How will our sustainability benefit you?

Sustainability is co-operation – objectives are only reached by setting common goals and working towards them.

01

Smaller carbon footprint

Selecting energy-efficient properties and the ecological use of office space are among the most significant ways in which a company can affect the size of its carbon footprint and contribute to mitigating climate change.

02

Significant cost savings

Our energy efficiency schemes help you optimise the energy consumption of your premises and maximise the savings you make. Our new office spaces always have at least 20% better energy efficiency than is required in building regulations.

03

Sustainable brand value

Our environmental partnership programmes help you implement sustainable values in your corporate culture. You premises will provide you with sustainability data that you can use to communicate your environmental actions to your stakeholders.

04

Ecological transport

Travelling to our properties located in traffic hubs and close to extensive services is easy and ecological. Our coworking spaces help optimise the travel of your stakeholders and remote workers, too.

05

Health and wellbeing

Sustainably designed and ergonomic office spaces promote the wellbeing of your personnel and customers. Smart property automation guarantees optimal working conditions every hour of the day and every day of the year.

06

Solutions for the future

You can utilise the latest IoT technology in our property development and renovation projects. We are adding electric car charging points and renewable energy production to our properties.
