3+1: We use digitisation for ESG purposes as yet another building block
Digitisation has become a regular component of our day-to-day business. Synergies from the standardisation and automation of operational and administrative processes act as basis for the digital services we provide to our investors and tenants: They help us to keep stepping up the pace.
Yet we derive much more from it:
Higher quality.
Smarter use of resources.
Better service.

Sustainability concerns us all. It affects the entire organisation and covers a broad spectrum of topics. Almost all parts of the Group collaborated to prepare this report. Sustainability is team work at its best.
With some pride, we can now look back over 10 years of sustainability reporting. Seen in other quarters as an inconsequential peripheral topic, sustainable conduct – and hence, visionary corporate thinking – has always formed part of our DNA. Yet we are in no way resting on our laurels as regards our success. This report sees us usher in the next phase of sustainable transformation.
To make our understanding of sustainability tangible, we set quantifiable targets for all ESG issues. Our climate target has taken on special significance. Achieving it over the next few years will provide us with both a challenge and an incentive, and we will continue to make our positive contribution towards mitigating climate change.
We hope you enjoy exploring our 2021 Sustainability Report.
Our ESG Strategy
The ESG approach has become an essential and integral component of our corporate strategy, of our management approach and of our business activities – not just since yesterday.
We manage our business proactively in line with sustainability aspects by our experienced management. Combining it with our digital and IT strategy creates a powerful foundation.
