Vienna, 25.06.2025 – UBM Development continues to maintain its leading position for sustainability among Austria’s listed companies: The latest index adjustment in June 2025 confirmed UBM’s listing in the VÖNIX – VBV’s Austrian Sustainability Index – for a further year.
In February, UBM Development received a “B“ grade in the CDP rating for the third time in succession to underscore its commitment in the fight against climate change. One particular highlight was the increase to “B“ for water security, which stands for a significant improvement over the previous year. CDP is internationally recognised as the gold standard for environmental reporting and provides the most comprehensive data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities of companies and cities.
“ESG lives – especially in the financing area. This sector leadership continues to give us an important competitive advantage,“ commented Thomas G. Winkler, CEO of UBM Development AG.
Platinum from EcoVadis
The EcoVadis Platinum rating again positions UBM among the Top 1% of the over 150,000 companies evaluated worldwide. The analysis covers the four most important sustainability issues based on 21 criteria: the environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. UBM’s performance clearly exceeded the industry average in all four categories, not least due to the consistent implementation of measures which are extensively and transparently communicated in the annual ESG report.
Prime Status from ISS ESG
Renewed confirmation of Prime Status and a B rating from ISS ESG have made UBM the most sustainable company in the construction and real estate sector in Germany and Austria for four years. The sustainability analysts evaluate the ecological, social and corporate governance performance of companies based on roughly 100 selected sector-specific criteria. Prime Status is only awarded to leading companies in the respective sector.
UBM Development is one of Europe´s leading developers of timber construction projects. The strategic focus is on green and smart building in metropolitan areas such as Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt or Prague. Platinum from EcoVadis and Prime Status from ISS ESG confirm the consequent focus on sustainability. With over 150 years of experience, UBM offers all development services from a single source, from planning to marketing. The shares are listed on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, the segment with the highest transparency requirements.
