2 questions to Catherine Papillon,
Global Head of Sustainable Development/CSR, BNP Paribas Real Estate

Why is your company committed to fighting climate change?

We, BNP Paribas Real Estate, consider it is our responsibility to bring to actors of the real estate sector our vision for the future sustainable city. That is the reason why we support Construction21 and the Green Solutions Awards for the third year in a row.

The building sector is responsible for 40% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.

For this reason, BNP Paribas Real Estate is committed to its stakeholders to integrate climate change issues into its own processes and activities. .

Our ambition is to contribute to the development of sustainable cities, by offering products and services that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and respectful of the health and well-being of its occupants.

What actions did you put in place regarding sustainable development/CSR?

We develop solutions in our different business areas to anticipate and face environmental challenges, but also to respond to the new demands and habits of our clients (whether they are investors, companies, individuals or local authorities). It allows us to play a key role in the urban transition.

As an example, the BNP Paribas Real Estate global business real estate production is environmentally certified. Beyond certifications, BNP Paribas Real Estate provides for the implementation, as part of the Call for innovative urban projects “Réinventons Paris”, with its winning project Ternes, of a connected energy system between offices and housings (smart grids), of a car sharing solution allowing electric vehicle pooling, and of urban garden terraces, among other solutions. The Arboretum programme was also unveiled: this new concept of ecological offices, located in Nanterre, will be the largest campus ever built in solid wood in the world.
