ENVIRONMENTAL | SOCIAL | GOVERNANCE
Asto Group aims to develop sustainably attractive properties that offer long-term added value. During implementation, asto is guided by the climate goals and the 2030 Agenda to best assume ecological, social, and corporate responsibility.
The sustainable development of campus projects requires a holistic and integrative approach. In keeping with the ONE approach, asto creates a place where collaboration between different disciplines, sectors, and actors is possible. This is how asto Group brings sustainable construction together with human well-being.
Together with everyone involved, asto Group is therefore developing flexible, multivariable spaces tailored to the user that meet changing user needs and the user experience. Asto offers an inclusive work environment that promotes the health, safety, and well-being of users. At the same time, the goal is to make business activities as resource-efficient and sustainable as possible during construction.
Asto strives to reduce possible negative effects of its activities. For the campus projects, asto therefore implements energy efficiency measures, relies on renewable energies, limits resource consumption, and thus increases the use of the property. Sustainable building materials, smart mobility concepts, effective building automation, and PV systems are examples of sustainable operations. Asto Group acts as a proactive, transparent, and responsible designer who is aware of the physical and transitory challenges and promotes responsible development together with all stakeholders.
The ESG concept together with the ONE approach reinforces and complements each other in sustainable development and the necessary transformation for the generations of tomorrow. Asto Group's project developments can therefore meet the increasing demands for environmental and social responsibility and benefit from innovative strength and resilience.
