Governance
Cofinimmo’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach is
supervised by the Sustainability Committee, whose role is to con-
stantly identify and assess all factors contributing to sustainable
development. The Committee has ten members representing, on the
one hand, the departments directly involved in property manage-
ment for the Group’s portfolio, all business lines combined (Property
Management, Project Management, Quality Management) and, on
the other hand, the legal, communications and human resources
departments. The committee is chaired by the Head of Property
Services & CSR who reports directly to the Executive Committee.
The Sustainability Committee is particularly responsible for:
•
proposing specific, economically reasonable measures to
improve the company’s environmental performances, its
portfolio and, by extension, the spaces occupied by its tenants;
•
developing initiatives to better incorporate sustainable
development into the Group’s strategy;
•
ensuring that the Group complies with legal, national and
international environmental requirements;
•
communicating the Group’s accomplishments to all
stakeholders.
Each member of the Sustainability Committee acts as an ambas-
sador for Cofinimmo’s sustainable development work. Working with
Management, it helps drive the change in the corporate culture
towards a more sustainable approach to its activities.
Cofinimmo also employs a full-time Environmental Manager. This
manager, who is a member of the Sustainability Committee, is
responsible for working on the ground in collaboration with opera-
tional teams to implement the Group’s environmental strategy in all
business lines.
Strategic sustainable development proposals are validated or
amended by the Executive Committee which in turn has them
validated by the Board of Directors as part of the annual review of
the company’s overall strategy.
