Creating safe building sites
The Dutch Considerate Construction code of conduct for building sites offers concrete guidelines for working in a conscientious manner with an eye for the local area, the environment, safety and reduced nuisance. The objective is that 75% of the construction sites Bouwinvest invests in (both new-build and redevelopment projects) should be registered as Considerate Building Sites each year. Bouwinvest actively encourages its partners to apply this code of conduct. In 2023, 82% of Bouwinvest’s construction projects were registered under the scheme (2022: 87%).
Internationally, Bouwinvest strives for an above average GRESB score for ‘stakeholder engagement’, based on working conditions, construction site safety and impact on the surroundings. Bouwinvest works with different international partners to accomplish this.
