Shaping a sustainable future

Project development based on ESG

ESG pro­vi­des gui­dance on how to avo­id future risks for com­pa­nies and their pro­ducts in the con­text of envi­ron­men­tal and social issues of socie­ty as well as cor­po­ra­te gover­nan­ce.

For the resi­den­ti­al asset class, B3 Deve­lo­p­ment has defi­ned a cata­lo­gue that struc­tures the three dimen­si­ons E, S and G into nine fields of action* and 25 cri­te­ria.

This defi­nes the tar­get cor­ri­dor for our pro­ject deve­lo­p­ment, the sus­taina­bi­li­ty of our invest­ments and our con­tri­bu­ti­on to the socio-eco­lo­gi­cal trans­for­ma­ti­on of socie­ty through urban deve­lo­p­ment.
Mea­sura­ble indi­ca­tors pro­vi­de the data frame­work for com­pre­hen­si­ve sus­taina­bi­li­ty report­ing.

Our modern forms of housing for later life are invest­ments that com­bi­ne envi­ron­men­tal sus­taina­bi­li­ty with a respon­se to the social aspects of demo­gra­phic chan­ge, the S and E dimen­si­ons per se. The housing con­cept responds to the desi­re for com­mu­ni­ty, socie­ty and secu­ri­ty for an acti­ve, self-deter­mi­ned old age. The design is sca­lable, the con­s­truc­tion is seri­al, modu­lar and sys­te­mic with a focus on the CO2 life­cy­cle, and stri­ving to be QNG cer­ti­fied.
