As property developers, we take the lead in developing cutting-edge real estate with a positive environmental impact. We do not just focus on the sustainable nature of the project but continuously work on an integrated sustainability policy with actions that impact the world inside and outside the Global Estate Group.
Future-proof
real estate
We aim to develop future-proof properties with maximum added value for the user and the environment and minimum ecological impact.
To evaluate our projects transparently and effectively, we are currently working on a tool to give each project a sustainability score in different domains. This will allow us to learn from the past and optimise projects with a view to the future.
Om de biodiversiteit te stimuleren kiezen we, waar mogelijk, voor een bloemenweide in plaats van een gewoon grasveld.

We kiezen voor duurzame en fossielvrije energiebronnen zoals zonnepanelen, riothermie, geothermie ...

Als de bestaande bebouwing in goede staat is, trachten we deze te behouden. Zoniet recupereren wezoveel mogelijk van de grondstoffen, bijvoorbeeld door het puin te vermalen en te gebruiken in de funderingen van nieuwe gebouwen of wegen.

We onderzoeken hoe we op onze sites duurzame mobiliteit kunnen stimuleren. We voorzien voldoende laadcapaciteit voor elektrische wagens, zorgen voor een goede infrastructuur voor fietsers en besteden de nodige aandacht aan zwakke weggebruikers.

INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY POLICY
We go beyond sustainable project development. Our integrated sustainability policy focuses on the world inside and outside the Global Estate Group. To achieve this, we signed the Voka Charter Sustainable Business and continuously take actions with a positive environmental impact.
This enables us to save as many natural resources as possible. We replace bottled water in the office with filtered tap water and encourage every employee to work paperless. Our office will also undergo a thorough energy scan in 2023 and we are exploring opportunities to boost biodiversity in the green surroundings of our office at Domein De Cellen.
“WITH AN INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY POLICY, WE FOCUS ON THE WORLD INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE GLOBAL ESTATE GROUP.”

AS ONE TEAM FOR A POSITIVE IMPACT
Our employees are crucial if we are to succeed in our sustainability goals. To establish long-term cooperation with each employee, we provide a healthy working environment with respect for each individual. We invest in ergonomic workstations, offer sports facilities and sporting events, motivate healthy eating habits with a fixed veggie day and local produce, etc.
As a socially committed company, we also want to make a positive impact on the people around us and regularly participate in solidarity campaigns.
