Vision for the future

ESG is the phrase on everyone’s lips.

We are taking on responsibility

Today and in the future.

As part of the Green Deal, the EU is defining new rules for a sustainable economy on several levels. The term ESG stands for Environmental Social Governance. Environmental refers to ecological responsibility, social refers to societal responsibility, while governance refers to the dimension of responsible corporate management. At JP, this approach has been a priority for us from the very beginning, and we have pushed it not only when it comes to the environmental aspect, but the other ESG criteria, too. The real estate industry in particular can contribute significantly to a shift towards sustainability.

“Looking ahead and taking responsibility for our cultural, social and ecological environment are the cornerstones of our company culture.”

Dr Daniel Jelitzka on the sustainable identity of JP Real Estate

ENVIRONMENTAL. Our commitment to the environment

Nurturing nature.

In our core business – the construction and renovation of buildings – we are particularly confronted with the need to take responsibility for the environment. This is why ecology is a top priority in our projects and is implemented in concrete measures. These include charging stations for electric vehicles, powering communal areas using photovoltaics, with the surpluses from this being fed into the general grid, electric cars for the residential community or heating supplied from geothermal energy, air-source heat pumps or district heating instead of gas. We are also moving forward in our efforts in going green with building digitalisation. puck, the good spirit in the home, creates environmentally friendly added value for the property as well as for the surrounding neighbourhood with various components – from apps to notice boards to parcel boxes – for example, by controlling watering according to actual demand or by users supporting their local corner shop.

Here are some examples of our environmental commitment:

Resource-saving construction

Our ecological building materials, climate-friendly heating systems such as geothermal or solar heating or surface cooling, LED lighting or green space concepts for the microclimate are state of the art in every project.

Building digitalisation

With puck, the good spirit in the home, we provide innovative digital solutions for buildings that also help to improve building technology and energy efficiency.

Bicycles

In urban areas in particular, we use this climate-friendly form of transport, which is also extremely versatile and gets us to our destination quickly.

Electric cars

The environmentally friendly vehicles in our fleet are smart and attractive, while also helping us travel in a resource-saving way.

Electric charging

The transport of the future is electric. And that’s why electric charging stations have been integrated into our new construction projects right from the start.

Photovoltaic systems and solar panels

Photovoltaic systems and solar panels ensure the environmentally friendly use of renewable energy.

Building component activation

We use low-temperature surface heating and cooling systems in all our new construction projects. And we often work with thermal component activation.

Geothermal

A few years ago, we decided not to use heating gas in any of our new construction projects.

SOCIAL. Our commitment TO SOCIETY AND CULTURE

There for one another.

Since our very beginnings, we have been involved in design, architecture and contemporary art. Art and culture are incredibly important for society. They highlight social debates and point beyond everyday events. For us, they detect social developments that we want to recognise and influence. Artists help us to look beyond the horizon of daily events. Young artists help us to look at where society is going and what their generation has to say to us. Above all, it is the careful preservation and shaping of the environment that they show us is a pressing issue. That is why we provide space and support for them; for example, as a long-standing sponsor of the Burgtheater or as the initiator of Superscape, the architecture prize for innovative and visionary concepts. We also take care of social issues within our company culture with numerous employee benefits and a liveable working environment.

Here are some examples of our commitment to young art:

The Burgtheater and Akademietheater

The Burgtheater, known simply as the “Burg”, is a cultural institution in an imposing building on Ringstraße and is an important part of the identity of both Vienna and Austria.
