Bopro, Sustainable real estate services and developments
Today, we build the places where future generations will live, work and play.
So, it’s vital to generate positive impact on the environment, society and economy.
Our sustainable holistic project approach provides an answer to the many challenges and evolutions in the real estate sector as well as the ‘real estate product’ itself. We resolutely opt for a Forward Thinking Project Management approach, the high added value approach that maximises the economic, environmental and social performance of your project.
You want EU/ESG-proof real estate? Rely on the knowledge and expertise of our (experienced) Forward Thinking project managers.
With a view on the CO2-neutral horizon of 2050, we ensure that your real estate project(s) will immediately create value and contribute to a positive impact on people and society and therefore comply with the Paris Climate Agreement Objectives, the EU Taxonomy and the national, regional and local climate plans.
Forward Thinking Project Management starts at the beginning, with the definition of the requirements programme. This way, we immediately have a clear picture of the risks and opportunities of your project. With this thoughtful approach, we find the best solutions to optimise the resilience of your real estate project throughout its life cycle.
In concrete terms, this means that we support you in preparing yourselves for future ESG regulations: the EU Taxonomy, the proposal for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the proposal for the Sustainable Corporate Governance Directive (SCGD), the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the proposal for a European Green Bond Standard (EUGBS), the EU Renovation Wave, the fit for 55 package and the New European Bauhaus Initiative.
Bopro, Forward thinking to secure the future.
