Drag & drop

ESG in Focus

We believe that sustainable businesses are the future and we see that developing sustainable business models helps us to make the group more resilient to external influences. This was particularly noticeable in this year, which was driven by inflation, war, high construction prices, the interest rate turnaround and the energy crisis.

That is why we have further strengthened the focus on ESG and digitalisation in our corporate strategy. We have set ourselves ambitious ESG targets that now accompany us in every real estate project and in all important business areas. We understand ESG as a transformation process and are working on measuring our sustainability performance and optimising it from day to day.

Our ESG Report

"In 2022, we took an important step towards ESG strategy, as we decided to adapt our corporate strategy to the ever-growing importance of ESG. Now we can look forward to 2023 with confidence as the focus is on a sustainable organisation. We are convinced that investing in ESG will be a no-brainer and decisive success factor for our organisation and our environment in the long term", Andreas Köttl, CEO

"For us, joy is a driving force. It not only makes our projects and products exceptional, but also gives us the courage to take on every new challenge. We are committed to ensuring that future generations can also benefit from our sustainable living spaces, which we create today with responsibility and care." Michael Griesmayr, Founder & Chairman

"In these turbulent times, there is one constant - the need for innovation and change. From the energy transition to climate protection, from global supply chain issues to sharp price increases - it's time for bold action. That's why we have put our innovation power on a broad footing, because we are convinced that this is the foundation for sustainable success in all areas. With the Innovation Board and the Innovation Drivers from all units, we manage to pull this innovation power through the entire company and create enthusiasm for this important topic", Sabine Müller, CINO

We love partnerships

Because together we are stronger.

We value long-term partnerships very highly - at eye level, with appreciation and the firm conviction that we can inspire our customers and partners again and again. We are members of forward-looking associations that we believe make an important contribution to the industry and to the future. Because together we can use synergies, learn from each other and move things more easily.

Our internal Code of Conduct forms the basis of our work and our actions. It defines our ethical and moral standards and gives our employees a clear guideline for their daily actions.

By signing the Diversity Charter, we are sending a clear signal for diversity and inclusion in our company. We promote a corporate culture characterised by mutual respect and appreciation.

In addition, we are guided by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN-Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in our international business dealings and contracts. These guidelines and principles support us in conducting our business activities responsibly and in accordance with internationally recognised standards. Our internal policies reflect our values and principles and give them concrete form.
