Climate Action The minimisation of greenhouse gas emissions, clean energy and more resistant communities and ecosystems are urgently required. Our answer is focused on more sustainable properties, ESG- compatible management and decarbonisation. The construction and operation of all properties in Europe are responsible for roughly 40 % of total energy consumption and nearly 36 % of CO2 emissions in the EU – and here, the potential for savings is enormous. EHL’s real estate experts are experienced in all areas of the branch. For appraisal, acquisition or sale, rental or management as well as project development, we have the right teams. Their expertise and experience guarantee the best possible advising and support for our customers. Every EHL assignment is based on extensive information with specially designed solutions. Our sustainable property management is supported by the precise monitoring of energy and water consumption and waste generation. The results flow into recommendations for specific steps to improve efficiency and reduce costs. We also work together with experienced building physicists to identify and evaluate the relevant parameters for structural factors. Traffic is responsible for roughly 20 % of worldwide CO2 emissions and, at EHL, we have also consequently used this as a starting point. Our mobility strategy is focused on sustainability. Environmentally friendly travel is supported by several (electric) bicycles and a car pool with six autos which are available for all 220 employees. Ninety of our employees use our free annual ticket for the Vienna public transportation system and 14 employees currently use the EHL climate ticket for longer distances.
