Bouwinvest reports environmental data of those assets where management control is possible (operational control approach). Data is provided for those assets where we have the power to introduce and implement operating policies and where we are responsible for purchasing energy and water and the handling of waste. Our management control differs greatly by asset type (e.g. residential and office); these differences affect the level of influence we have over the (measurable) sustainability performance of our assets.
Absolute consumption is the total consumption of the real estate assets in our funds during the period under review and provides insight into the overall environmental impact.
Like-for-like data and any changes pertain to real estate assets in our portfolio that were fully owned by Bouwinvest and operational for the full 24-month period. We have excluded assets that were acquired, sold or underwent large-scale renovations in this period. The information therefore provides insight in the movement of an indicator over time at a constant portfolio scope. Total net CO2 emissions, after compensation, represent the total CO2 emissions after reduction and compensation of carbon emissions via Guarantees of Origin (GOs). This is in line with Bouwinvest’s commitment to reduce the impact its operations have on climate change and to encourage renewable energy generation.
Energy, emissions and water consumption are reported on the basis of like-for-like consumption data and lettable floor area (LFA). This pertains to landlord obtained components and usage for common parts, as well as consumption data for tenant areas that are not individually metered.
