Sustainability Strategy

The shift towards a sustainability-orientated real estate industry is a long-term goal that we share with our competitors and our stakeholders alike. Our goal is to actively rise to meet the growing trend towards the integration of sustainability criteria on the corporate, property and investment side and to take social and ecological responsibility as part of our value-adding mandate.

We consider the importance of sustainability for HAMBORNER REIT AG and its stakeholders on the basis of the following approach: We focus on the key impact of our business model and thoroughly examine strategic decisions and actions in our sustainability management. For only with a clear approach and focus we can successfully keep pace with the dynamic transformation process in our industry sector and ensure the performance and future viability of our business model. This attitude has also moved us to integrate key sustainability and ESG criteria into our overall strategy and our processes.

The term ‘ESG’ refers to the three sustainability-related areas of responsibility of companies: Environment, Social and Governance.

 

HAMBORNER REIT AG’s overall strategy aims at value-adding growth through the continued optimisation and yield-driven expansion of its commercial property portfolio. This always takes into account market developments, growth opportunities and expected value creation potential. Another decisive factor is the increasing demands of stakeholders for sustainable business practices.

The development of our implicit sustainability strategy is a dynamic process driven by two vital and fundamental questions:

  • Which political as well as market-driven developments and circumstances do we have to consider to avert risks and recognise opportunities on the market at the same time?
  • To what extent can we further develop our business model in order to operate more sustainably and create additional added value?

The answers to these questions form the basis for our strategic sustainability programme that we are using as a roadmap for implementing our sustainability strategy and for communicating transparently with our stakeholders.

Details on HAMBORNER’s sustainability programme can be found in our current sustainability report.

Key Action Areas

When defining business-relevant sustainability topics, we are strictly guided by the principle of materiality and follow our principle of efficiently directing available resources and our commitment to those issues where we identify the greatest impact on the environment and society – and where we can simultaneously apply the most effective levers for optimising our ESG performance.
