As part of our acquisition process, we regularly conduct ESG due diligence. The findings from this process, particularly regarding any potential renovation needs, are incorporated into the financial valuation. Our goal is to make well-informed investment decisions and ensure the long-term usability and marketability of the properties.
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AT ART-INVEST REAL ESTATE
At Art-Invest Real Estate, we view environmental and social responsibility as an integral part of our corporate identity. With this in mind, we pursue an approach aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our business operations, both today and in the long term, particularly with regard to issues such as climate change and resource use. This approach is based on internal guidelines that guide our daily actions.
We ensure long-term economic success through responsible management of capital and resources. Integrity, compliance and forward-looking risk management form the basis of our actions.
Our goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions from our business operations and to incorporate considerations of climate resilience and resource efficiency into the development and operation of our properties. To this end, we explore the use of appropriate materials, renewable energy sources, and technical solutions wherever it is practical and economically feasible.
We create a healthy work environment and promote diversity and equal opportunity within our company. Through vibrant neighborhoods and open dialogue with our stakeholders, we foster a sense of community and build sustainable partnerships.
We invest in innovation, promote the exchange of knowledge, continuously refine our processes, and adapt flexibly to change. In this way, we aim to contribute to the development of forward-looking solutions and actively engage in industry-related dialogues.
DISCOVER OUR SUSTAINABILITY GUIDELINES IN DETAIL
OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY IS HOLISTIC
Acquisition
Fund management
Sustainability considerations are an integral part of our due diligence and decision-making processes. In doing so, we adhere to the guidelines of the EU Taxonomy and take our investors’ preferences into account within the framework of the respective product strategy. We ensure transparency through structured reporting, for example via GRESB, property-specific reports, and, where applicable, through classification under Articles 8 or 9 of the SFDR.
Development
In our project developments, we take selected sustainability aspects into account, depending on the objectives. We also assess the applicability of the EU Taxonomy on a project-by-project basis. Our goal is to develop functionally designed properties that offer users a high quality of life.
Asset management
During the operational phase, our focus is on tenant satisfaction, long-term value preservation, and forward-looking management. We take sustainability aspects into account in asset management and, where relevant, in our collaboration with tenants. Depending on the property and the specific conditions, we utilize tools such as green leases, technologies that support efficient building operations, photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient building systems, and smart metering solutions.

Our schedule
Individual ESG roadmap
Using property-specific ESG roadmaps, we address the long-term development needs of our properties (excluding project developments). Property-specific decarbonization strategies are already in place for approximately 70% of our portfolio (as of February 2026).
ESG platform
We have implemented an ESG data platform that enables the structured collection, analysis, and processing of selected performance metrics. This lays the groundwork for a consistent database (covering existing properties and project developments) and supports transparent and traceable reporting.
Smart Meters
Together with selected partners, we implement smart meter solutions to collect consumption data more transparently and create a solid foundation for optimizing building operations.
Employee recommendations
90% of our current and former employees recommend Art-Invest Real Estate on Kununu, with a strong rating of 4.4 stars.
