With its Green Mission, Green Finance is focusing on sustainability in its core areas of real estate and sustainable energy.
Why forest ownership in Austria? When compared internationally, Austrian forests clearly distinguish themselves from those in other countries:
The forest has a dual function in this country, on the one hand as a recreational area and on the other as a supplier of raw materials. Forests are publicly accessible in this country and thus serve as sites for local recreation.
An essential advantage is obtained through their management: people not only prefer to walk in well- kept forests, but also use them to obtain a valuable resource, located directly in front of their own front door.
High tenant satisfaction in real estate projects
Reliable and timely handling of all services
Green Finance also focuses on sustainability when it comes to mobility in everyday working life. As of 2022, we have already converted 54% of our vehicle fleet to hybrid or electric drives. The aim is to increase this factor to 75% by 2024.
The Green Finance Group has donated EUR 5,000 to St. Isidor as part of a painting project for the new Green Business Center Linz and will receive 26 paintings in return. The money will be used to support the children at Villa Kunterbunt.
Background: In St Isidor, children are supported in curative educational and fully supervised residential groups. The lives of the children and young people do not only unfold at school and in the residential groups. The children enjoy spending time at "Villa Kunterbunt" in Isidor, an educational recreational programme made available by their department.
As part of a sensible use of our vacant office building at Leberstrasse 122 in Vienna's 11th district, we made it available to the WEGA task force. WEGA used our building for shooting, tactical, hostage rescue and anti-terrorism exercises. The WEGA task force is a special unit of the Austrian police in the federal capital of Vienna. The WEGA is primarily called upon for operations with an increased level of danger. Even though WEGA has been reformed many times over the years, it is the oldest special police unit in Austria.
As a thank you for the opportunity to train with us in the empty building, WEGA organised an on-site demonstration where visitors could experience WEGA's professionalism live. This performance was, for all of us, an experience that will remain in our memories for a long time to come.
There is hardly a worse thought than that of a terminally ill child. This makes it all the more important to use the remaining time sensibly. The Lichtblickhof is a place to live for children with serious and life-shortening illnesses. The Lichtblickhof team and the specially trained therapy horses and animals accompany families with the most difficult fates. Regardless of diagnoses and prognoses, it is possible here to gather moments of joy and strength for the tasks still to be mastered. The Green Finance Group is financially committed to Lichtblickhof and donates a considerable amount of money to this wonderful institution every December.
On the occasion of the 40th birthday of our CEO, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Christian Schauer, the guests were asked to give donations to the Upper Austrian Children's Cancer Aid (Oberösterreichische Kinder-Krebs-Hilfe) instead of presents. This resulted in a hefty sum of EUR 4,845. The 40th-birthday celebration was held in a small but beautiful setting, with an 80s theme. Dipl. Päd. Christiane Mundl, Deputy Chairwoman of Upper Austrian Children's Cancer Aid also gave a speech and received the check on site.
In real estate projects, the focus is on revitalization instead of new construction, and the involvement of the respective communities and nature and monument protection creates added value for society. Renewable resources such as the sun and the valuable and renewable raw material wood are used to generate energy.
In the municipality of Weng im Innkreis, an old building destined to be demolished stood in the middle of the town. Here, a long, vacant mixed area (an old farm with commercial space) is being completely revived. The building has now been demolished and professionally recycled and is being converted into modern and affordable living spaces.
Special focus is placed on recycling the old building: usable parts are sold, waste wood is turned into wood chips, the bricks are recycled and used for industrial construction, the broken concrete is used for the construction of the new building.
The new Green Business Center Linz (GBC Linz for short) was completed in summer 2023. The new building is a sustainable showcase project and offers a new workplace for around 180 people. All meeting and training rooms for Green Business Partners are available at the GBC Linz, and business partners from all countries and federal states have the opportunity to view the GBC Linz on site or take part in training courses.
The heating and cooling system of the GBC Linz is not only extremely economical to operate and maintain, but also 100% sustainable.
In the course of the underfloor heating, a raised floor with carpet was dispensed with and instead real wood parquet was installed in the offices and porcelain stoneware in the public areas. The Green Finance Group therefore works with the highest quality and most durable floor coverings.
The MEG Mauerkirchen project is one of the Green Finance Group's real estate projects. It is an old furniture store that has been converted and developed into a high-quality residential complex with 38 apartments. Using low-energy construction methods, with a large photovoltaic system, a playground on the roof of the building and a green atrium in the residential complex, this property is one of the most beautiful residential options in the entire district. The property was fully let within 1.5 years.
A special focus was placed on realising maximum, and sensible, use of the area. Among other things, a communal garden with a children's playground was thus created on the roof terrace, which is available to all tenants.
The Green Business Center Wien (GBC Wien for short) is one of our flagship projects when it comes to sustainable real estate.
Construction will be completed in about 2027. Particular attention is paid to sustainability and conservation of resources in the course of implementation.
For example, natural building materials such as wooden floors are installed in the office areas. Geothermal energy in the form of deep probes will be used to heat and cool the building. Photovoltaic modules are also planned. Great attention will also be paid to minimizing energy consumption: The goal is an optimized building envelope.
