BNP Paribas Real Estate updates its CSR strategy
By creating regular opportunities to exchange with our various stakeholders and meeting their expectations, BNP Paribas Real Estate has been able to begin revising its CSR strategy for the next four years (2021-2024). In 2016, a major pan-European survey of 6,600 stakeholders (customers, employees, business partners, suppliers, etc.) helped define BNP Paribas Real Estate’s CSR strategy, Inspire Real Estate, along with key performance targets set out until the end of 2020.
Made up of 12 commitments categorised into four main areas – economic, environmental, social and civic – the CSR policy shows that sustainable development issues are taken into account in the supply of products and services and in the functioning of BNP Paribas Real Estate. This means reinforcing the consultation process in 14 European countries: France, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic and Romania.
The company identified 22 economic, environmental, social and civic issues that impact the real estate sector and as such, our business and operations. Each of these issues are submitted to our stakeholders in order for them to prioritise each one.
The results will make it possible to create a scoring grid to better analyse these issues and to revise our commitments and performance indicators in order to define our future action plans.
In the interests of transparency, BNP Paribas Real Estate regularly publishes, through its CSR reporting platform, the status of various actions, which have been taken throughout the year, and the progress made on each one. Along with this, road maps, commitment charts and performance indicators are also included. Through these consultation and monitoring actions, BNP Paribas Real Estate is able to demonstrate its commitment to respond as effectively as possible to developments in the real estate sector and the expectations of its stakeholders through sustainable and innovative offers.
