Our Approach

Effective sustainability is for us an active role

We view the development of sustainable properties as proactive entrepreneurial action. By managing goals to create positive synergies among ecological, social, and economic interests, we generate value that goes well beyond ESG ratings or cradle-to-cradle approaches.

Going beyond standards, deep into synergies.

New possibilities emerge when we move beyond existing norms. This principle guides our actions and consulting in sustainability and ESG certification. We go beyond compliance with laws and regulations, such as the EU Taxonomy Regulation, by incorporating our own value-based framework. This approach is driven by our commitment to society and the environment and by our project experience, which shows that long-term, effective sustainability arises when synergies between ecology, social aspects, and economics are actively pursued. To achieve this, it’s essential to deeply understand interests and assess relationships in detail. Our 3-dimensional model and expertise position us well to do exactly that.

Our 3-Dimensional Model

Achieving concrete goals and synergies

We define our business operations as the active management of ecological sustainability, social contribution, and economic security. We take on the role of a careful and objective manager of the needs of stakeholders such as banks & investors, municipalities, and Mother Nature. By establishing clear and transparent management and process standards, we ensure that our joint projects not only succeed in the market but also uphold social and environmental standards in their supply and value chains, while protecting human and labor rights.

Certification

Certified

Properties

We have our properties certified by independent and recognized institutions:

Continuous Advancement

Always getting better. That’s our method.

Sustainability and ESG compliance based on our 3-dimensional model is continuously and project-specifically reviewed by our experts. The following guidelines ensure a methodical and reliable approach:

Measure & Analyze

We continuously measure our business actions for their impact, aiming for constant improvement: “Where are we now?”

Improve & Efficiency

Together with our partners, we assess specific project phases by asking: “How can we achieve more with fewer resources?”

Replace & Consistency

With dynamic changes in ESG certifications, we regularly evaluate: “How can we replace outdated practices with forward-thinking processes and innovative technologies?”

Reduce & Sufficiency

With proportion and responsibility, we question our actions: “What is truly necessary to meet our partners’ and customers’ needs? What can we reduce for the benefit of the environment and society?”

Offset & Compensation

Where unavoidable, we offset our impacts by supporting recognized initiatives: “How can we make a measurable contribution to balancing our activities?”

"Sustainable properties require a clear stance and active management of interests. We understand this, because we dive deep into our projects."
