Responsibility

What is built to last.

For us, responsibility is not a programme but a yardstick in every decision – environmental, social and in the way we are governed. We invest for the long term and with our own capital; what we build, operate and finance should hold up for the next generation too.

01 / 03

Environmental

We build, operate and invest with the ambition of genuine climate neutrality.

01

Climate neutrality is a design premise for us, not a later offset: we develop and operate buildings so they work in a genuinely CO₂-neutral way – with local generation, storage and efficient technology.

02

We rely on genuine green power from our own and regional generation rather than purchased certificates.

03

We conserve resources across the whole life cycle – from construction to operation.

04

In our technology investments we assess whether a company contributes to the energy transition, to efficiency and to conserving resources.

05

For existing buildings we take over, we look for ways to improve their CO₂ balance.

02 / 03

Social

We see ourselves as part of the region in which we invest.

01

We award contracts preferentially to local construction and trade firms – value creation that stays in the region.

02

We create and maintain living and working space and, where needed, provide a permanently committed compensation for affordable housing. Different generations and ways of life deliberately come together here – families, singles and retirees, different cultures in one place.

03

Publicly accessible open spaces and places to meet are part of our projects – a gain for the whole neighbourhood.

04

We accompany selected non-profit organisations over the long term rather than sporadically.

05

We create an environment that integrates different generations.

03 / 03

Governance

We operate as a single family office with clear structures and responsibility in one hand.

01

We decide independently and without short-term return pressure from outside – with our own clear investment discipline.

02

Compliance and family governance are firmly anchored through our family-office unit.

03

We take on advisory-board and holding mandates only where we can genuinely contribute.

04

We communicate with restraint – and keep what we promise.

05

We have agreed clear principles for leadership and strategy – and we adhere to them.

// Example · Illenauwiesen Campus

How these principles work together is shown by the Illenauwiesen Campus in Achern: built to the Efficiency House 40 standard and designed for climate neutrality, car-free above ground, supplied locally by Future Energy, with a public park along the Mühlbach and a permanently committed compensation for affordable housing. Different generations and ways of life deliberately come together here – families, singles and retirees, different cultures in one place. Not a showcase for the brochure, but a benchmark we transfer to further projects.
