Protecting the environment, focusing on social matters and governance is at the heart of Adler Group's operations. Excellence in ESG is part of the three main pillars of the company's long-term strategy. Since the publication of Adler Group's first sustainability report earlier this year, the company has continued to make progress. An ESG Board was founded which is led by Sven-Christian Frank, Chief Legal Officer and reports directly to the senior management of the company and is in charge of all ESG related activities in the company. Adler Group has become a member of the UN Global Compact and subscribes to the targets of the organisation. The company has also become a member of the German Association of Sustainable Building (DGNB). It has committed itself that all new buildings will comply with the DGNB Gold standard or the comparable LEED standard, building carbon-neutral buildings for the better future. A similar certification shall be obtained for all major modernisation projects, including energetic improvements of existing buildings, aiming to modernise around 1% of its residential portfolio each year. Sven-Christian Frank, CLO of Adler Group commented: "This is a major milestone in our efforts to bring environment, social matters and governance at the forefront of everything we do. It is very encouraging to see external recognition for all the efforts we have put into increasing our transparency around ESG and improvements we have already implemented, particularly when it comes to corporate governance."
