About BREEAM

BREEAM has been one of the leading international certification systems for assessing the sustainability of real estate since 1990. Thanks to its holistic approach, BREEAM enables buildings to be compared worldwide on the basis of defined sustainability targets. It assesses properties in categories such as management, health and well-being, energy, transportation, water, materials, waste, land use and ecology, and pollution. The system defines clear sustainability standards and, thanks to its global comparability, provides a uniform assessment standard that can be applied to existing buildings as well as new builds and refurbishment projects. BREEAM promotes the recording of the current sustainability status and the continuous optimization of buildings through the recurring recertification process.

Thanks to its international relevance and broad applicability, BREEAM certification supports user satisfaction and the long-term value retention of properties - a clear added value for owners, tenants and sustainability goals. In Germany, over 50 percent of all office buildings in the Aroundtown portfolio are already BREEAM-certified; in the Netherlands, the entire office portfolio is certified.
