Ambition

Strategy
Environmental certifications and labels
- Certify our buildings with the highest levels of certification and labeling;
- To have BNP Paribas Real Estate’s CSR performance recognized by recognized evaluators within 3 years.
Environmental Compliance
- Demonstrate compliance with national and international regulations and evaluate our sustainability performance against our peers
The standards and certifications now require energy-efficient buildings. This is the case, for example, with the Timber Pioneer office towers designed by UBM Development and the Paulus real estate group in Frankfurt. These towers are characterized above all by their hybrid construction with low CO2 emissions, combined with an automatic and intelligent management of services and equipment (German Sustainable Building Council certification: DGNB - Gold Pre-Certified)
Deployment
Environmental certifications and labels
Environmental certifications are a key way to demonstrate the quality of our products and services and strengthen value creation. These accreditations are used to validate the consideration of key environmental aspects in our projects, from design to development and their operational management.
Since 2011, 100% of our promotion operations in Immobilier d’Entreprise in France have one or more environmental certifications with high levels of performance and 100% of our housing promotion programs are also part of an environmental or quality certification process. This approach is illustrated in particular by the Metal 57 project, located in Boulogne-Billancourt in France, which is the headquarters of BNP Paribas Real Estate and a leader in energy-efficient construction.
BNP Paribas REPM invites its investors to study the possibilities of environmental certification of their real estate assets. It carries out a pre-certification audit and, depending on the results, it proposes the choice of the label, an action plan combining the management of the providers, the management of the change among the users and the work necessary for the asset to be certified. The Group has expertise on the following certification benchmarks: HQE Exploitation, BREEAM In-use, LEED-EB&OM and WELL Building Standard.
BNP Paribas REIM has set itself the following two objectives in the area of SRI labeling :
- By the end of 2022, 85% of the funds available for collection from all investors and 100% of the funds intended for private investors will be labeled as SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) and/or classified as “sustainable”, i.e. in compliance with Article 8 or Article 9 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
- By 2025, this will be the case for 90% of the funds managed by BNP Paribas REIM.
