On Wednesday morning, area developer VanWonen signed a partnership agreement with NL Greenlabel at the Provada real estate fair. By becoming part of NL Greenlabel’s partner network, VanWonen is underscoring its commitment to its ESG ambitions. These ambitions will become measurable and results-oriented by utilizing the NL Area Label methodology.
With this partnership, VanWonen aims to accelerate its progress toward measurably sustainable, nature-inclusive, and liveable areas. The signing took place in the presence of Lodewijk Hoekstra, co-founder of NL Greenlabel.
“Yet another prominent housing developer is joining NL Greenlabel,” stated Hoekstra. “VanWonen is deeply committed to sustainability and to developing living environments for future generations. We are pleased to be able to support them in this with our partner network and our methodology to make ambitions measurable and concrete.”
Measurable green growth
The partnership is a significant step towards a future in which nature-inclusive development is standard practice. In this future, residential areas will not only help address the housing shortage but also bolster the natural environment, enhance climate adaptation, and improve the well-being of residents.
Alfred Bolks, CEO of VanWonen: “Our partnership with NL Greenlabel began recently, and we have already seen our first VanWonen project receive an NL Area Label. It’s wonderful to make our partnership official today. As a partner of NL Greenlabel, we are even better equipped to achieve our mission: creating homes and living environments for the healthiest generations.”
Marcel de Ruiter, ESG Manager at VanWonen, adds: “Green spaces contribute to enhanced biodiversity, CO2 absorption and climate adaptation. Together with NL Greenlabel, we can measurably develop our areas to be climate-resilient and green.”
