Sustainability ratings and DNK declaration of compliance
As a property company that does business sustainably and responsibly, we want to drive the transparency of sustainable performance forward and ensure continuity and comparability for investors in the industry.
We base our approach on the leading evaluation systems for measuring property companies’ performance in terms of sustainability, particularly EPRA sBPR (Best Practices Recommendations for Sustainability Reporting) and GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark). Our focus is on the aspects of the environment, society and company management – what are known as the ESG criteria (ecological, social, governance).

As part of the ISS-oekom corporate rating, Deutsche Wohnen has been awarded "Prime" status. It is given to companies that meet the demanding requirements of ISS-oekom for the sustainability performance in their industry. About 10% of the approximately 300 real estate companies rated by ISS-oekom worldwide have been granted the "Prime" status.
Deutsche Wohnen also published its third declaration of compliance with the German Sustainability Code (DNK) in November 2018 and therefore fulfills the sector-specific requirements stipulated in the supplement for the residential real estate industry.
