In 2015, Cofinimmo’s overall office assets
were evaluated with regard to accessibility
by public transport. This method facilitates
the evaluation if accessibility of any new
acquisition project.
Cofinimmo makes its head office parking
spaces available to local residents outside
office hours through a prior enrollment. This
principle of shared parking, in partnership
with BePark, was put in place in 2012 and
extended in 2015 to the Cockx 8-10 building
(Omega Court). The number of shared parking
spaces increased from 60 to 122.
The installation of electrical vehicle recharg-
ing stations was under consideration in 2014.
In 2015, three stations were installed. Two are
intended for the occupants of the buildings,
and the third is added to the network acces-
sible to the public at large. In 2016, additional
charging stations will be gradually installed in
16 more properties.
Cofinimmo has also taken measures relating
to its vehicle fleet. Travel accounts for 50%
of the company’s carbon footprint. For this
reason, Cofinimmo remains very attentive
to reducing its vehicle fleet’s average CO
2
emissions. It raises awareness among its
employees by publishing fuel consumptions
and emphasising travel alternatives, such
as carpooling, the use of a shared vehicle
and public transport. In 2016, Cofinimmo’s
company vehicle policy will evolve towards
a policy of mobility, giving its employees the
possibility of making the choice of combined
mobility: car-bike or car-public transport.
The promotion of carpooling is already done
through a dedicated site specific to the
company.
Beyond the objectives for 2016, included in
the 2015 Sustainability Report, Cofinimmo
remains attentive to any new mobility solu-
tion. It maintains regular contacts with major
players in the mobility sector, such as ZenCar
1
and the company for Brussels intercommunal
transport STIB.
Mobility
Mobility has a direct impact on accessibility
and therefore buildings’ appeal. The location
of Cofinimmo’s buildings, the number of
parking spaces available, and the proximity
to public transport are often determining
factors for tenant-clients.
