ESG is short for "Environmental, Social, Governance". The ESG criteria are used in the evaluation of companies or investments and relate to the areas of environment, social affairs and responsible corporate governance. In the real estate sector, the environmental performance of buildings is increasingly coming into focus within the "Environmental" area. Measures such as energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy use and smart waste management are aspects that are included in the assessment according to ESG criteria.With the aedifion cloud platform, ESG targets can be realized thanks to energy savings of up to 40 percent. ESK criteria are increasingly impacting the value stability and development of commercial real estate. Many institutional investors and funds are increasingly committed to sustainable investments and track properties that meet ESG criteria. Sustainability in building operations is thus increasingly becoming a strategic decision.
