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. Subsequently, the site was handed over to Tegel Projekt GmbH. Their mission: planning and implementing a ultra-modern, 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.

The starting point

The former Tegel Airport make space for Berlin. The 500-hectare site will host the Urban Tech Republic, a research and industrial park for urban technologies, and the Schumacher Quartier, a new residential district accommodating over 10,000 people: climate-neutral, resilient and socially diverse. A vast landscape area, the Tegeler Stadtheide, is also planned. With its high sustainability standards, the urban development project is one of the most ambitious in all of Europe.

The state of Berlin has entrusted Tegel Projekt GmbH with the development and management of the Urban Tech Republic, the Schumacher Quarter, and a landscape park as part of the Tegeler Stadtheide. The company employs over 70 people and has an important goal: achieving climate neutrality well before 2050.

Our contribution

Intep supports Tegel Projekt GmbH in establishing a sustainability management system. This is based on an analysis of the entire Berlin TXL project, taking into account the requirements of the German Sustainability Code (DNK). Based on this, we define goals and measures, determine responsibilities and initiate appropriate reporting. In this context, we prepare a declaration in accordance with the DNK standard, a sustainability report and a service description for the tendering and awarding of corresponding services from 2025.

With intep at its side, Tegel Projekt GmbH ensures that its actions are consistently aligned with sustainability criteria, laying the foundation for achieving its self-imposed climate neutrality goal. We are pleased to be able to contribute to the holistic approach and implementation of sustainability in the Berlin TXL flagship project.
