Environmental Policy

LEG reports on its commitment to environment in the Sustainability Report which is integrated in the Annual Report and LEG’s Sustainability Strategy and Sustainability Factbook. These form the basis of the environmental guidelines.  

Principles of the Environmental Policy

LEG reports on the three central areas Environment €, Social (S) and Governance in the sustainability report. 

In the ‘environment’ area, the focus is on climate protection and the sustainable transformation of the portfolio. LEG is pursuing ambitious climate targets: to reduce 47% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and to become almost greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. The focus is therefore on emissions efficiency. 

To achieve these targets, measures from the following three clusters are being implemented:

1. Emission-efficient heat supply
2. Reduced energy requirements
3. Energetic refurbishment 

We involve our tenants by informing them about energy saving measures and their individual energy consumption - so tenants can also make an active contribution to CO2 reduction with their behavior.

Focus of our environmental activities 

The following beliefs and commitments underscore LEG's environmental commitment and linked strategic environmental approach: 

• LEG firmly believes that the company has major responsibility for the impact of its actions on the environment. Reducing emissions is a key necessity in this regard.
• LEG supports the energy transition, climate protection and adaptation to climate change, as well as the achievement of climate goals set by policymakers.
• LEG sets itself measurable, quantifiable and publicly communicated targets for the emission-efficient improvement of its portfolio and reports on the stages on the achievement of the targets as well as on the related initiatives. In this way, LEG has its environmental performance externally monitored.
• LEG prepares a consumption-based CO2 balance for reporting emissions, which is based on actual consumption data.
• LEG makes sure that its building activities are environmentally acceptable and comply with the disposal standards, laws and regulations in force.
• The company maintains an active dialogue with all stakeholder groups on environmental issues, emissions reduction initiatives and targets achieved.
• Circular economy, biodiversity, water savings and mobility are further environmental topics
