Catherine Papillon

Director of Sustainable Development and CSR

Biodiversity makes buildings more sustainable by creating economic, environmental and social value. So it's not a fad. This topic, at BNP Paribas Real Estate, has been driving us for many years, whether in our different lines of business or in the buildings we design, manage or occupy. Since 2016, we have made it an important part of our CSR policy, along with reducing carbon emissions or saving energy.

Preservation of nature and biodiversity

As we approach COP15 Biodiversity in China in 2021, BNP Paribas Real Estate is structuring its biodiversity strategy with a dedicated charter and operational roadmap to rethink nature in cities. The Biodiversity Charter of Commitments summarizes our commitments to biodiversity.

BNP Paribas Real Estate has developed a range of tools to integrate biodiversity into its operations. Solution catalogs and analysis grids are used to assess the ecological potential of an existing site or building, in order to establish an action plan to be followed. Performance indicators and goals have been designed and validated with our business teams to drive and measure our progress over time.

Re-use Booster
For the past three years, the teams have been committed to reducing the carbon impact of the building sector by 20 to 30%, through a platform for the reuse of materials.
