We have a global approach to environmental
issues. We act on traditional requirements like
insulation and energy consumption, of course,
but we also explore soft mobility, the life
cycle of buildings and the reuse of materials
and furniture from our buildings. We want to
both anticipate the future standards that will
be applied to our business and to innovate
in our everyday activities. We think about
the future of our buildings over the very
long-term. As a real estate company, we have
a social role to play. Our decisions impact
the development of cities.

Belliard 40 office building -
Brussels Leopold district (BE)
The building on Rue
Belliardstraat was torn down
and rebuilt, illustrating the 'life
cycle' approach adopted by
Cofinimmo. The new building
is passive from an energy
consumption perspective. This
architecturally daring project
opened up Rue Belliardstraat
with a green and open space
in front of the building and
a transparent atriumwith
a view on the interior garden.
