EHL and Sustainability

Quality Education
Inclusive and equitable quality education, skills and expertise for greater sustainability and life-long learning for everyone form the agenda here. SDG 4 wants to make sure that all people have access to quality education – independent of gender, origin, economic conditions or other factors. The EHL materiality analysis confirmed “training and education“ as one of the five most important areas of activity for internal and external stakeholders. Both issues have had high priority for EHL ever since our founding. EHL places high value on excellent training and education. All our employees receive regular branch-specific training and are also able to register for additional sessions during working hours. Our employees took part in a total of 10,020 training and education hours during 2022, whereby women registered 5,988 of these hours. We provide full or partial financing for educational costs. By 2025, we will have identified the individual training needs of all our employees and prepared suitable offers. EHL employees can take part in webinars and seminars on issues related to housing regulations free of charge. The well-known housing rights expert Christoph Kothbauer holds these courses at our invitation.
EHL’s cooperation partners include the following institutions, universities and other research facilities: ACE Vienna University of Technology, the Universities of Applied Sciences in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt, the Danube University Krems, ÖVI Im- mobilienakademie, ImmoZert, FIABCI International Real Estate Association, ULI Urban Land Institute, ÖGNI, RICS and Immo ABS Alumni Association of ACE Vienna University of Technology. We share our discussions with experts and practical experience in real estate on our EHL podcast “Let’s talk about housing“. Examples of these subjects include changes in housing laws, building certification, property appraisal, sustainable construction, digitalisation in real estate marketing and living in the age of home office. EHL is also a member of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). This worldwide professional association plays an important role in training and education as well as the development and implementation of quality standards. Michael Ehlmaier and Franz Pöltl are “Fellows of RICS“, while 12 other EHL employees are classified as “Professional Member of RICS“. One point not to forget: Our EHL market reports have provided readers with first-hand, up-to-date information and analyses of markets and locations for over 20 years.
