Across all our sectors and professions, BNP Paribas Real Estate plays a key role in urban transformation, developing solutions to anticipate, face new economic, social and environmental challenges, and respond to the new uses of our clients (whether they are investors, businesses, individuals or communities). Its ambition is to propel the transformation towards sustainable real estate: low-carbon, resilient, inclusive and well-being.
Performance, accountability, ethics and transparency, the CSR policy of BNP Paribas Real Estate is translated into facts and everyone is committed to give life to this strategic issue every day: to ensure the positive impact of BNP Paribas Real Estate on society and the environment.
Supporting dynamic real estate
To respond to new uses, changing work patterns and new expectations, BNP Paribas Real Estate is more than ever responsible, agile and resilient. The development of sustainable, modular and connected buildings, mixed-use neighborhoods that encourage openness, the search for virtuous consumption that favors short circuits and the reduction of the carbon footprint are all challenges that we must take up in order to reinvent the city of tomorrow.
Our lifestyles and ways of working are changing. The city needs to adapt to these changes by involving all its stakeholders, whether designing offices and housing, participating in the economic and social life of the regions where we operate, developing the skills of our employees or supporting those with a disability and encouraging diversity.
In this regard, CSR is a driver of innovation and economic performance for our customers and ourselves.
This civic vision, combined with the creation of lasting added value, built with our customers, partners and all our stakeholders, helps to maintain our position as a major player in real estate in Europe.
Driven by a culture of responsibility and integrity based on best practices, BNP Paribas Real Estate aims to ensure the long-term development of the company while ensuring it has a positive impact on society. Our CSR policy is a strategic issue designed to create long-term shared value with our customers, partners and all stakeholders. It is expressed by a commitment at the highest level of our governance to combine performance, responsibility, ethics and transparency.
A CSR policy based on 12 strong commitments
In practical terms, BNP Paribas Real Estate’s CSR policy is based on four major objectives, accompanied by 12 commitments:
Our contribution to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global call to action for a fairer future for humanity and the planet. To define its actual or potential contribution to this challenge, BNP Paribas Real Estate analysed the link between the SDGs and its CSR commitments set out in its ‘Inspire Real Estate 2025’ CSR policy. The company also based its policy on a real estate benchmark and recommendations from the World Green Building Council regarding the contribution of green buildings to the SDGs.
