Sustainability

Designer Outlet Soltau was built in 2012 in compliance with BREEAM standards for sustainable building management and was one of the first outlet centers to be certified with a "good" rating.

What is BREEAM?
The British BREEAM certificate is a benchmark for assessing the environmental impact of a property in terms of: Building materials, solar energy, waste management, rainwater utilization, sustainable management, site accessibility, bike lanes, electric vehicle charging stations.

In 2021, we also introduced a flexible open door policy to encourage employees to actively control temperatures in their stores. The use of heating/cooling systems should thus be minimized.

In 2022, together with TESLA, we opened a charging station with 20 TESLA Superchargers, open to all car brands. In this way, we encourage our customers to use climate-friendly vehicles. An e-charging station from the Soltau municipal utility company is also available.

All lighting in the center is equipped with insect-friendly bulbs. We also ensure that seasonal decorations are planted in a bee-friendly manner.

Through sponsorship, we support local sports clubs or events, helping to ensure and develop local activities. 

As part of events, we regularly cooperate with social institutions that support children, hospices, medical care as well as people in need. Our goal is to provide optimal support and regular donations to the relevant organizations.
