About us

Our
purpose

Be the leading reference in the transition, offering clarity & guidance in order to move forward together towards a more sustainable future.

30-40% of the GHG emissions are generated by the built environment. We are all aware that the climate is changing, and we need to take immediate action to mitigate its impacts and adapt to it.

The goals for 2050 is set: all new and existing building projects should be GHG neutral. But how to get there?

The BGBC aims to steer this Belgian transition towards climate-neutral buildings by creating the reference platform to engage all real estate sector leaders to translate the climate goals into pragmatic, workable and economically feasible standards.

Our mission

“Accelerate the transition towards a resilient and future-proof Belgian real estate sector,

while positioning Belgium at the heart of international knowledge exchange and cooperation.”

We are aiming for

Long-term viability of the Belgian building sector
A robust and decarbonized Belgian real estate portfolio.
A recognition of Belgium as a European leader in sustainable real estate.
