Environment Policies

Initial property inventories

Before acquiring any property, we carefully examine properties to assess any non-confirming aspects or detect potential environmental risk. We also conduct a survey to ascertain the quality of the soil, subsoil and groundwater for any properties in which potential environmental risks may play a role (fuel oil tanks, electric generators, transformers, ...). We then work to minimise the risks and to actively remove any pollution that may already have taken place.

Environmental & urban permits

We secure environmental permits, issued by the regional authorities, which ensure that Cofinimmo can operate registered installations for all our buildings. These are systematically updated in the event of changes in the law or in the technical installations. On top of that, each building in our portfolio carries urban permits that certify that any construction or renovation works conform with legal requirements.

Waste management & cleaning

Cofinimmo tenants are encouraged to sort their waste. We provide separate containers and offer appropriate waste collection solutions. As of 2009, the buildings under Cofinimmo management are cleaned using mainly biodegradable, environmentally friendly products. For all building maintenance operations, we ensure that our subcontractors use products with a minimum environmental impact.
