FOR PEOPLE. FOR PLACES. FOR TOMORROW.
Value Beyond – 2026 Sustainability Report
Dear Reader,
Our mission and our passion is to operate, develop, and design the shopping centers we manage in a way that ensures their long-term economic success, sustainability, and value.
To achieve this, it is essential to continuously develop and transform the properties, proactively adapt them to market trends and growing regulatory requirements, and thereby invest in their resilience.
Sustainability plays a key role in this and can significantly contribute to the long-term attractiveness and competitiveness of real estate assets. Strong ESG performance can protect and enhance the value of the assets under our management. To achieve this goal and actively, efficiently, and asset-specifically drive the required transformation process, we leverage our extensive real estate expertise and comprehensive ESG know-how to develop sustainable strategies for transforming the assets, taking relevant ESG requirements into account.
These include measures aimed at using energy and other resources more efficiently, as well as accounting for physical climate risks, deploying digital tools and innovations, and complying with regulatory requirements. Which measures are practical and feasible depends on the conditions and requirements of each individual property. In addition, we advocate for the interests of this asset class through our involvement in industry associations or political lobbying. Our social impact strategy strengthens the centers’ role in society as vibrant social gathering places. With the strategy, we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to sustainability, considering all its facets. It is an integral part of our corporate strategy. We actively promote it as our contribution to the future of the economy, the environment, and society, and it is a key element in our collaboration with our stakeholders, creating added value for tenants, visitors, financing banks, and, consequently, the owners of the properties.
I hope you find this a valuable read,
Yours,
Joanna Fisher
