Wearing masks every day, the widespread use of hand sanitiser and the imposition of social distancing are just some examples. Some of these new practices will remain, others will disappear. Adaptation could therefore cede to change. And there is one area in which we are the first to witness a revolution that is set to last: work. Or, more specifically, the workspace.

In the 2020 edition of its ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) report, BNP Paribas REIM has unveiled its new approach to sustainable investment.

With 13,800 m² spread over 9 floors, the NØR building is designed to be flexible and multifunctional. It can accommodate small organisations (from 800 m²) as well as larger tenants. It has a BREEAM Outstanding rating and has, among other things, breathtaking views of Brussels and a feng shui garden in the courtyard.
