Instone Group wins Best Managed Company Award for the second time

Award honours excellence in corporate management and steering capability. Recognition across strategy, productivity, innovation, culture and governance. Award presented by Deloitte, UBS, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Federation of German Industries on 21 May in Frankfurt.

Instone Real Estate Group SE (“Instone Group”), a residential developer operating nationwide in Germany, has once again been honoured with the Best Managed Companies Award. The award recognises companies that stand out for a clear strategic direction, effective management structures, responsible leadership and robust governance. For the second year in a row, Instone Group impressed the jury across the programme’s four core dimensions: strategy, productivity and innovation, culture and commitment, as well as governance and financial management.

“Rarely has excellent corporate leadership been as important as it is in today’s volatile environment. Best Managed Companies such as Instone Group set benchmarks for agility and resilience: they respond swiftly to the multiple changes shaping the market, and consistently view transformation as an opportunity to actively shape the future,” said Dr Christine Wolter, Partner at Deloitte and Lead Deloitte Private. “At a time when established certainties are increasingly being called into question, these qualities deserve particular recognition. With the Best Managed Companies Award, we honour businesses that lead from the front, act with courage and serve as outstanding role models for Germany’s mid-sized corporate sector. Instone Group operates with a confidence that provides orientation – now more than ever.”

David Dreyfus, CFO of Instone Real Estate Group SE, commented: “Being recognised for the second consecutive year confirms that our leadership approach and the disciplined execution of our strategy are delivering results. Residential development in metropolitan regions is hands-on work on real projects, at real construction sites, with the people who bring them to life every day. Sustainable progress is achieved where businesses, municipalities and partners work together in a spirit of trust.”

With this award, the jury particularly acknowledges Instone Group’s ability to translate strategic principles into operational execution while assuming responsibility across the entire value chain. The renewed recognition underlines the continuity and robustness of Instone Group’s management quality, irrespective of short-term market fluctuations.
The Best Managed Companies Award was established by Deloitte in Canada in the 1990s and is now presented in more than 45 countries worldwide. In Germany, the award is conferred through a multi-stage assessment process conducted jointly by Deloitte, UBS, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Federation of German Industries (BDI).
