Accolade Holding, a.s. provides first-class infrastructure for business in Europe. Our clients mostly include tenants representing global brands in the areas of e-commerce, manufacturing and logistics. In the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Slovakia, Spain, Croatia and the Netherlands. Accolade owns a network of 48 BREEAM-certified industrial parks that guarantee a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. In the ten years of its existence, the company has created a portfolio of commercial real estate with an area of 3 million sq m. The current value of the portfolio of completed industrial parks amounts to 2,6 billion EUR. It invests not only in the construction of new projects but also in the revitalization of neglected brownfields. The share of such projects in the company’s portfolio reached nearly 40%. The total area of the restored sites reaches more than 1,1 milion sq. m. In 2014, the group established the first-class industrial real estate fund, Accolade Fund Sicav, which allows qualified investors to invest and thus participate in the development of the modern industry. In 2017, the group bought the operator of the second busiest airport in the Czech Republic, Brno-Tuřany. Dynamic growth and sustainable development are Accolade's priorities. Thanks to this, in 2019 the Group became the fastest growing company in the Czech Republic according to the prestigious Financial Times ranking. As recognition for its investments in new environmental solutions in the field of industrial real estate, in 2020 the company was awarded the BREEAM sustainability certification at the "Outstanding" level. The building in the revitalized area of the machineworks in Cheb thus became the most environmentally-friendly industrial building in the world, achieving a record score. In the future, Accolade plans to build a polygon for the development and certification of autonomous vehicles, which will serve as a research and development centre, where the largest capacities in the field will operate. The Group has a long-standing history of supporting charitable projects and organizations. In addition to supporting the disabled, it invests in culture, sports, science and education. In the local communities where it operates, it cooperates with municipalities and supports civic amenities and local development. Accolade's goal is to be a responsible partner, a good neighbour and, overall, to make the regions where the Group operates a better place to live. Accolade also emphasizes the creation of suitable working conditions, the promotion of equal opportunities and motivates and supports employees in their personal development. More at www.accolade.eu.
