Global issues are decided in cities and urban areas: Climate change, social justice, healthy living and work of the future. The real estate industry plays an important role in answering these questions. Our goal is to actively contribute to a sustainable, resilient, and liveable city. As we can only be successful in the long term in a stable economic environment if we pay attention to the overall well-being of the environment and the people.
As a developer and investment manager, we are committed to treating people and resources responsibly. We have set ourselves important sustainability goals in ethical, social, environmental and economic terms. We focus on three areas: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). These ESG criteria are firmly embedded in our culture and form the basis of our values-based corporate governance.

ESG Scoring
We make sustainability measurable: with our Quantum ESG Scoring, we continuously analyse the environmental and social criteria of our properties. We consider criteria such as energy efficiency, CO2 emissions, resource conservation, health and well-being, social cohesion and social tenant management in developments, investment decisions and asset management.
Social Impact Code
For us, a sustainable real estate industry should also take into account social aspects and demand-driven housing supply. The Quantum Social Impact Code focuses on five social objectives - affordable and decent housing, stable neighbourhoods, social participation and a healthy living environment. In this way, we not only add value for the tenants of our properties, but also create an environment that is worth living in for everyone. Socially sustainable investment and development ensures the future viability and value of our properties and in addition contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
