts, corresponding to 20% face serious impacts in 2004. Most of the impact zones (15,100 km) are actively retreating, some of them in spite of coastal protection works (2,900 km). In addition, another 4,700 km have become artificially stabilised (1). The risk of coastal flooding due to the undermining of coastal dunes and sea defences potentially affects several thousands of square kilometres and millions of people. Over the past 50 years, the population living in European coastal municipalities has more than doubled to reach 70 millions inhabitants in 2001 and the total value of economic assets located within 500 meters from the coastline has multiplied to an estimated 500-1000 billion Euros in 2000 (1). The cost of coastal erosion (coastline protection against the risk of erosion and flooding) has been estimated to average 5,400 million euro per year between 1990 and 2020 (2). Coastal erosion results in three different types of impacts (or risks): Loss of land with economical value Destruction of natural sea defences (usually a dune system) as a result of storm events, which may result in flooding of the hinterland. Undermining of artificial sea defences as a result of chronic sediment shortage Human factors Coastal erosion is influenced by several human factors, including (1): Coastal engineering. The waterfronts of urban, tourism or industrial zones have usually been engineered by way of seawalls, dykes, breakwaters, jetties, or any hard and rock-armoured structures, which aims at protecting the construction or other assets landwards the coastline from the assault of the sea.

  • National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation
    Description of the Government Bill 2017/18:163 National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation The main content of the bill The bill proposes two changes to the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) with the aim of improving municipalities’ preparedness for climate change. One of these changes involves a requirement for municipalities to provide their views in their structure plans on the risk of damage to the built environment as a result of climate-related flooding, landslides and erosion, and on how such risks can be reduced or eliminated. The other change involves the municipality being able to decide in a detailed development plan that a site improvement permit is required for ground measures that may reduce the ground’s permeability and that are not being taken to build a street, road or railway that is compatible with the detailed development plan. The Government also reports on a National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation in order to strengthen climate change adaptation work and the national coordination of this work in the long term. The strategy was announced in the Government’s written communication ‘Kontrollstation för de klimat- och energipolitiska målen till 2020 samt klimatanpassning’ (‘Control station for the 2020 climate and energy policy objectives and climate change adaptation’, Riksdag Communication 2015/16:87). Through the strategy, the Government also meets its obligations in accordance with the Paris Agreement and the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, in which a national climate change adaptation strategy is highlighted as a central analytical instrument that is intended to explain and prioritise actions and investments.
