Policy

It is important that we take responsibility today if we want to create value for tomorrow. Real estate has a life span of several decades, so the decisions about real estate taken by Wereldhave Belgium today, may affect society for decades to come. Taking sustainable decisions now automatically means taking account of the future. After all, sustainability means taking decisions that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The importance of sustainability is finding its way into Western society. Governments keep tightening sustainability requirements, whilst manufacturers and contractors keep expanding their range of sustainable products and services. An increasing number of tenants attach great value to sustainable buildings and research has shown a link between a building’s sustainability and its (lack of) occupancy. In other words, the desire for sustainability should not be ignored lightly. Which is why Wereldhave Belgium has defined four specific points of interest: the own organisation, new investments, construction and real estate development, and real estate management.
