ESRS 2 – General Disclosures

BP-1 – General Basis for Preparation of Sustainability Statements

Vonovia SE’s sustainability statement is prepared on a consolidated basis.

The scope of consolidation matches that used in Vonovia’s consolidated financial statements and includes the activities of Vonovia and its subsidiaries in Germany, Austria and Sweden, including Deutsche Wohnen SE (hereinafter referred to as Deutsche Wohnen). These companies are listed in the list of shareholdings in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Companies with minority interests and apartments owned by third parties are not included.

Deutsche Wohnen will not be issuing its own sustainability statement for the 2025 fiscal year, as it is exercising its rights under the simplifying provision for CSR reporting pursuant to Sections 289b (2) and 315b (2) HGB.

The Care segment, which had still been presented as a discontinued operation pursuant to IFRS 5 in the previous fiscal year, was sold in full in 2025. In order to ensure that the latest information can be compared with the prior-year information, the information reported for 2024 has been split in two, allowing this year’s data to be compared against the prior-year data for “continuing operations.”

Alongside our own business, the sustainability statement also covers the upstream and downstream value chain, in particular suppliers, business partners and customers. These were taken into account in assessing impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) as part of the materiality assessment.

Vonovia has not used the option to omit a specific piece of information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how or the results of innovation.
