Climate goals and the real estate sector

The European Green Deal is a driving force behind much of the legislation and regulations aimed at achieving a climate-neutral Europe. Several of these regulations relate directly to real estate, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The real estate sector therefore plays a crucial role in meeting European climate targets. Globally, the sector accounts for nearly 40% of total human-induced CO₂ emissions.

Many organizations struggle with how to translate climate goals into concrete actions at the building or portfolio level. We can support you in this. With our comprehensive range of services, we translate your ambitions into a concrete and measurable improvement plan.

Impact throughout life cycle

Through a life cycle assessment (LCA), we analyze energy and material use as well as emissions to air, water, and soil. This enables us to calculate the environmental impact over the entire life cycle. We can carry out LCAs for products, services, or buildings. For real estate assets, this assessment results in an MPG score (environmental performance of buildings).
