LOGISTICS


With online sales and e-commerce ever growing, the demand for logistics space far outstrips the supply, and investment in this market has grown significantly over the last few years. Efficiency is key in the logistics market, for both use of space and energy. With rising costs, low margins and a shortage of available space, investment in resource-efficient and environmentally sound solutions is key. 

Existing buildings pose the biggest problem, but switching to more efficient lighting can significantly reduce energy requirements and measuring and optimising processes can improve efficiency. Tenant engagement plays a vital role in this segment, since the direct control of the landlord is very restricted due to the industry-specific lease agreements. For new construction, on-site or local renewable energy and combining heat and power can provide large savings.

For us as an investment house with an exclusive focus on logistics real estate, a targeted ESG strategy is very important. We always feel well and competently advised by EnviroSustain. We are very happy about the great strategic cooperation since the beginning of 2020.

Managing physical climate risks

by Anna Höfer • 25 Mar, 2024
While many companies are already taking comprehensive measures to minimise the effects of climate change as far as possible, it is also true that climate change is inevitable in the near and distant future. This has already become noticeable in large parts of Germany with an increase in extreme weather events such as the flood disaster in the Ahr valley in 2021, numerous hot summers in recent years, or the constant rain and flooding at the beginning of this year. Companies should therefore address the risks that could arise from climate change and the associated increase in extreme weather events, for example at their different sites, as early as possible.
