ESG

The consequences of climate change are increasingly unveiling. Logistics – with its many transports along the entire supply chain – and logistics real estate with its enormous building dimensions have a high potential and numerous opportunities to become more sustainable.

Many logistics companies are already reducing their carbon footprint through extensive measures or are on a path towards climate neutrality.

There are various possibilities to reduce the environmental impact of logistics properties, too.

LIP, as one of the leading investors in logistics real estate, is therefore highly committed to the ESG criteria – the protection of the environment, social justice and a responsible corporate governance.

LIP not only sets high standards for itself, but also demands corresponding measures and behaviour from its business partners.

In addition to the corporate level, we have set our own ESG targets for our funds as well as our properties, introduced assessment tools, installed an ESG reporting and compiled tangible measures towards a more climate-friendly future.

Logistics real estates as a source of energy

For every purchase, we have fixed aspects of energy efficiency and environmental compatibility in our purchasing criteria, which are reviewed by external partners as part of an ESG due diligence. To identify approaches for a sustainable operation of our logistics properties at an early stage, we oblige all tenants and users to record their consumption data and report it to us. As part of our asset management, efficiency measures are derived from this and implemented together with the tenants.

Logistics real estates as a source of energy

Due to their large roof areas, logistics properties are particularly suitable for the installation of photovoltaic systems and thus for generating climate-friendly energy. As part of its ESG strategy, LIP has set itself the goal of installing photovoltaic systems on 60% of the potentially usable roof areas within 5 years.

To achieve this ambitious goal, LIP has found a strategic partner in AvanLog Solar.
