ista’s new brand vision: carbon-free real estate by 2040

16 per cent* of CO₂ emissions in Germany come from the building sector. These emissions must now be reduced if the German government's goal of climate-neutral residential buildings by 2045 is to be achieved. For the real estate industry, this means a huge challenge with no alternative. After all, anybody who does not comply with the requirements loses the "future licence" for their properties. But ista does not leave its customers and partners on their own. With ista’s newly developed brand vision of carbon-free real estate by 2040, ista even makes a promise: to work together with its customers and partners to ensure the future viability of their properties and help them achieve their goals.
