Sustainability Report 2022
The construction and real estate industry is facing major challenges. The real estate sector is responsible for approx. 30 percent of CO2 emissions in Germany. It is crucial to reduce this number significantly, and the Gröner Group is committed to take on this task. We are rethinking our approach, driving the necessary ecological transformation, and advocating for a new kind of building and urban development. We take responsibility for our employees and we are committed to a sustainable society for generations to come.
In 2022, we published our first sustainability report, which outlines how we are implementing our sustainability strategy, addressing future challenges, and driving initiatives for the future.
