SUSTAINABILITY

The goal

The topic of sustainability is currently of growing importance both from the perspective of institutions and society. Among the reference documents at an international level is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action program signed by the UN member countries.


The goal of our strategy is to delve into the main variables on which it is possible to act during the design of intelligent buildings, in order to improve the sustainability of each individual system. Our efforts are reflected in the improvement of the energy performance of buildings, in the search for more sustainable alternative materials, in a better quality of working conditions for operators and their employees, in the enhancement of green spaces and in the use of renewable energy.


To this end, we help our customers obtain international certifications, which demonstrate the concrete commitment to excellence and social responsibility.

BUILDINGS

Environmental footprint

One of the directions to work towards for companies looking to render their business more sustainable is to reduce consumption and favour increased energy efficiency in processes, without neglecting social issues, by also acting on the assets implemented.


In the logistics sector, this takes the form of a range of “leverage points” that include increased attention to real estate and the criteria employed in its planning, construction and management.

BUILDING CERTIFICATION

International Standards

A number of protocols have been implemented on an international scale aimed at assessing the energy efficiency and the environmental footprint of buildings, including the LEED (US) and BREEAM (UK) standards, which are also used for logistics buildings, with a focus on the entire planning and construction process.

With regards to application in the field of logistics, the certification process has an impact on various figures, including owners, tenants, planners, investors, institutions and businesses, and facilitates the classification of buildings in relation to their environmental impact; raises awareness among owners, occupants, planners and operators in terms of the benefits of buildings with reduced environmental impact; allows organisations to demonstrate their progress towards company environmental goals; provides market-based recognition of buildings with low environmental impact; stimulates the market to provide innovative solutions aimed at reducing the environmental impact of buildings; and drives demand for sustainable buildings. For investors, certification serves as an important driver in evaluating and choosing a building.
