Developing properties sustainably. Contributing to climate protection.

The continuous optimisation of our fund properties is guided by climate protection considerations. Through energy-efficient equipment and sustainable operation of our existing buildings, we are making an active contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Here we show how we put this objective into practice using selected projects that illustrate our measures and their impact.
