At CC Real we conduct our business with the aim of improving environmental protection and promoting socially responsible behaviour.

As our business continues to evolve, we are developing a comprehensive ESG framework that builds on our existing environmental and sustainability commitments.

CC Real's sustainability strategy includes environmental, social and governance measures that guide our daily sustainability efforts. This allows us to give priority to the care and creation of value for our customers, our employees and the communities in which our assets are located.

Environmental Objectives

CC Real is committed to ESG, as demonstrated by our actions to improve energy efficiency, reduce consumption and transition to renewable and clean energy sources. We aim to achieve net zero by 2040, managing our buildings to minimise our carbon footprint and become carbon neutral.

Our focus on reducing waste and maximising recycling and reuse is in line with our sustainable practices, as are our efforts to reduce water consumption and wastewater discharge, while maximising water reuse and recycling.

We identify and implement opportunities to offset our carbon footprint, including promoting sustainable mobility solutions and integrating biodiversity into our projects. We prioritise the use of recycled and sustainable building materials in all our development, refurbishment and construction projects to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability.

Our willingness to adopt new asset-level technologies and approaches to improve our carbon footprint more efficiently further demonstrates our commitment to sustainability. We also strive to achieve green building certifications such as DGNB and BREEAM.

Social Objectives

We are authentic, focused, energetic, engaged and committed leaders who are aligned with the company’s vision and goals. We foster an open, honest and respectful work environment where everyone can express their ideas and provide feedback.

CC Real leads by example, follows established procedures and is committed to diversity and equality across cultures, experiences, views, age, race and gender. We prioritise safety and wellbeing, managing health and safety to reduce workplace risks and promoting engaging work opportunities. And we respect privacy and protect personal information, creating a trusted and secure work environment.

We believe in building community and fostering a culture driven by our values and beliefs. We balance retaining existing employees with attracting new talent and ideas, recruiting to sustain our culture and develop our team. We prioritise integrity, openness, honesty, fairness and empathy in our dealings with partners, clients, customers and suppliers.

We actively engage with suppliers and service providers to prevent modern slavery and protect human rights. We create and promote spaces that serve the real needs of their communities and believe that our company and our team should make a positive contribution to the community through financial support and volunteering.

Governance Objectives

Our strategy is driven by our corporate vision, which inspires us to achieve our goals and priorities. A simple mission brings clarity to our actions and keeps us focused on delivering results. Effective leadership drives improvement and learning, and a transparent decision-making structure ensures that all relevant input is respectfully considered and challenged. Clear roles with delegation and empowerment, coupled with accountability, bring structural clarity to our organisation.

Competitive and fair compensation for managers and employees ensures that we retain top talent and operate efficiently. Our commitment to implementing good ESG practices ensures sustainability for our business and the wider community.

We prioritise open and transparent structures that respect personal confidentiality and foster an inclusive and respectful team culture free from harassment, bullying and inequality. Our partnerships reflect our values and we seek to resolve conflicts and disputes in a transparent, fair and sensitive manner, proactively managing conflicts of interest or competing agendas. We are committed to regulatory compliance, with a conservative view of management activities and full disclosure of financial and tax information.

We audit and report on all aspects of our business, avoiding corruption and bribery while ensuring transparency and disclosure and respecting privacy and confidentiality. Our proactive approach to risk management focuses on what matters most and helps us deal with challenges effectively.
