Key projects your company worked on between July 2022 and June 2023

Our major reference project is AXA. In this as well as the previous year we conducted energy audits in 105 assets covering 1,1 million squaremeters. We identified 720 measures.
Our approach is here on portfolio as well as on asset level. Of course the asset team is provided with a asset report which is presented to the team. But all measures and findings are aggregated on portfolio level as well, in order to inform the Risk & Portfolio management.
In parallel a BREEAM in use certification was conducted in all these assets in order to evaluate the status and potential of other building sustainability aspects.

That is why we are sharpening our focus on local markets and invest in the growing demand for local ESG expertise within countries and our talents on the ground.
