  • Climate neutrality by 2050

Measures

  • Procure energy from renewable sources
  • Increase the energy efficiency of buildings
  • Phase-out of fossil fuel heating
  • Reduce embodiend emissions of new development projects
  • Tenant involvement (green lease programme) 

Sustainability certifications as proxy for building quality

In order to provide transparent and internationally comparable evidence of building quality across the entire portfolio, CA Immo has strategic properties and new development projects certified. In this context, internationally established, holistic sustainability standards such as DGNB, LEED and BREEAM are applied. By book value, around 79% of the entire CA Immo portfolio were certified as at 31 December 2024 (excl. short-term property assets acc. to IFRS 5). Including buildings undergoing certification or refurbishment as at the reporting date,
the certification rate was 84%. 

With our ongoing environmental initiatives, we have already begun our journey toward a sustainable, CO2-neutral economy with the goal of making CA Immo future-proof. Details can be found in our ESG report.
