A clearly structured study
Great numbers, also for the feedback We used two online questionnaires with
identical content for both internal and external stakeholders. In both questionnaires, we first asked about the relevance of the sustaina- bility topic. If the topic was categorised as relevant, questions on the impact on people and the environment followed. Stakeholders were asked to assess the potential and actual impacts in this context (in terms of extent, scope and remediability). We also carried out an assessment of financial materiality. A ques- tionnaire was sent to the managing directors in which the potential amount of the financial impact and its probability of occurrence were assessed. We chose this two-stage approach in order to precisely record the potential impact on people and the environment for topics with high relevance. If a topic was considered to be of high importance in terms of relevance and impact, we ranked it correspondingly higher in the materiality analysis. Impacts of EHL that are considered to be particularly significant indicate opportunities and potential disad- vantages for people or the environment. This makes it possible to avoid hazards in advance and realise improvements more quickly. We reached a total of 493 internal and external stakeholders. And we achieved an impressive net response rate of 38.1 % of fully completed questionnaires. The study was conducted in the period from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023. EHL Immobilien Group underwent a restructuring on 1 December 2023, which could have a potential impact on the data and analyses presented here. In order to take account of this reorganisation and its potential impact on the relevance of sustain- ability topics, a new survey with subsequent materiality analysis is planned as part of the preparation of the next sustainability report in 2026.
In advance, we defined 13 fields of action and 52 sustainability topics based on the ESRS drafts (as of August 2022) and the GRI Standards (2021) and identified (company- specific) topics based on these.
