« Running the operations for our investors only makes sense if this success is correlated to the well-being of the tenants, and the energy and environmental performance of the housing in which they live»

<h2>Background & Objectives 🔍</h2><p id="">Masteos is a dematerialized rental investment company that supports individuals wishing to invest in old buildings while renovating the French housing stock.&nbsp;</p><p id="">How? 🤔</p><p id="">Masteos offers its investors a turnkey service thanks to specialized sales advisors, along with teams deployed throughout France. The entire investment process happens on the Masteos application, including access to the property catalog, virtual visits, purchase offers and electronic signatures of documents.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Masteos takes care of the whole operation, from the acquisition of the property to the rental process, while providing its tenants with high standards of comfort and energy efficiency.</p><p id="">We are convinced that the financial gain of our clients only makes sense if its societal and environmental impact is positive, if it promotes the well-being of the tenants and reduces the carbon footprint of the housing.</p><p>‍</p><div class="container_img"><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6232f79b68d15d3d9b69c096/62d198341bdde33666dae1d8_62b5d2d065fa1d68da99b052_62a0d07fddff2a34423c632f_image-p-500.jpeg" loading="lazy" /></div><h2>Why carry out a GHG report? 🤔</h2><p id="">At Masteos, we have the particularity of being a Tech company that operates in both real estate and construction. Although renovating buildings to current standards is intrinsically less polluting than constructing new buildings, we must nevertheless pay particular attention to our GHG emissions. This care must be applied as much during the renovation of a dwelling as it is in the years following its rental.</p><p id="">In order to reduce our GHG emissions, it is essential to be able to measure them beforehand. This is why we wanted to calculate our carbon footprint with Greenly. This allowed us to better structure our environmental policy and to draw our action plan to reduce our emissions in the long term.&nbsp;</p><p>‍</p><h2>Why Greenly? 🌱</h2><p>We compared several offers and it was obvious that Greenly best met our expectations and needs. We wanted to get a quick and accurate calculation to understand our GHG impact, and Greenly had the ideal tool to give us a clear view of our various carbon emission items. Furthermore, the ADEME certification of the calculation method certified the legitimacy of the result.</p><h2>‍<strong id="">Update on Masteos' carbon footprint 📊</strong></h2><p id="">Masteos' carbon footprint not only takes into account direct and energy-related emissions (Scope 1 &amp; 2), but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3). Adding up all emissions, Masteos had a footprint of 633 t CO2e in 2020.</p><p>‍</p><div class="container_img"><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6232f79b68d15d3d9b69c096/62b9c78925b81cc3520e6f32_62504aa7c38b8d2f03b0ff46_62448ac91038bce00903e780_pexels-felix-mittermeier-957024%20(2)%20(1)-p-500.jpeg" loading="lazy" /></div><h2>How does Masteos reduce its emissions? 📉</h2><p id="">The carbon assessment delivered by Greenly has allowed us to have an overview of our GHG emissions and to draw up actions and effective levers to reduce them.</p><p id="">Reducing the carbon footprint of all the players in the economy is now a legal obligation, but above all, an ethical one, if we want to reach "net zero" by 2050.</p><p id="">We have put in place a first series of concrete actions to contribute to this ambition.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id=""><strong id="">Employee side&nbsp;</strong></h2><ol id=""><li>100% reimbursement of public transport passes</li></ol><p id="">This policy is valid for all our employees in Europe, even when they are telecommuting full time.</p><ol start="2" id=""><li>Telephone and laptop <em id="">leased</em> for our employees</li></ol><p id="">We choose refurbished electronic devices for all our employees to reduce our digital pollution and promote the circular economy.</p><ol start="3" id=""><li>Employee training on environmental issues</li></ol><p id="">All of our employees are trained and encouraged to consider the environmental impact of the projects they undertake for our investors.</p><ol start="4" id=""><li>Zero airplane policy for our employees</li></ol><p id="">Our employees who live less than 2 hours from their destination by plane must take the train for their travels</p><ol start="5" id=""><li>Transition to green energy suppliers for our premises and warehouses</li></ol><p id="">All of the buildings occupied by Masteos are in the process of being connected to renewable energy electricity networks.</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id=""><strong id="">Operations side&nbsp;</strong></h2><ol id=""><li>Get a growing number of homes out of the "thermal sieve" status of the French housing stock</li></ol><p id="">There are nearly 5 million thermal sieves in France.

Therefore, this reforestation process will restore their ecological potential by encouraging the appearance of a vegetation cover on the area.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p id="">Trees of various species are therefore introduced to the plot.
