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 corporate governance – what are known as the ESG criteria (ecological, social, governance).
