Our vision is to create sustainable real estate solutions that will prove valuable both for the present and for future generations. We pursue a holistic approach that takes environmental, social and economic aspects equally into account. Innovation and responsibility are instrumental for the way in which we create sustainable values. Our manage-to-ESG measures form a key component of this vision, and break down as follows:
Our ESG measures are transparently communicated – through efficient data management, recognised certifications and periodic benchmark reporting.
Our logistics property developments meet the latest requirements for the DGNB “Gold” certificate. We thereby set standards that ensure we live up to our ecological, economical and social responsibility.
Our warehouses are preconfigured to accommodate the greatest possible surface use by photovoltaic systems. Thus, we create the basis for the efficient and sustainable generation of electricity directly on site.
Our warehouses are heated without the use of fossil fuels. This helps to protect the climate and meets tomorrow’s requirements even today. At the same time, we optimise the carbon output during construction.
By planting regional species, we actively promote the biodiversity of our green spaces. This creates valuable habitats for insects and small animals.
By integrating sitting nooks into outside areas, we create attractive community spaces.
We meet the requirements of Germany’s Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG) by installing at least one charging point per building and by equipping 30% of the parking spots with empty conduits and adequate distribution reserves.

Sustainable energy generation has become more urgent than ever – and photovoltaics (PV) plays a key role in this context. Like others, we have analysed the potential of our real properties and found they present a great opportunity for the use of PV systems. Especially existing properties provide unused surfaces that could contribute to the sustainable generation of electricity. On top of helping to protect the environment, such upgrades also imply financial benefits for owners and tenants.
We are also committed to sustainability when it comes to new-build structures as we include all preliminary set-up features that are necessary to achieve maximum PV occupancy. We prepare roof surfaces for their efficient use in future electricity generation, obviating the need for costly retrofitting measures.
Learn more about the immense PV potential of roof surfaces in Germany and about the opportunities they present for a future defined by sustainable energy use.
Our best practices are characterised by the innovative solutions and concrete actions we use to implement sustainability in our projects. The section below includes examples illustrating how we convert our environmental, social and economic responsibility into concrete action.
Our logistics property in the Bavarian town of Straubing sets new standards with its sustainable construction type, consistently using timber as primary building material. The innovative wood construction has drastically lowered the building’s carbon footprint while creating an resource-conserving, energy-efficient building structure. Further augmented by modern sustainability solutions, the building meets the highest ESG standards and combines environmental responsibility with a forward-looking logistics approach.
In direct proximity to Hanover Airport, GARBE created an industrial logistics park of about 15,500 sqm that includes modern office and social areas. The sustainably constructed property is DGNB “Gold” rated and equipped with a photovoltaic system.
In the north-east corner of the Ruhr, GARBE developed a modern, resource-conserving logistics property on a former brownfield of 296,000 sqm. The revitalisation of the derelict site created new floor space for economic use without sealing additional greenfield land. The property is built for optimal energy-efficiency and boasts sustainable infrastructure.
