Green leasing is an investment that delivers measurable benefits

Green lease agreements are becoming the foundation of modern commercial real estate
management. More and more tenants, especially international corporations, are actively
seeking spaces in buildings that meet high environmental standards. This shift is not only
driven by legal regulations but also by growing expectations related to ESG. Market
reports indicate that green leases are gaining importance as tenants aim to reduce costs,
lower carbon emissions, and optimise resource consumption.
Collaborative approach to sustainability
At IMV Polska, we recognise the potential of working with tenants to implement
sustainable practices at various levels, from energy management and recycling to efficient
water use. Market examples demonstrate that such joint efforts can reduce a building’s
operational costs by 10-15%. Monitoring environmental performance is also key for
us—regular reporting on energy and water consumption is not just a requirement but also
a strategic tool for optimising operations.
Green lease agreements help implement innovative solutions that lower operating costs
while enhancing corporate reputation. Moreover, with rising energy prices and new
regulations, particularly in the context of the EU Green Deal, these agreements are
becoming the standard. International markets where we operate, such as Austria, show
that green-certified buildings with LEED or BREEAM attract higher-quality tenants and
command premium rental rates.
Green lease agreements as a market advantage
For IMV Polska, working with tenants is not just about fulfilling contractual obligations—it’s
about creating a valuable, sustainable offer for our clients. Tenants who adopt
environmentally responsible practices become more attractive in the market, increasing
the overall value of the property. Green leasing provides a platform for dialogue with
tenants who may initially be concerned about costs but ultimately recognise the long-term
savings and customer satisfaction benefits.
The future of real estate management will be built on green solutions that benefit all
stakeholders. By working together toward sustainability, our buildings become more
competitive and future-proof. Green leasing is an investment that delivers real, measurable
advantages for both property owners and tenants.
