What is the measurable positive impact from implementing ESG?

The value of our technology is care for the environment, creation of comfort and microclimate, reduction of co2 emissions, formation of affordable housing systems, reduction of environmental impact by shortening the construction period, transfer of some stages to production processes with greater quality control and maximum optimization, reduction of waste at all stages of construction through prefabricated building elements technology, minimum use of heavy construction machinery, minimization of the use of heavy construction equipment.
Our company builds energy-effective houses which help to reduce these emissions by using less energy to power their lighting, heating, and cooling systems. This reduction in energy usage translates to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, which is crucial in combating the global climate crisis.
Moreover, our buildings also contribute to the overall sustainability of a community. Sustainable buildings use less water, produce less waste, and generally have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional buildings. This approach to building design has been shown to have a positive impact on the environment, local communities, and the economy.
Apart from their positive environmental impact, our company also offer significant financial benefits, energy-efficient buildings can save up to 30% on energy bills compared to traditional buildings. These savings can be reinvested into other areas of a business, providing a positive economic impact. Additionally, energy-efficient buildings can have higher property values and can attract more tenants due to their lower operating costs, but they also improve air quality and ventilation for building occupants. Improving air quality helps reduce the risk of airborne diseases and sick-building syndrome.

Daika has recently undertaken a full life-cycle assessment (LCA) for the Daika product. The analysis was conducted by Alfa Sustainable Projects using the OneClick LCA analysis software, which develops robust LCA and Environmental Product Declarations compliant with ISO14040, ISO14044, ISO 14067, EN 15804+A1+A2, ISO2193 and ISO14025 standards. The LCA covered modules A1-A3, C and D of the product life stage and provides results for various environmental impact categories, including global warming potential (GWP). The resulting report shows that for every 1 Kg of Daika, only ~0.2 CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, mainly due to the process (low) energy consumption. In the case (as should be in GIWM) – where photovoltaic cells will be used and we won't rely on the external electrical grid, for every 1 Kg of Daika, a NEGATIVE 0.6 CO2 is saved from the atmosphere.

Recently a board director at NFPA stated that InfraSensing is the biggest innovation in the fire industry. For the past 150 years the fire industry has been focused on 2 things only: fire detection & suppression. It's always been about detecting fires as early as possible and to put them out as quickly as possible. InfraSensing brings a new dimension with its technology: preventing fires.

InfraSensing's developments especially in the field of fire safety related to batteries are showing results as its innovative and unique approach to prevent (catastrophic) failures are finding its way into new NFPA standards being drafted like NFPA 855.

Following are 2 examples of the positive impact InfraSensing's technology has on ESG.

Li-ion Battery Storage:
Batteries pose a great risk to the environment and well-being of society. We need renewable energy for our planet. Unfortunately recent fires in Energy Storage Systems have resulted in local communities demanding the dismantling of battery parks - not in my backyard mentality which is perfectly understandable knowing how toxic fumes from a battery fire are.

Solar Panels (Roof-top):
Large companies such as Amazon have disconnected roof top solar panels on its buildings due to the fire hazard. FM Global in a recent update has recommended to property owners to equip solar panels with Linear Heat Detection like the ones from InfraSensing to prevent fires on roof top solar panels. We need those roof top solar panels to keep generating renewable energy.

InfraSensing's platform is currently being deployed by some of the world's leading fire safety companies such as Carrier, Kidde Fire Systems, Minimax-Viking.

Access4you® is an international certification mark that provides detailed and reliable information about the accessibility of the built environment to people living with mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive disabilities, as well as property owners, building operators and tenants. This information is available for free in the database of Access4you on its website and mobile application and helps people with disabilities and their family members mto plan in advance before entering an unfamiliar building. With the help of this data, the person can decide whether a particular location is accessible to them.
The certification mark not only helps people living with a disability but also benefits property owners and companies: in addition to achieving their business and ESG goals, they also get an idea of how barrier-free their locations are and how their accessibility can be improved for each stakeholder group.

We believe in the 5 WIN MODELL - aka is it really possible that every stakeholder wins?
-people with disabilities: detailed and reliable information about accessibility: digitally collected and produced data available on Access4you’s website and application.
-property owners:
detailed and standardised technical parameters and data
marketing and inclusive messages for branding purposes
data for their ESG report: certified third-party data, KPI, comparability, measurability
-partners: a product in their portfolio which produces profit and in the same time real social impact
-society: a more inclusive, human-centric and sustainable future
-Access4you: a mission fulfilled

It is in these 4 pillars that the measurable impact that we create is reflected.
These are:
-KPI B2C - we educate companies, partners and society - KPI: reach of our owned and earned appearances
-KPI B2B: number of assessed locations and developments
-KPI B2P: number of partners

Companies operating in the EU have to report on their practices for the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other marginalised groups, due to the new EU Directive on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSRD). The report should include among others the following: the percentage of employees with disabilities, an outline of the company’s specific policies aimed at advancing inclusion, positive impacts of actions for customers and end-users, such as product design that improves accessibility and examples of action for diversity.
As our founder, Balázs Berecz said: “I firmly believe that the first step in the (re)integration of people with disabilities is accessibility and reliable, detailed information about it. Without that, none of the further efforts to support inclusion can be realized.”

