1)

All legal actions relate to the issue of VESG’s energy supply contracts with our tenants. The matter in dispute related to whether so-called “opt-out clauses” (tenants have to actively delete the passage on energy supply) are legally permissible. Vonovia stopped using these clauses in February 2019.

2)

No data has been collected for the Austria and Sweden regions for the 2019 fiscal year.

Safety Inspections (Vonovia Germany)

Inspection schedule

Total inspection list

Target inspections 20191)

Inspections carried out by Dec. 31, 20192)

During the reporting period, the inspections did not reveal any violations of regulations and/or voluntary codes concerning health and safety aspects that were not immediately remedied. Vonovia has established standard processes for handling defects discovered as a result of inspections, which provide for prompt handling. These processes continued to function perfectly during the reporting period.

1)

The checks are conducted every two years from the date of the first inspection; the annual certificates are therefore not distributed exactly equally (50%–50%).

2)

The fact that the forecast scope of the inspections was exceeded is due to purchases made during the year (in particular, BUWOG).

3)

Inspections carried over from 2018: 13%
