In today's business world, where sustainability and health play a central role, it is no longer enough to simply manage ESG projects. A deep understanding of the multiple impacts of sustainability risks and the importance of allergy-friendly construction is crucial. This is where the combination of sustainability management, BREEAM DE inventory and AFBA auditor comes into play.
As Cotecda GmbH, we support companies in implementing strategies to improve their environmental and social performance. At the same time, our license as a BREEAM DE Bestandauditor enables us to assess and certify the environmental performance of buildings and, as an AFBA auditor, to check and monitor the standards for allergy-friendly construction.
This combination makes sense for several reasons:
- Holistic view of sustainability and health: We can look at ESG projects not only from an environmental and social sustainability perspective, but also consider the health aspects through allergy-friendly construction and environmental performance through BREEAM. This allows us to identify and prioritize projects that offer both environmental and health benefits while minimizing environmental impact.
- Extended risk management: Our expertise as an AFBA and BREEAM auditor enables us to identify and assess potential health and environmental risks associated with buildings at an early stage. This enables us to take proactive measures to mitigate these risks and protect health, wellbeing and the environment.
- Sustainability, health and environmental performance go hand in hand: Our diverse qualifications underline the fact that sustainability, health and environmental performance are inextricably linked. Investors, stakeholders and other interest groups can be confident that ESG projects not only take environmental and social aspects into account, but also promote people's health and protect the environment.
- Competitive advantage through holistic sustainability: Companies that effectively manage ESG projects while understanding the importance of allergy-friendly construction and the environmental performance of buildings can gain a significant competitive advantage. They are better able to attract investors, gain stakeholder confidence and ensure long-term success by creating buildings that are both sustainable, healthy and environmentally friendly.
- Increase in real estate value: BREEAM certification can increase the value of properties as they are recognized as sustainable and environmentally friendly. This can lead to higher rental income and sales values.
- Cost savings: BREEAM-certified buildings are often more energy efficient and have lower operating costs, which can lead to long-term cost savings.
- CSRD reporting: Both the BREEAM Green Building and the AFBA certificate help to create credible CSRD reports that cover a variety of relevant aspects of sustainability and meet the requirements of the CSRD.
The combination of AFBA and BREEAM auditor is a decisive step towards a holistic sustainability strategy that also takes people's health and the environment into account. It enables companies to successfully implement ESG projects, manage health and environmental risks and create long-term value - both for the company itself and for society and the environment.
