Kauricab: Achieved 80% CapEx savings through ESG analysis and simulation!

At the Berlin-based real estate company KAURI CAB, the integration of ESG and CapEx management using Alasco has led to significant efficiency gains and cost savings.

Precise ESG reporting, the collection of relevant financial and sustainability data, and detailed portfolio analysis are critical competitive factors for real estate companies. Beyond regulatory compliance, sustainability is increasingly shaping financial management and CapEx decisions.

Recent industry data confirms this shift: a JLL study reveals that environmentally sustainable buildings command a capital value premium of 20%. This underscores the growing financial importance of ESG integration.

At KAURI CAB, a Berlin-based real estate company, leveraging Alasco to integrate ESG and CapEx management has driven significant efficiency gains and cost savings.

The Challenge: Balancing Efficiency, Sustainability and Proftiability

Managing an extensive portfolio while complying with ESG regulations and maintaining transparent investor communication posed a challenge for KAURI CAB. The company oversees 500,000 square metres of gross floor area with an investment volume of €1.5 billion. Securing long-term asset value in line with net-zero targets by 2050, while managing capital-intensive projects like tenant fit-outs, required a more streamlined and data-driven approach.

KAURI CAB has long relied on Alasco for digital financial controlling in real estate development. This collaboration uncovered additional optimisation potential. Alasco goes beyond financial management—it integrates ESG and CapEx management into a single, holistic solution, enhancing asset management efficiency and driving cost savings.

With Alasco, KAURI CAB centralises asset data, automates workflows, and enables strategic decision-making based on real-time financial and ESG data. As Maria Haufe-Marosky, Head of Asset Management at KAURI CAB, puts it:

The all-in-one solution from Alasco allows KAURI CAB not only to manage investments and sustainability measures, but also to align them strategically. This results in reduced devaluation risks, optimised asset performance, long-term portfolio value protection and increased assets under management (AUM).

Alasco has become a key enabler for KAURI CAB, allowing them to scale ESG management effectively while ensuring the profitability of investment decisions.
