SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT /
Nine priority issues
Diversity (cultural, generational, linguistic, gender, etc.) and equal opportunities are deep-rooted in Cofinimmo’s
corporate culture. Diversity widens perspectives, improves the richness of exchanges between people and so leads to
the discovery of innovative solutions in the various business lines.
Respect for differences and
cultural diversity
Responses / actions
Cofinimmo initially obtained the “Diversity Label” in 2010 and now
works to maintain its commitment in this area, which is reflected at
a number of different levels:
•
recruitment, by strengthening interaction with young people in
particular;
•
human resources management, by offering coaching (both
individual and team coaching) and training sessions
•
external positioning of the company, by continuing actions on
networking and testimonies on the issue of diversity within
companies.
Cofinimmo is planning to renew its “Diversity Label” in the coming
years.
Furthermore, Cofinimmo encourages the evolution towards gender
equality in every echelon of the company.
It supports, among others, the association Women on Board which
promotes the presence of women in Boards of Directors.

Our comfort lies within our similarities. Our strength lies within our
differences. We love cultural diversity which allows us to reinforce
our creativity.
In 2014, seven people were hired to replace five workforces and
to fill two new positions.
