Regulations for the Real Estate Sector
The real estate industry is increasingly regulated through data protection and sustainability requirements. Tenant data processing and ESG reporting are key focus areas.
Why Is Real Estate Especially Affected?
- Data protection: Tenant data, credit checks, and smart building systems require comprehensive GDPR compliance
- Sustainability: Large real estate companies must report on energy consumption and carbon footprint under the CSRD
- Whistleblowing: The HinSchG requires internal reporting channels from 50 employees
- ESG requirements: Investors and regulators increasingly demand transparency on sustainability criteria
