Deutsche Wohnen wins the 2018 EPRA Sustainability Gold Award
 

Berlin, 06 September 2018. Deutsche Wohnen has won this year's EPRA Sustainability Gold Award in the context of the annual EPRA conference in Berlin. Philip Grosse, CFO of Deutsche Wohnen: "EPRA is one of the key European property industry associations, so I am delighted to receive this award. It will be an incentive for us to further advance the transparency and continuity of our reporting on this key issue."
 

EPRA [European Public Real Estate Association], the association of listed property companies, has given out the Sustainability Awards every year since 2012. Their aim is to encourage companies in the property industry to be more transparent and open with regard to their sustainability reporting, in line with the EPRA Best Practice Recommendations on Sustainability Reporting [EPRA sBPR]. The third version of these guidelines was introduced in September 2017. Deutsche Wohnen adapts them to its reporting, in order to ensure consistency and comparability for investors in the European property industry. In addition to the environmental impact of its property portfolio and own administrative offices, Deutsche Wohnen's EPRA Sustainability Reporting 2018 also covers social and governance performance indicators for the first time.

Along with the award for sustainability reporting, the company received the EPRA BPR Gold Award for transparency in financial reporting.
