CEO BNP Paribas Real Estate

Our ways of living and working are changing. The urban environment must adapt to these changes by involving all of its participants, whether this is in designing offices and housing, participating in the economic and social life of the regions in which we operate, developing our employees’ skills, or sup-porting disability and encouraging diversity.

As such, CSR is a factor of innovation and economic performance for our customers and for our-selves.

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global call to commit to a fairer future for humanity and the planet. To define its actual and potential contribution to this challenge, BNP Paribas Real Estate has analysed the link between the SDGs and its own CSR commitments defined in its CSR policy, “Inspire Real Estate 2020”. We also used a real estate benchmark and the recommendations of the World Green Building Council relating to the contribution of green buildings to the SDGs.
