The Tattersall Lorenz corporate group has published its sustainability report for financial year 2025. The consolidated reporting covers Tattersall Lorenz Immobilienmanagement GmbH and subsidiary talyo. Property Services GmbH, and is based for the first time on the specifications of the European VSME standard. The aim is to harmonise and systematically capture all environmental, social and corporate governance activities.
In this context, Susanne Tattersall, Managing Partner of the corporate group, emphasises the significance of sound foundations for decision-making, stating that sustainability forms the foundation of long-term property management. She notes that owners and institutional investors rely on robust data and concrete recommendations for action to manage portfolios in a financially sound, future-proof manner, and that environmental criteria must always be analysed in alignment with technical options and standard market parameters.
Portfolio data and operational emissions balance
At the close of the reporting year, the corporate group managed a portfolio of around 6.24 million square metres of lettable space across eight locations in Germany, divided into 12,508 individual leases. The company sourced electricity for its own office locations entirely from renewable sources. Total operational energy consumption came to 536,686 kilowatt-hours, resulting in location-based Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions of 152.19 tonnes of CO2 equivalents.
To systematically evaluate consumption data, Tattersall Lorenz collaborates with the service provider Planted. An expansion of data recording to cover indirect Scope 3 emissions is planned for forthcoming reporting periods. In tandem, the company's vehicle fleet is to be converted entirely to hybrid and electric drives by 2030. The company is initially refraining from rigid reduction targets, as the vast majority of consumption is attributable to the heating supply of leased office space, where building services can only be influenced to a limited degree.
Expansion of ESG capacities in portfolio management
In active building management, the service provider is increasingly drawing on certification and analysis tools for client portfolios. Since the end of 2025, two in-house BREEAM in-use auditors have been assisting clients with certification procedures. In addition, the company relies on a partnership with Predium to pool consumption data digitally, formulate building-specific risk profiles and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of energy-efficiency measures.

- —An average of 7.36 hours of further training per capita for the 277 staff members during the reporting year
Through its commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact and ongoing workforce training, the company links ecological transformation with regulatory reliability, a factor that is becoming ever more relevant for institutional portfolio owners in light of tightening reporting requirements.
