OUR DIVERSITY POLICY
OUR BOARD AND ITS
COMMITTEES
The diversity of our Board of Directors is
reflected both in the significant presence
of women and the presence of three
different nationalities. By this selection
the Board can increase its knowledge
about the different countries in which we
operate.
OUR MANAGEMENT
We are one of the few Belgian real estate
companies with such a high female
presence. For many years, the majority of
our employees are female. Many of them
have management positions in both
operational and support teams (Human
Resources, Accounting, Finance, Investor
Relations, Treasury, etc.).
All employees are offered flexibility in
their working life. Mainly young women
exploit this flexibility.
The potential career development and
growth within the company remains
unchanged for women returning from
maternity leave, as promotions are based
on talent and skill recognition, regardless
of their origin. Only these profiles will
be able to efficiently assume the role of
manager-coach.
OUR EMPLOYEES
Diversity management is an integral
part of Human Resources Management
(access to training, coaching and stress
management, knowledge transfer, etc.)
Equality, also demonstrated by the regular
renewal of our Investors in People label, is
present in every field and at all levels.
Our employees have a mixed cultural
background. This stimulates internal
creativity and improves team
performances. Generational diversity
gathers wisdom and innovation and
results in replicable solutions.
“THE MAIN GOAL OF GOVERNANCE IS
TO ACHIEVE QUALITY, DEVELOPMENT
AND SUSTAINABILITY. THE HIGHEST
DEGREE OF MANAGEMENT QUALITY
CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH
DIVERSITY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’
COMPOSITION MUST REFLECT THIS
DIVERSITY BY THE PRESENCE OF BOTH
WOMEN AND REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN
WHICH COFINIMMO OPERATES. THE
CHAIRMAN’S ROLE IS, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, TO ENSURE THE BOARD’S
COMPOSITION AND THAT DISCUSSIONS
WITHIN THE BOARD REFLECT
THIS DIVERSITY. EVERYONE HAS
SOMETHING TO SAY AND EXPERIENCE
TO OFFER.”
