Our approach to
responsible construction

ESG stands for Environment, Social, and Governance. As shown in the overview above, we work concretely across parameters concerning our environmental, social, and governance impact. Our mission is to turn these three letters into concrete actions.

LCA stands for Life Cycle Assessment. An LCA calculation is key to documenting our environmental footprint and is, therefore, a prerequisite for meeting the climate requirements of the building code – from material production to the day the property may be demolished and the materials recycled or disposed of.

DGNB is a certification originating from the less pronounceable Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen. The scheme targets the property and construction sectors and is based on a holistic approach to sustainability with three main pillars: social, economic, and environmental sustainability according to the UN’s definition. Where requested, we construct our buildings to meet DGNB certification standards.

The EU’s environmental taxonomy will, in the coming years, impose even stricter requirements on the property sector regarding implementing, documenting, and reporting sustainable initiatives. We have repeatedly sought advice in this area from the consultancy firm The Footprint Firm, which specialises in sustainability.

The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals are binding for all member states. They define the course for sustainable and global development, and at Bennu Development, we particularly focus on the goals that we, as part of the property sector, can influence.
