The VanWonen sustainability manifesto:
Sustainable business: ESG Well-being of people and the planet
ESG is one of the important VanWonen building blocks on the way to the healthiest generations. ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance, also referred to as Environment, Society and Good Corporate Governance.
In 2023, VanWonen will be the first area developer in the Netherlands to receive an ESG Score. Based on this score, it is clear to what extent VanWonen expressly takes into account the consequences of its business operations on the environment, people and society, in addition to the financial return and risk.
We have defined how we do this in the following six dimensions:
People's well-being:
Creating a home for our customers
Stimulating vital life
Develop inclusive neighbourhoods
Well-being of the Earth:
Nature-positive building
Building energy-neutral
Working with sustainable materials
We build CO2-neutral homes with as many circular and biobased materials as possible. For living environments, we focus on biodiversity, nature conservation and climate adaptation. Vital living environments because they stimulate healthy behavior and help to make healthy choices. Which are inclusive, because everyone - regardless of age, disability, social class or country of origin - can enjoy living there and living together. Where everyone feels at home, is involved in the development from the start and remains so afterwards. Where everyone helps each other to become and remain the healthiest generation.
