ESG-Compliant Energy Solutions
Manage to green

With the Agenda 2030, the international community has set itself goals for sustainable development. SDG 7 is intended to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy. The almost complete decarbonisation of energy systems coupled with a focus on renewable energy, energy conservation, and the greatest possible energy efficiency have thus become central components of the energy revolution and international climate policy.

INBRIGHT Energy offers ESG-compliant energy solutions for owners and tenants of commercial properties. This division, founded as a Joint Venture with energy service provider GETEC, is a major step towards sustainability and decarbonisation of all INBRIGHT buildings. Light-industrial and office properties will be fitted with technologies that deliver significantly higher CO2 savings compared to standard solutions. As a one-stop solution, INBRIGHT Energy tackles the energy aspects of the “second rent”.

Challenges with
Existing buildings

Upgrading the energy profile of existing buildings constitutes a major challenge: pipelines, fire protection, structures are but a few which underscore the complexity of the task. In the spirit of sustainability, it can be particularly worthwhile to modernise building portfolios because building services offer the greatest potential for energy savings. INBRIGHT Energy devises holistic concepts and implements them professionally for both building owners and tenants.

Photovoltaics

Operating photovoltaic systems to generate energy is a central element of modern ways of supplying energy to buildings. Light-industrial buildings, in particular, offer considerable potential for local generation and consumption of energy thanks to their ratio of roof surfaces to consumption. Building owners and tenants need not get side-tracked with installation, operation, and electricity management. All this is handled by INBRIGHT Energy.

Heating Technology

Along with energy generation, energy consumption plays a key role in holistic energy concepts. The focus here is on energy-efficient and intelligent heating systems. Owners and tenants do not need to deal with the technical details. They are given a one-stop solution for setting up and maintaining a modern heating system.

How we derived Our ESG strategy

In an initial workshop, we first developed core values for our company. The development of an ESG strategy for INBRIGHT is based on this: main topics were determined and validated based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a two-day workshop. On the one hand, the topics result from the requirements of national and international industry standards and frameworks, such as DGNB, LEED and GRESB, and, on the other hand, from general sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Sustainable Development Goals. The list of topics was ultimately supplemented by specific industry requirements from the Light Industrial area. The collection of topics was classified based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a materiality assessment using a two-dimensional matrix with the dimensions “Relevance to business” and “Effects on the government and society”. The topics with the highest values in both dimensions, and hence being above the materiality threshold, form the basis of our ESG strategy or our sustainability programme. The materiality assessment is revalidated annually with the participation of internal and external stakeholders and the assessment of the topics is adjusted accordingly. 

Our Contribution to the sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the member states of the United Nations.
They set a road map for the sustainable social, economic and environmental transformation of our world by 2030.

The SDGs also offer us as a company a framework for contributing to a positive future for the world. Our ESG strategy is our contribution to tackling the greatest worldwide challenges, especially to achieving the following SDGs:

We respect diversity, a fair pay and participation structure and the indivdual promotion of out team members, thus contributing to equality of opportunity.

Economic success and a profitable investment strategy are for us the foundation for securing attractive jobs in the long term and contributing to healthy economic growth.

We promote a low-emission infrastructure by locating our properties close to existing residential areas, offering our tenants access to public transport. We modernise and reposition old industrial and commercial properties to make their use lower in emissions, cleaner and more flexible, thus making a noticeable contribution to sustainable industry.

When building and repairing our properties, we are careful to use innovative and engery-efficient systems so as to aviod unnecessary environmental pressures on the surrounding area. Wherever compatible with legislation and the comfort demands of our users, we reduce technical equipment to a minimum to promote the longevity of our properties.

We align both our company and our property projects to ESG criteria. This includes planning our properties in a way that is sparing of resources and ensures them a long useful life with maximum flexibility. We also maintain open interactions in the spirit of partnership with all those involved – from planners and building firms through to the eventual user.

Reducing emissions, especially CO2 emissions, has a high priority for us within our ESG strategy. We as a company aim to reduce and compensate for our CO2 footprint to make the most effective contribution we can to protecting the climate.
