Corestate converts its entire €17 billion portfolio in Germany to green electricity and thus extends its pioneering role in real estate ESG strategy

• Savings of 104,000 tons of CO2 in the commercial portfolio by 2024
• Anticipation of future sustainability requirements by investors and regulation
• Higher efficiencies through real-time monitoring

Frankfurt/Main, August 17, 2020. Corestate Capital Holding S.A. (Corestate), a leading independent real estate investment manager in Europe, will be converting its entire €17 billion portfolio managed in Germany to green electricity over the next few months. The company recently switched completely to green energy in the commercial real estate asset class (€ 3.5 billion AuM) and has digitalized its entire metering point operations. This will save 104,000 tons of CO2 already by the end of 2024.

Lars Schnidrig, CEO of Corestate Capital Group: "Corestate made a commitment very early on to define quantifiable ESG objectives and to be measured by the results. The conversion of our portfolio to a CO2-neutral energy supply in conjunction with digital access to real-time data represents an important step with which we are further expanding our pioneering ESG role and making a positive contribution." Corestate will publish its new fully digitalized ESG report on August 24, 2020. The report will detail the implementation of the overall strategy, as well as concrete measures and new environmental, social and governance objectives across the Group. Corestate thus comprehensively anticipates the increasing importance of ecological and social factors in real estate asset management. Both on the part of regulators and investors, the quantitative recording of sustainability factors and the ecological footprint is increasingly becoming the focus of investments.

As part of the operational implementation, the operating costs company Westbridge Advisory GmbH was commissioned to restructure and sustainably optimize Corestate's German real estate portfolio. The portfolio can now be monitored continuously across the board and in real time, and optimization options can be effectively implemented. Stadtwerke Düsseldorf has been commissioned to supply the properties in the commercial portfolio.
