Specific Examples of Some of Our Projects
with Sustainable Positive Ramifications

Economic sustainability

• Contract Bundling and Supplying Power from Renewable Energy Sources
  In 2010, we decided to switch to electricity contracts that would guarantee the delivery of power from renewable, environmentally friendly energy sources. The power is mainly generated by wind farms, hydroelectric dams, solar and photovoltaic arrays, as well as in geothermal plants. As of 2012, all of our properties are supplied with common-area electricity from renewable energy sources. In the process, we renegotiated several hundred separate contractual relationships with more than 40 different utilities over the past two years, bundling them into master agreements with just three utilities in order to achieve this.

Corporate Citizenship and Social Sustainability

• Cultural Sponsorships
  As a Frankfurt-based company that benefits not least from the rich diversity of this fine metropolis, we support the city's cultural life by sponsoring museums and junior artists. One of the things we did in 2011, for instance, was to make the MainTor estate available as temporary exhibition space for the Museum of Modern Art (MMK), which celebrated its 20th anniversary and presented parts of its collection to more than 100,000 visitors. We also regularly sponsor cultural and artistic projects by making vacant office and retail areas available for limited periods of time, thereby supporting events and shows.
  

Environmental Sustainability

• Construction of Sustainable Quarters
  Following successful lettings and sales, the realisation of more than half of the project volume is now under way. The MainTor project took comprehensive sustainability aspects into account almost from the start. For us, sustainable project development means consistently exhausting savings potential, using floor space in optimal ways, promoting our staff's productivity and quality of life, and considering the environment of our properties in everything we do. This focus is reflected in our intention to seek the best possible green building certification for all of our commercial sub-projects of MainTor Quarter – DGNB Gold.
