Sustainability

Taking Responsibility – Communicating Responsibly

Sustainability encompasses more than just environmental factors. It’s essential to understand how social and governance aspects are integrated. Even amid evolving legislation, transparency remains crucial, and small to medium-sized enterprises should proactively prepare.

In the real estate sector, with its long-term business models, there’s a particular obligation – and opportunity – to take responsibility and potentially lead by example.

As auditors, we place great emphasis on holistic consulting that integrates all facets of corporate activity. Many of our services are offered in collaboration with our business consulting division.

When planning initiatives, a CO₂ balance for your company can serve as a solid foundation. We assist in its creation, providing a meaningful status report from which we derive recommendations for effective and economical actions.

We anticipate that banks and investors will expect transparency regarding various metrics – such as energy consumption, climate protection, diversity, and corporate governance – even from companies not currently obligated to report. To enhance competitiveness and future readiness, companies should consider adopting the voluntary VSME reporting standard now.

Start by assessing the current CO₂ emissions of your building portfolio. Analyze the energy situation based on these figures to identify action areas, derive potential improvements, and estimate associated costs. The climate pathway then outlines a detailed plan to reduce energy consumption and emissions, complete with target benchmarks
