ECE involved in associations

AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF POLITICS

Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are the biggest challenges of our time. ECE therefore helps policymakers to achieve rapid progress with the climate targets they have set. To ensure that solutions are both practicable and sensible for companies, ECE shares its practical expertise with those who draw up the regulatory framework. ECE’s sustainability experts and engineers monitor developments and get involved at an early stage in close cooperation with investors and retailers on the committees of industry associations such as the German Property Federation (ZIA), the German Retail Federation (HDE), and the European Council of Shopping Places (ECSP) – currently chaired by Joanna Fisher, CEO of ECE Marketplaces.

  • Developing an industry standard for green leases

  • Working to find a practicable way to implement Article 14 of the EPBD relating to e-charging infrastructure requirements in existing properties. In doing so, the association advocates a needs-based expansion of charging points, taking the performance of the charging points into account rather than the number.

  • The number of bicycle parking spaces should also be based on the needs of visitors instead of on rigid rules.

  • Playing a constructive role in finding solutions as part of the national implementation of European requirements for the expansion of e-charging infrastructure and solar panels in the retail sector

  • Devising concrete solutions to problems around connecting to EV charging networks

Energy and building technology

  • Developing practical solutions for the real estate industry in relation to the amended Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

  • Constructively supporting the EPBD’s implementation in domestic law

  • Formulating a position on more practicable energy certificates in line with minimum energy performance requirements for commercial properties in Germany
     

Corporate responsibility

  • Seeking practical solutions to help stakeholders in the real estate industry meet regulatory and market-specific reporting requirements
