Reporting on Aspects of the Non-financial Group Declaration

The Non-financial Group Declaration sets out the relevant concepts, the accompanying due diligence processes, the results of the concept and the status of implementation of the measures for each material topic.

• Environmental issues: Reducing CO₂ in the real estate portfolio, sustainable new construction and refurbishment
• Social issues: Neighborhood development and contribution to infrastructure, fairly priced housing, homes that meet tenant needs and demographic change, customer satisfaction and service quality
• Employee issues: Appeal as an employer, diversity and equal opportunities
• Combating corruption and bribery: Governance and Compliance

“Appeal on the capital market” has been identified as an additional material topic for Vonovia. Information on the “Respect for human rights” aspect, which is a requirement under the German Commercial Code (HGB), is also reported in the Non-financial Group Declaration.
