At Immobel, we are committed to shaping a more sustainable future for the real estate sector. That is why we are proud to be a core founding partner of the Belgian Green Building Council (BGBC), a groundbreaking initiative bringing together over 30 visionary organizations to drive sustainability in the built environment.
A shared vision for a sustainable future
The BGBC was established with a clear mission: to act as the reference platform for sustainable real estate in Belgium. The council bridges the gap between industry experts, real estate professionals, academic institutions, financial stakeholders, and policymakers, ensuring clarity and guidance in the sector’s transition to sustainability. The BGBC is designed to:
- Create knowledge and share best practices to drive sustainable innovations and monitor progress towards climate goals.
- Unite industry players across Belgium’s three regions and various real estate sectors to harmonize sustainability practices.
- Advocate for a greener built environment, acting as a trusted partner for members, public authorities, and international sustainability networks.
Immobel’s involvement in the BGBC aligns with our broader commitment to reducing environmental impact, integrating circular economy principles, and fostering responsible urban development.
Leading by example
As a core founder, we are actively contributing to the council’s first key initiatives, including:
- Developing common sustainability standards and metrics to ensure transparency and consistency across the sector.
- Strengthening ESG engagement by encouraging the adoption of sustainable construction and renovation practices.
- Building a collaborative network where businesses, policymakers, and experts can exchange knowledge and accelerate the transition to a net-zero built environment.
A milestone for the Belgian real estate ecosystem
The launch of the BGBC marks a pivotal moment for the real estate industry in Belgium. By fostering collaboration and advocating for sustainable building practices, the council is set to become the central point of reference for companies and institutions looking to make a lasting impact on the environment.
At Immobel, we believe that sustainability is a collective effort. We are proud to stand alongside other industry leaders to drive meaningful change as we shape the cities of tomorrow—for people, for the planet, and for future generations.
