Green Leases: Real estate & sustainability
Companies that do not optimise holistic sustainability and applicable standards will suffer competitive disadvantages in the future. Particular attention should be paid to ensuring that properties such as company headquarters or factory buildings meet the standards of the planned sustainability strategy. So-called green leases could replace or supplement conventional leases in the future. The aim of green leases is sustainable property management in which the owner and property management company commit to sustainable property management, while the tenants, on the other hand, guarantee green and sustainable use.
Working together for green properties
Sustainable property management and green leases are not (yet) mandatory in Germany. A look at neighbouring France shows that a "green" annex to commercial leases has been mandatory there for almost 10 years. These more sustainable rental agreements face the challenge of making the consumption of energy, water, heat and waste more transparent and measurable throughout the entire rental period in order to subsequently strive for optimisations that are sustainable and economical on this basis. Green leases in Germany are also increasingly incorporating these concepts. This allows tenants and property owners to jointly invest in their green goals in terms of carbon footprint, climate protection and recycling.
Ecological sustainability through smart waste solutions
Companies that fail to optimise holistic sustainability and applicable standards will suffer competitive disadvantages in the future. Particular attention should be paid to ensuring that properties, such as company headquarters or factory buildings, meet the standards of the planned sustainability strategy. So-called green leases could replace or supplement conventional leases in the future. The aim of green leases is sustainable property management in which the owner and property management company commit to sustainable property management, while the tenants, on the other hand, guarantee green and sustainable use.
For this reason, Hailo digital_hub has created smart technical solutions that support companies in implementing sustainable property management based on tangible data. For example, waste bins can be equipped with intelligent sensors that provide greater transparency and a deeper understanding of waste generation processes. The corresponding data can then be used to initiate new developments that can make a significant contribution to avoiding waste and actively reducing the ecological footprint.
Green Leases: Sustainability is the future
More and more customers, partners and employees are now measuring a company by its management and its development in terms of sustainability. How much consideration is given to the environment and social responsibility? How much waste is produced and how much energy and water is consumed? Are green commitments anchored in the lease for the entire term of the lease? How sustainable is the property management?
Everything in the green
The requirements for green buildings are the lowest possible water and energy consumption, a modern waste cycle and the consideration of the health and well-being of employees and neighbours in the planning. On the basis of green leases, joint sustainable management, administration and utilisation should then lead to long-term sustainable property management. The challenges for the property industry are considerable. Nevertheless, green leases with green property management are very popular because they demonstrate social, technical and ecological responsibility.
Management: Only what can be measured can be optimised
Green leases and green properties and their sustainable use are key components of a consistent sustainability policy. In order to keep up with the times, it is necessary to develop strategies that enable continuous optimisation through technology and information. With its Smart Waste Solutions, Hailo digital_hub offers you digital real-time data, innovative strategies and detailed reporting to help you optimise the requirements of your green lease with targeted green measures.
