BREEAM Portfolio Certification

AXA’s existing portfolio has to be assessed according to a sustainability system. The focus is on properties which are no longer new but also not in the renovation cycle.

In a first step, different certification systems for existing buildings were compared and evaluated. BREEAM In-Use was identified as the most suitable system for AXA. This result was verified in feasibility studies of various properties and in a test certification. Since summer 2019, the certification of 5 properties has been carried out within the framework of a pilot phase for portfolio certification according to BREEAM In-Use, which was concluded with the audit at the end of 2019. With BREEAM In-Use, properties can be assessed in 3 parts – part 1: buildings, part 2: operater and part 3: users. For the portfolio of AXA part 1 and in cooperation with the operators part 2 will be certified.
