Our Annual Report
The protection of the climate and environment are key topics for the future of our company and for the long-term success of our business. As the housing industry market leader in Europe, we bear a significant responsibility and a duty to set an example. We view this as an opportunity to promote environmental and climate protection within our neighborhoods and across the industry as a whole. Climate protection in our real estate portfolio and sustainable construction and refurbishment is a particular area of focus for us. Additionally, we remain attentive to adapting to the impacts of climate change, preserving biodiversity, managing water resources, and advancing the circular economy.

The mitigation of global warming and the protection of natural resources for life on Earth are among the most crucial challenges facing society as a whole in our time. Therefore, environmental and climate protection is accorded paramount importance within our sustainability strategy.
Targets set at the international level, such as the Paris Agreement and the European Union Green Deal, as well as those established at the national level, such as the German Federal Government's goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, hold high significance for Vonovia in this regard.
