Our experts - the guarantors of our success

In all the divisions, be it Human Resources, Data Services, Legal Affairs or PR & Internal Communications, our experts establish the parameters for achieving our corporate goals.

Accounting

Hundreds of thousands of incoming and outgoing invoices and other accounting processes are handled at METRO PROPERTIES every year. In the area of Accounting, a team of experts at the Saarbrücken site sees to it that all business transactions are accounted for correctly. The national and international legal requirements (HGB and IFRS respectively) provide the framework for this. The aim is to provide the decision-makers with reliable figures in good time.

Information Technology & Organisation

Our employees are responsible for all matters relating to a modern company IT and communications infrastructure - from assisting the individual departments with assessing which tools and applications they need to implementing and providing support for technical solutions. In close consultation with METRO’s IT, we provide the operating and administrative units with a wide array of real estate-specific software solutions.

As an internal service provider to METRO PROPERTIES and MEC, we ensure smooth work processes and occupational health and safety at the Saarbrücken site. This includes building services and building management, postal services, reception, the telephone switchboard, the archives, procurement and the canteen.

Serving as an intermediary for the METRO PROPERTIES departments, the tenants and our service providers, we see to it that the properties are managed efficiently and that there is transparency regarding the lease agreements.

The business partners who work within CAMPUS HR Operations assist the managers with all HR- and organisation-related aspects of strategy implementation and day-to-day business operations.

This is where the legal foundations are laid, first and foremost for all the topics relevant to the METRO PROPERTIES real estate portfolio. The expertise at the sites in Düsseldorf and Saarbrücken covers everything from company, real estate and building law to tenancy law and environmental law. All transactions with a legal aspect are reviewed regarding their economic and operational efficiency here, taking into account METRO’s standards, METRO corporate governance and compliance principles.

External and internal communications: a good public image is just as important to METRO PROPERTIES as providing all of its employees with comprehensive and up-to-date information. The responsibilities here include PR activities and marketing, maintenance of the internal social network and the corporate website, and corporate design.

We also organise our presence at national and international events; we have significant responsibility for the hosting of the 2 biggest real estate fairs, EXPO REAL in Munich and MIPIM in Cannes.
