As part of its Sustainability Strategy 2025 , CREAG has set itself 18 specific sustainability goals up to 2025 in its five fields of responsible action .
CREAG`s sustainability goals are focused on six of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations where, by fulfilling them, CREAG can make the most effective contribution in the course of its business activities, selected real estate investment solutions as well as its social commitment.
The sustainability goals also serve to guide our sustainability activities and support the fulfillment of our vision, to make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the environment, the economy and society.
1. THE SUSTAINABILITY GOALS 2025 FOR THE FIELD OF “RESPONSIBLE CORPORATE MANAGEMENT“
Our professional, responsible and transparent actions as part of our responsible corporate management aims at creating long-term added value both for the environment, society and our investors, tenants and employees as well as for our business and client relationships.

2. THE SUSTAINABILITY GOALS 2025 FOR THE FIELD OF „RESPONSIBLE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS“
Our claim is to set up and manage our real estate investment solutions in the interests of our investors. One of the ways we do this is by developing forward-looking investment products and services that generate financial returns while aiming at the same time to take responsible action that bears our investors, the environment and society in mind. We additionally take ecological and/or social criteria into consideration in selected funds.
The integration of ecological and/or social aspects also aims to ensure the future viability of the investment solutions, for example with regard to future social and regulatory developments in the area of sustainability. At the same time, they also set out to make a positive contribution to permanently sustainable environmental, economic and social development.
We have therefore set ourselves the following CREAG sustainability goal 2025 in the field of “Responsible real estate investment solutions”:
