Dear Readers,
we are delighted to present our new EHL Immobilien Group sustainability report. As a leading property service provider in Austria, we consider ourselves to have a special responsibility towards the environment, our customers, employees and society. We have therefore decided to voluntarily report on our commitment to de- veloping the EHL Immobilien Group into a sustainable group of companies and our ESG strategy. Our aim is to make a contribution to greater sustainability and social responsibility without any legal obligation and to provide continuous and transpar- ent information about our progress.
The real estate industry in particular bears a significant responsibility in the fight against climate change.
In the future, sustainability aspects will play an increasingly important role in social development and economic activities in order to achieve the cli- mate targets set by the EU Commission. The real estate industry in particular bears a significant responsibility in the fight against climate change.
As one of the main sources of CO2 emissions, our industry can make a significant contribution to overcoming these challenges. It is therefore crucial that every company in the value chain, from developers to professionals to service providers, fulfils its environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities and supports the 2040 and 2050 targets. Although, as a service provider, we neither build nor own property, this report is in- tended to illustrate our commitment in the relevant areas of our business activities. We therefore inform you about our progress in the areas of environmental protec- tion, social responsibility and corporate governance and substantiate this with concrete measures to show that sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us. To ensure the highest quality standards and comprehensive, transparent reporting, we have prepared this report in accordance with the internationally recognised GRI standards and had it externally audited by BDO Assurance GmbH.
Yours,
Michael Ehlmaier
