TLG Immobilien : IM­MO­BILIEN pub­lishes its third sus­tain­abil­ity re­port in ac­cor­dance with GRI and EPRA

TLG IMMOBILIEN publishes its third sustainability report in accordance with GRI and EPRA

- Current key economic, ecological and social figures

- Statistics on the procurement of green electricity and carbon-neutral gas as well as other fuels reported for the first time

- New code of conduct for service providers and signing of the Diversity Charter in 2017

Berlin, 5 July 2018 - TLG IMMOBILIEN AG (DE000A12B8Z4) published its sustainability report for the 2017 financial year today. The report focuses not only on the previously published key economic figures, but also the social and ecological sustainability of the Group. The sustainability report has been prepared voluntarily once again and is based on the internationally recognised standard guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations for Sustainability Reporting, the European real estate sector reporting standard.

DEVELOPMENT OF KEY ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL FIGURES
The current report builds on the key ecological figures, especially by breaking down the energy sources used to generate heat and electricity. Ever since 2017, the company has been purchasing green electricity and carbon-neutral gas for its offices, common parts areas and vacant areas in large sections of its portfolio. Additionally, the consumption statistics provided by tenants with regard to independently purchased energy are broken down further and the corresponding CO₂ emissions reported in this reporting year.

In terms of key social figures which are reported in even more detail this year in line with EPRA, employee satisfaction is particularly noteworthy. The employee surveys that have been carried out annually since 2015 show positive development, with employee satisfaction increasing across all aspects.

SUSTAINABLE COMPANY DEVELOPMENT MEASURES
In 2017, TLG IMMOBILIEN continued to implement various measures intended to spur on its sustainable development. These measures include the development and communication of a code of conduct for service providers and employees (see here), tips on how to preserve resources for tenants (see here), signing the Diversity Charter with its voluntary undertakings (more in­for­ma­tion) and the introduction of the employee mentoring programme 'Fit4Growth' in order to retain young, high-potential individuals within the company. Additionally, the office property Kapweg 3-5 in Berlin was certified by WiredScore in 2017. In this certification, the PropTech company has developed an internationally unique system for rating the digital infrastructure of commercial properties. Moreover, the office property 'astropark' in Frankfurt, part of the portfolio of TLG IMMOBILIEN, was awarded a Gold certification by WiredScore in June 2018.

'We are very happy about the increase in employee satisfaction in particular. Our employees are the foundation of our economic success in recent years as well as of our planned future growth', explains Niclas Karoff, member of the Management Board of TLG IMMOBILIEN. 'Our stated objective is to use our sustainability reports to continue augmenting the transparency that we deliver through our regular financial reports. We want to take all of our stakeholders and their requirements into consideration. In this context, we plan to update the stakeholder survey that was carried out in 2017 in 2019.
