Branicks Group expands business model to include renewables asset class and cooperates with Encavis Asset Management AG - Seite 2

"We are convinced that our expertise and network in the field of renewable energies, combined with Branicks' structuring and investment competence, will form a solid foundation for profitable and sustainable investments. Given the dynamic growth of renewable energies in Europe, this collaboration is a significant contribution to a successful energy transition," commented Karsten Mieth, Spokesman of Encavis Asset Management AG, on the partnership.

With more than ten years of established sustainability expertise, Branicks sets standards in the real estate sector in terms of analytics, consulting and the development, management and operation of properties. Decarbonization and ESG criteria are increasingly becoming the focus of investor and user interest and are an integral part of Branicks' corporate strategy and business activities. The development of an additional asset class "Renewables" is a logical step towards broadening Branicks' business spectrum.

Branicks already has an excellent reputation in the field of ESG, occupies top positions in ratings such as Morningstar Sustainalytics, S&P Global CSA and properties in the Branicks portfolio have been awarded renowned certificates such as DGNB, LEED or BREEAM, which demonstrate the highest sustainability standards.

The Commercial Portfolio segment comprises real estate held for our own account. Here, we generate cash flows from stable rent revenues on long-term leases while also optimizing the value of our portfolio assets through active management and realizing gains from sales.

In the Institutional Business segment, we earn recurrent fees from real estate services we provide to national and international institutional investors by structuring and managing investment products that return attractive dividend yields.
