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.
