DEMIRE is expanding its ESG database to cover almost its entire portfolio and is continuing to drive forward decarbonization
Langen, 25 June 2026. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG ("DEMIRE"; ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) made further progress in 2025 in implementing its sustainability strategy. ESG data collection was extended to cover almost the entire property portfolio, technical optimisation measures to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions were implemented, and green electricity contracts were concluded for all general electricity consumption. These developments are documented in the 2025/2026 Sustainability Report published today.
"With the near-complete collection of consumption and emissions data for our portfolio, we have reached an important milestone," explains Dr Dirk Rüffel, CEO of DEMIRE. "This improved data set enables us to drive forward the decarbonisation of our portfolio in a targeted manner and to measure our progress."
Almost complete ESG data collection
DEMIRE now has consumption and emissions data for almost the entire property portfolio. This expanded database provides the basis for a more precise analysis of energy consumption and the targeted implementation of efficiency measures.
Technical improvements reduce emissions
Based on detailed consumption analyses, work began on implementing technical optimisations to building services systems in several properties. The savings achieved are already having a positive impact on energy consumption and CO2 emissions at portfolio level. In relation to lettable area, the emission intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions fell by 2.6% in 2025. At the same time, contracts were signed to supply green electricity for all general electricity consumption, which will further reduce the portfolio's greenhouse gas emissions in the long term.
Outlook: Focus on decarbonisation and e-mobility
In 2026, DEMIRE will continue to optimise its properties from a technical perspective and implement further measures to reduce emissions. At the same time, the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles will be expanded in selected properties in line with demand. The aim remains to set the property portfolio on a climate-friendly development path in the long term.
The current sustainability report was prepared in accordance with the EPRA Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (sBPR) and has been externally audited.
