Approach & Technical Foundation

Reporting as a System

UBM Development is a strong example of how a modern, system-supported reporting structure can be implemented. The company’s reporting is built on the unique foundations of sustainability and connectivity — expressed in its equity story as "green. smart. and more." — and follows a philosophy of collaborative working. At the core of the reporting process is the software platform ns.publish, which includes modules specialized for both financial and non-financial reporting.

ESG Reporting System-Based and Connected

UBM, an innovative developer in timber construction, reinforces its commitment to “green” not only by giving equal importance to its ESG and business reports, but also by prominently featuring ESG in the main navigation of its corporate website. ESG data is collected using the dedicated ESG Cockpit system, which supports group-wide data structuring. Through a direct interface, ESG data is seamlessly integrated and prepared for output via ns.publish — in any desired format, including machine-readable XBRL, in the same structured way as financial data. Always secure and fully traceable.

We’ve been using the ns.publish platform for several years now, and it has helped us streamline and secure our workflows and processes. The time we save goes into developing content and advancing our reporting system, especially around ESG topics. This solution also helps us meet regulatory requirements and stay compliant. We benefit from the same platform advantages in financial reporting. We’re well-positioned for the future and flexible. Christoph Rainer, Head of Investor Relations & ESG

Collaborative Output Formats: PDF, XBRL

UBM’s reporting process is designed for collaboration. Using ns.publish and ESG Cockpit, all involved parties work together autonomously and simultaneously. Local certified mms partner Mensalia supports users of ns.publish and also serves as the integration partner for ESG Cockpit. Experts from mms also provide guidance on ensuring machine readability. The results include a high-quality report in both German and English, available as a PDF, landing page, and XBRL report.
