THE GREENMAN GROUP
With eleven closely aligned businesses located across six nations, the Greenman Group is rooted in the grocery real estate sector with the Group’s funds owning grocery real estate worth c. €1.35 billion across France, Germany, and Poland. Over the last years the strategic focus has shifted towards sustainable practices and innovation.
In response to evolving retail systems and environmental concerns, the Group has committed to meet Paris-aligned net-zero targets and its flagship fund Greenman OPEN is the largest Art. 9 real estate fund on the market. Embracing a proactive approach, the Group diversified into tech-enabled ventures, including a large-scale vertical farm, a renewable energy utility, and pilot projects in carbon capture and augmented reality.
Through such investments and initiatives like Growing Further, the Greenman Group aims to encourage the development of businesses that are seeking new and exciting ways of doing business in the broader grocery retail supply chain.