Hococo is committed to being an impact driven company. The goal of Hococo’s ESG work is to establish principles that guide the company through its growth journey in all key areas such as roadmap, product and services that we offer. Our core principles include:

Have positive impact at the core.
Besides building a healthy, profitable business, our core focus is on the positive impact that Hococo is producing through its actions.

Bridge ESG and product development.
We don't believe in clued sustainability projects. Hococo wants to have environmental and societal factors play a role when decisions are made.

Share ESG values across teams.
The value of ESG will be limited, if its just considered by top management. Key factor is building them as shared values across the whole company.

Where are we creating an impact today?

1. Fighting loneliness
Loneliness epidemic is growing and fighting it is critical. In Europe, 1 in 4 feel lonely
(European Commission, 2021) and in it has been shown that people suffering from
loneliness have 26% higher mortality rate (Brigham Young University, 2015). The cost of
this, both on personal as well as on societal level, is unbearable.

How is Hococo helping?
Property developers can build the most amazing buildings with dedicated space for the
residents to spend time together, this will though be wasted effort, if people don’t feel
invited to join in. Hococo offers property managers and landlords an inclusive way to invite their
tenants to join facilitated and safe communities.

2. Energy efficiency
Buildings generate almost 40% of annual global CO2 emissions (Global Status
report, 2018). Out of the buildings total energy consumption 80% happens during
its use – mostly in heating, cooling, lighting and appliances (Ellen Macarthur
Foundation, 2016). Action is needed to reduce energy consumption.

How is Hococo helping?
Our products are capable to provide transparency as well as data and
communication tools that can help our clients and their end-users. We want to
enable them to monitor the current usage as well as work together as partners in
finding the best ways to reduce their overall energy consumption. In an EU sponsored project we are working on anonymously benchmarking consumption habits and using our tool to nudge residents towards better more sustainable consumption.

3. Circular economy
Wasteful use of resources is a major issue in modern life. Currently 80% of
household items are used less than once a month (Ellen Macarthur Foundation,
2019). At the same time municipalities use 20% of the total budget in managing
waste (Ellen Macarthur Foundation, 2019). There must be a smarter way!

How is Hococo helping?
By making sharing, co-owning and recycling easy and convenient, we can help
limit the production of new items. Hococo’s digital solution has this in-built at its
core. We enable people to adopt practices of circular economy without it
having a negative impact in their everyday life both through our own community features, but also through facilitation and integration with partners make possibilities more accesable.

Born in Tunisia, Chayma has always been passionate about climate change. Now, addressing climate change is not just a personal commitment but a professional journey aimed at making a tangible difference in the world:

Chayma has been involved in environmental causes since she was little, having witnessed the dramatic repercussions caused by marine erosion on large parts of the coastline of her home country, Tunisia.
After an international academic and professional career, she joined Cushman & Wakefield in Paris where she has been the driving force behind the design and development of a leading climate risk valuation tool, allowing to assess both technical and financial impacts of climate change on real estate value. She has already conducted projects on multi billion euros portfolios on behalf of major investors, landlords and consulting firms.
She has also made a significant contribution to the development of the first independent ESG scorecard, the first independent tool in France for rating the overall ESG performance of buildings to help landlords, investors, occupiers and financial institutions better measure the quality of their assets (offices, retail, logistics, etc.) on all the main environmental, social and governance criteria.

Optiml's decarbonizes Real Estate, a sector responsible for more than 37% of global emissions (8.9 Gt in 2020). As existing buildings account for 60-80% of these emissions renovations are the key driver to make Net Zero in Real Estate work. Optiml provides an AI-powered, science-based SaaS solution that empowers the sector to optimize renovation strategies for portfolios and prepare detailed renovations plans. Traditional renovation approaches (spreadsheets, physical energy audits etc.) created the impression that renovations are unprofitable and, thus, have prevented an urgently required renovation wave so far (>35M buildings in Europe require renovation until 2030). The solution allows to adhere to ESG/sustainability goals (e.g., EU Taxonomy, GRESB, CREEM) and to reach profitability (optimize Capex, Opex, access subsidies, avoid stranded assets etc.).
Based on science-based targets (SBT), the solution provides real estate with insights into the trade-offs between cost and CO2e reduction for individual buildings and entire portfolios, thus facilitating informed decision-making that aligns with rigorous ESG frameworks like the EU taxonomy or certificates/standards like GRESB, CRREM or Article 9.
The impact of Optiml's work is quantifiable, with CO2e reductions ranging from 10-70% across Scope 1-3 emissions, depending on the building's characteristics and chosen strategies. This variance underscores the precision and customization inherent in Optiml's approach, which goes beyond blanket solutions to target the most effective levers for emission reductions—whether that means identifying "low-hanging fruit" or tackling buildings that are "hard to decarbonize." Overall, enabling the decarbonization of Real Estate from 8.9 Gt CO2e in 2020 to <0.1 Gt in 2050 as a transition to a Net Zero world.
