Setting the course for the company’s climate neutrality goal
Comprehensive sustainability management for Berlin TXL

In 2020, the last flight departed from Berlin TXL. Following this, the site was handed over to Tegel Projekt GmbH. Their mission: to plan and implement a cutting-edge, innovative, and sustainable model district. Intep supports the state-owned company on its path to climate neutrality by establishing a sustainability management system and the associated reporting framework.

The starting point

The former Tegel airport makes way for Berlin. On the 500-hectare site, a research and industrial park for urban technologies – the Urban Tech Republic – and a new residential district, the Schumacher Quartier, are being developed. The Schumacher Quartier will provide a home for more than 10,000 people, designed to be climate-neutral, resilient, and socially diverse. With its high sustainability standards, this urban development project is among the most ambitious in Europe.

The State of Berlin has entrusted Tegel Projekt GmbH with the development and management of both the Urban Tech Republic and the Schumacher Quartier. The company employs over 100 staff members and has a clear objective: to position itself strategically for sustainability and achieve climate neutrality by 2045.

Our contribution

Since 2023, we have been supporting Tegel Projekt GmbH in strategically consolidating its sustainability efforts. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the state-owned company and its Berlin TXL project, we are developing and implementing a sustainability management system for Tegel Projekt GmbH. Our work focuses on conducting a materiality analysis to identify relevant sustainability priorities, developing measurable goals and concrete actions, engaging stakeholders comprehensively, establishing legally compliant sustainability reporting, and implementing robust controlling and monitoring processes.

With intep as its partner, Tegel Projekt GmbH ensures that its actions align consistently with sustainability criteria, laying the foundation for achieving its climate neutrality target. We are proud to contribute to making sustainability an integral and holistic part of the Berlin TXL flagship project.
