ESG-ALIGNED LOGISTICS PARK IN THE BIOTECH & RESEARCH CLUSTER

In the heart of the Mainz-Hechtsheim biotech cluster, we are developing a sustainable logistics park that intelligently combines research, production and distribution. The property is being gradually upgraded to enhance energy performance and will have an ESG-aligned infrastructure – including BREEAM certification. A high-performance and sustainably designed location in the heart of the Rhine-Main region.

Location and Connection

The property is located in Mainz-Hechtsheim, a leading economic region for logistics, pharmaceuticals and production. The city is one of Germany’s leading biotech clusters and is home to a large number of well-known companies, renowned research institutions and universities.

Thanks to the excellent transport connections, the location offers ideal conditions for logistics companies:

  • Direct connection to the A63 and A60 highways
  • Short distances to Frankfurt International Airport
  • Well connected to public transport – ideal for workforce mobility and accessibility

History

The 17,300 m² site was originally built on in 1976 and extended in 2002. Today, the property is fully let and hosts leading businesses including

  • Schott AG – Global technology group with focus on specialty glass and advanced ceramics
  • Atrikom Fulfillment GmbH – Specialist for project-related logistics and services
  • Rock’n Rooms Rhein-Main GmbH – Provider of flexible storage and event space

In addition, the roof is leased to a PV system operator, which means that the property is already contributing to a sustainable energy supply.

Project status & ESG-Strategy

The property will be successively modernized in terms of energy efficiency in order to increase the ESG conformity of the property:

  • Roof renovation to improve building efficiency
  • Conversion to LED lighting for an energy-efficient lighting solution
  • Supplementing the existing gas heating system with a heat pump to reduce the carbon footprint
  • Aiming for BREEAM “Very Good” certification to ensure high ESG standards

These measures not only increase the sustainability of the property, but also increase its future-readiness as an efficient logistics hub in the Rhine-Main region.

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.

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.
