ESG stands for Environment, Social, and Governance, and provides a structured framework for working with environmental, social, and corporate governance issues. In our Energy & Environment department, we advise on areas such as energy optimisation, carbon accounting, certifications, and ESG strategy.
ESG is an integrated part of our way of working and stems from the responsibility we already take in the operation of properties and towards residents.
Emil
ESG Manager, CEJ
We closely monitor both market developments and regulatory changes. Drawing on practical experience with both Danish and international investors and associations, we work to translate new requirements and trends into concrete actions.
We support the creation of a solid foundation that enables you to work strategically towards your own ESG objectives and responsible property management.
Our services are wide-ranging and cover the full spectrum — as outlined in the following key focus areas.
ESG goals define what you aim to achieve within the area of ESG.
This area is not solely about legislation – it also encompasses the broader ambitions and aspirations that guide your work.
Over the years, we have helped both Danish and international clients develop ESG strategies and targets – always tailored to their specific position and level of ambition.

Good planning saves money in the long run, which is why it is crucial to carry out all the necessary and precise calculations to provide a solid foundation for decision-making. Especially when it comes to installations like solar panels, EV chargers, and lighting.
Services offered:
Certifications open the door to development and dialogue. They provide a comprehensive overview of your property and clarify a roadmap for future improvements. In this way, certifications serve as both a reflection of your current status and a statement of where you want to go.
Services offered:
Legal requirements on one hand, and the desire to document results on the other, create a need for objective climate reporting.
These reports can also serve as valuable guidance and decision-making tools.
Services offered:
When legal requirements meet the desire to document results, the need for objective reporting emerges. At CEJ, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve and have developed a wide range of reports within the fields of climate, energy, and the environment – including climate reports, CREEM/CAR analyses, and ROSI reports.
At CEJ, we take responsibility towards our clients, employees, suppliers, and the wider community.
Our approach, focus areas, and results are outlined in our Responsibility Report, which also provides an overview of the specific initiatives taken throughout the year across the E, S, and G area.
Solar panels are a major topic we are frequently asked about. At CEJ, we are passionate about solutions where responsibility, sound economics, and aesthetics go hand in hand. That’s why we also work with the latest innovative technologies – such as roof tiles with integrated solar panels.
