Cofinimmo intends to fully carry out its social and environmental responsibilities by considering factors such as soil pollution, the presence of asbestos, the location, and the risk of flooding when acquiring assets and the company implements a long-term strategy, taking into account the energy performance and the life cycle of its assets, and conducts a risk analysis for each acquisition.
When managing (re)development projects in healthcare real estate, Cofinimmo favours the use of modern techniques and sustainable materials to reduce the carbon footprint of the buildings constructed and improve the comfort of the occupants. BREEAM certifications ensure a very high level of sustainability. The aim is to achieve BREEAM New Construction 'Excellent' certification for new constructions and BREEAM In-Use ‘Very Good' certification for standing assets.
In projects developed by operators, Cofinimmo acts as an adviser in the area of sustainable construction and includes the data relating to energy and water consumption in the environmental accounting system.
Although most of the healthcare real estate assets are managed almost independently by the operators, medical office buildings are under Cofinimmo’s operational control, enabling more in-depth consumption analysis and monitoring.
