Let's hear
from our members
Let’s hear from our members - stakeholders across the entire Real Estate value chain - why the Belgian Green Building Council initiative is essential for them.
"Sustainability is more than a certification - it’s the vision that guides our portfolio, our investments, and our projects in the long term."
Judith Verhoeven
Head of ESG I Immobel Group
"A shared framework is important for us as property developers to build sustainably, both today and in the long term."
Dirk Van Buggenhout
Chief Sustainability Officer I Montea
"A project like BGBC makes it possible to align visions and ambitions in terms of regulation."
Antoine Grahay
Managing Partner I City Tools
"Sustainability doesn’t stop at the delivery of a project. We also need clear guidance and rules when it comes to the maintenance and operation of buildings."
Valérie Vermandel
Chief Development Officer I Whitewood
"The BGBC initiative is of great importance to us, as the support of all stakeholders - including the banking sector - is essential for positioning our real estate industry on the European stage and in ensuring we speak with one common language."
Sandra Gottcheiner
President of the ESG Taxonomy Commision I UPSI-BVS
"Working with a more sustainable world in mind is not always straightforward, given the subjective standards and certificates we are confronted with. With BGBC, we can strive for greater consistency."
Patrick van onderbergen
Teamleader Specification BE I SIGMA-PPG
"Today, there is so much data, so many standards, and such varied legislation that we are convinced that bringing it all into a common language will simplify matters and perhaps enable us to innovate together."
Noémie de Crombrugghe
ESG Strategy – SuReal
"Every day we are building the buildings of the future, but we need a clear vision or framework, to make the right decisions."

"Sustainability requires a comprehensive approach across our entire portfolio. Clear guidelines are therefore essential to advance our sustainability journey."
Nathan Rousseaux

"It is essential that all stakeholders in the construction sector keep the same challenges and rules in mind. Every project is an opportunity to reassess our practices, push the boundaries of what is possible, and minimize environmental impact."
Aline Branders
Architect Partner I A2M
"We often run up against different regulations and rigid structures when trying to put sustainability into practice in a real, hands-on way. This initiative is very important to us in pursuing our shared interests."
Stijn Braet

Rikkert Leeman

Former Chief Executive Officer I Alides REIM
"As a financial institution, we want to support businesses in their sustainable transition. It is therefore crucial that we speak the same language."
Lesley Grégoire

"BGBC acts as a bridge between its various members and stakeholders, enabling them to learn from each other, inspire one another, and, through additional harmonisation and standardisation, serve as a lever for the market and facilitate the simplification of various processes."
