WE BELIEVE IN WHAT WE DO

The construction and management of buildings account for at least a third of all carbon emissions, threatening efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. That’s why we have been driving sustainability in construction with skill and boundless enthusiasm – since 2010.

Upholding a sustainable image within the construction industry and the real estate sector is a compelling vision that we take very seriously. With this in mind, one thing we do is help our clients meet ESG targets for the buildings they develop and manage at home and abroad.
In the process, we have become the market leader for a range of national and international green building certifications.

We take great pride in our clients and the dedication they demonstrate.

Anke Koch

CEO & Founder

Let’s join forces as allies, designing properties and entire districts that are fit for the future. We promise to be by your side, thinking ahead in partnership as you engage with an experienced team that is always striving for viable new paths. This ensures effective work on your property as well as successful communications with public authorities, banks and tenants.

We do things the Hanseatic way – no buzzwords or jargon. After all, sustainability is not just a trend: it is the honest and tangible product of careful thinking and hard work.

Christine Recke

CO-CEO

I believe sustainability is not just an option, but an indispensable principle of progress. 

My vision, therefore, is to play a part in shaping a future in which environmental, social and economic considerations are intelligently balanced against healthy levels of prosperity and growth.
