Our ESG Strategy

ESG Criteria Inform Every Investment

BNP Paribas REIM’s ESG strategy is supported by three pillars:

  • Offer sustainable real estate solutions: innovate to offer 100% of funds (1) open to investors and new funds as responsible investments by 2025
  • Strengthen climate change mitigation efforts: implement energy efficiency and carbon (2) reduction plans across our range of responsible investment funds open to investors to align this scope with a 1.5° pathway by 2035
  • Anticipate climate change by adapting our most vulnerable assets to physical risks (3) resulting from climate change by 2035

The strategy is implemented through our asset business plans, which incorporate measures such as optimising energy consumption and providing sustainable mobility options.

Our 3 Key ESG Objectives

  • Environnement - BNPP REIM

    Environment: improve the environmental performance of our assets

  • ESG - BNPP REIM

    Social: manage assets by integrating the comfort of tenants and all other stakeholders into the strategy

  • ESG - BNPP REIM

    Governance: raise awareness among our stakeholders about environmental and social initiatives conducted with property managers and tenants

BNP Paribas REIM focuses on responsible investments. To understand our assets’ ESG performance, we use advanced and in-depth data collection. We propose energy saving plans based on calculations of investment costs and ROI from energy use reductions.

We work towards improving the ESG quality of our buildings and for the well-being of their occupants.

• By collecting data on the performance of our assets

• By systematically assessing the exposure of assets to increasing physical risks

• By developing tailored climate adaptation plans for the most vulnerable assets

• By improving the energy efficiency of our buildings

• By offering sustainable mobility solutions to tenants (bicycle parking spaces, electric vehicles, public transport, etc.)

• By ensuring access for people with reduced mobility

• By providing spaces for waste sorting

We are dedicated to meeting investors’ high expectations for asset and fund performance and ESG improvements. We also listen to occupiers and engage with them to encourage them to take an active part in improving our buildings’ environmental performance. This includes setting up dialogues with occupiers on ESG subjects, meeting their expectations regarding issues such as on-site services and building adaptability, and signing green leases where possible.
