      Energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, physical climate risks and future requirements for buildings (including the EPBD and the GModG) can influence investment needs, operating costs, financing, lettability and transaction decisions. This can give rise to both risks and opportunities. For property owners, investors, lenders and occupiers, sustainability therefore goes beyond reporting and regulation. It is directly incorporated into property and portfolio decisions. 

      KPMG identifies the relevant sustainability factors, analyses their financial and operational implications, and develops options for action at both property and portfolio level.

      KPMG ist CRREM Accredited Service Provider

      KPMG in Germany is accredited under the CRREM Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Programme. CRREM stands for Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor. The accreditation demonstrates a consistent and transparent application of the CRREM methodology. In practical terms, this means the following for companies:

      • Analysis of the energy and emissions performance of properties based on the relevant CRREM pathways
      • Identification of potential transition risks
      • Integration of decarbonisation measures with CAPEX, OPEX and economic viability analyses

      Sustainable Value Creation: Decarbonisation as an investment decision

      Sustainable Value Creation considers sustainability in conjunction with the economic and strategic development of property and portfolios. We translate measures along the CRREM pathways into investment perspectives. In doing so, we analyse how these measures may influence investment requirements, operating costs, risk profile, market positioning and long-term value growth. We align climate targets, feasibility and business and investment priorities.
