because there's a better way
Challenges motivate us to do our work even better. We roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Modern living can be affordable. We question existing concepts and find solutions.
We have already proven in the past that we can rethink housing, reinterpret it, and develop and implement modern living concepts. The events of recent years—the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, inflation, and the energy crisis—have forced us to re-examine our idea of modern living. What will modern living look like in the future?
Two aspects will play a central role: Housing must be climate-neutral and affordable. We are currently at a crucial juncture. Technologies already exist that allow us to manage buildings in a CO₂-neutral way. The problem here is the resulting costs, which drive up rents. We need to find new solutions. This is only possible if we break out of old patterns and are open to new ideas.
most important are
us the people in
Villingen-Schwenningen.
Our task has always been ours.
The wbg was founded in 1927, between the two world wars. We are experienced in dealing with crises and have always fulfilled our mission despite all adversity. We will continue to create housing for broad segments of the population in Villingen-Schwenningen.
Housing is a basic human need.
We firmly believe that everyone has the right to quality and affordable housing. Housing is a basic human need, and we contribute to ensuring that this need can be met.
Contribution to social peace.
The importance of affordable housing is not only a basic human need but also has societal relevance. Adequate housing provision is a key prerequisite for social peace.
More than just four walls.
An apartment is more than just four walls. It's a home for people and families. It's where children grow up, where laughter is shared, celebrations take place, and life is lived. A home provides security and a sense of belonging. We settle for nothing less. Living with wbg means having a safe home.
The basis for a good life.
Different life plans and situations require different living arrangements. Whether you're embarking on a new chapter, starting a family, or undergoing a personal change, the right home is one of the most important building blocks for a happy and fulfilling life. And everyone has a right to it.
Together we will build
the home for the
future.
The biggest challenge.
We are currently facing the greatest challenge of our time due to climate change. Only if we, as a society, pull together and tackle this challenge with solidarity can we succeed.
What we can do about it.
We all need to critically examine our lifestyles. As wbg, we are looking for practical solutions to transform our properties and apartments into climate-neutral ones. We are resolutely doing our part.
Why we need to be successful.
The livelihoods of future generations depend on our actions. It is our responsibility to leave behind an intact world for generations to come, a world where everyone can find a safe home.
A new era for us all.
To continue fulfilling our mission in the future, we must question existing knowledge and structures. The status quo is no longer sufficient; we must do things differently. We must do them better. Even if much may remain uncertain in the future, your home with wbg will remain secure.
Climate neutral by 2045.
An important step has been taken. We have developed a comprehensive climate change strategy that will guide us towards climate neutrality by 2045. To achieve this, we will implement extensive modernization measures that will prepare our properties and your home for the future.
In concrete terms, an overview
Here we have summarized the key aspects of our mission and vision for you.
Contributions to climate neutrality
We are all called upon to do our part towards climate neutrality. As a housing company, we are researching ways to make housing sustainable and affordable in the future.
Renovation of existing buildings
Providing new housing is one thing, ensuring the climate neutrality of our existing buildings is another. We can only achieve this goal with a solid plan and the right measures.
Climate change strategy for the benefit of citizens VS
To ensure we can continue to offer our tenants a safe home in the future, we have developed a comprehensive climate change strategy that will guide us towards climate neutrality by 2045. Building on this, we can implement the necessary modernization measures in our properties in a controlled and considered manner.
Explore new paths and give space to innovation!
We need to question ourselves and the way we've done things so far. We need to make room for new ideas and find new, better solutions to problems and better answers to old questions.
