Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword at CTP: it’s been part of our DNA from the start. We built the first BREEAM-certified "Outstanding" building outside of the UK in 2013 and in 2021 we became the first major developer to certify its entire portfolio under the BREEAM scheme. As the long-term owner, developer and operator of our properties, we maximise value by developing sustainably and building trust and lasting relationships. We're proud of our long history of giving back to the communities where we operate and of our reputation as an ethical and accountable business partner.

Our ESG Pillars

As we grow as a company, we continue to deepen our ESG goals and increase disclosure. We have developed a four-pillar approach to systemise ESG topics that our material to our activities and have set clearly defined KPIs for each pillar to chart results. The pillars capture focus areas and represent interlinked groups of activities.

Striving to be Climate Positive

Our long-term ambition is to become climate positive covering all our activities. Our mid-term goal is to achieve net carbon neutrality in all three Scopes as defined by the GHG Protocol. To get there, we prioritise energy efficiency, renewable energy, responsible procurement and waste management.

Embedding Parks in Communities

We've always taken a big-picture approach to business, which includes good corporate citizenship and making positive contributions to the communities where we operate.

Stimulating Social Impact and Well-being

Our impact goes far beyond the parks and buildings that we create. Our business brings people together, and we place a premium on supporting their well-being.

Conduct Business With Integrity

We have strict corporate governance policies and structures in place to ensure that we are always acting in a transparent and ethical manner. Treating all stakeholders fairly and with respect is engrained in our business ethos and underpins strong long-term relationships.

ESG comes naturally to CTP. We've always been committed to long-term, sustainable development.

CTP has high ambitions for green building certifications and energy efficiency standards. We certify all new buildings to the BREEAM “Very Good” standard or better, incorporating industry-leading technological and environmental specifications to mitigate any negative impacts on the environment. We've introduced ISO 140001 and ISO 50001 standards to improve environmental and energy management in the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia and are working to unify these standards across all our markets.

Striving to be Climate Positive

We are committed to being climate positive and reducing our environmental footprint. We prioritise sustainability throughout our operations with energy-efficient buildings and park design, renewable energy, ecological materials, responsible procurement and resource and waste management, and carbon offsetting through forest management.

Our dedicated client-focused approach supports your sustainability requirements. We’ve introduced green lease clauses to our rental contracts, generate and source renenewable energy, and promote the use of electric vehicles by providing charging infrastructure in our parks. We’ve also introduced a Supplier Code of Conduct for our suppliers that sets out our shared values of integrity, compliance and sustainability and ensures sustainable practices throughout the value chain.

Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Responsibility is central to our business ethos. We strive to make a positive impact on society and the environment through our sustainable operations, community engagement, and ethical business conduct. We prioritise responsible resource management, reduce our carbon footprint, and promote social well-being. We actively collaborate with local communities, support educational initiatives, and invest in infrastructure development. Our commitment to corporate responsibility extends to our supply chain, where we uphold high ethical standards and promote fair and transparent practices. By acting responsibly, we contribute to a better future for all stakeholders.

To ensure the proper governance of ESG topics throughout the company, including climate-related risks and opportunities, CTP has established an ESG Committee consisting of non-Executive Directors and guests, including the Executive Directors and the Group Head of ESG. The committee meets regularly to ensure that strategies are ESG-compliant and that ESG targets are met.

Sustainable Real Estate

The demand for sustainable property solutions continues to grow across all industry sectors and markets. Increasingly, our clients are requiring that their new facilities align with their ESG strategies, with high energy efficiency, and that they follow circular economy principles of waste management, recycling and resource usage. This creates new opportunities and drives business growth by implementing sustainable real estate solutions, like the launch of our energy business in 2022, which generates renewable energy on-site at our parks for clients. This reduces their overall cost of occupancy, bolsters their ESG credentials, and helps the planet by reducing harmful emissions.

To help reach our goal of becoming climate positive in our operations, we have also developed lifecycle assessments for selected properties to reduce the embodied carbon footprint of our development activities.

Sustainability Reporting

We believe in transparently sharing our sustainability performance through comprehensive reporting. In 2022, we presented our first annual Sustainability Report, which provides a detailed overview of our ESG initiatives, progress, and targets. It also includes our first EU Taxonomy report showing how CTP’s sustainability ambitions align with EU Taxonomy requirements. To showcase our commitment to responsible business practices, environmental stewardship, and positive social impact, we follow internationally recognised reporting frameworks and standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), EPRA sustainability Best Practices Recommendations, and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
