By embedding environmental respect into everything we do, we encounter the fact that global overuse of natural resources and that climate crisis requires adjustment. Resource-efficient residential development in line with international climate goals is becoming increasingly important to both consumers and investors, as it is for being granted permits to develop land use for residential purposes.
Sustainable use of land
Bonava remediates land to make it suitable for housing units and plans for the protection of biological diversity and other ecological values when previously undeveloped land is claimed. Both as an adaptation to climate change and to counteract this, it is crucial that Bonava creates residential districts with large amounts of green spaces, which have a buffer effect on the climate.
Circular production model with sound, sustainable materials
The continual endeavour for increased resource efficiency and material selection that facilitates future recycling and ensures healthy indoor environments also reduces emissions of greenhouse gases from production and the transportation of construction materials.
Efficient buildings
By using a life cycle perspective when considering emissions in both production and the operational phase, we reduce the greenhouse gas emissions throughout the buildings’ life cycle.
Through sustainability and ecolabelling of its housing units, Bonava safeguards the precautionary principle and promotes an increase in the Group’s assets that are available for green financing.
Combat climate change
Overall research shows that global warming as a result of human activity constitutes a serious threat to the ecosystems that ensure the conditions for life on our planet. The effects have become increasingly tangible in the business world as well. By also taking responsibility for our direct and indirect impact, Bonava becomes a real part of the solution for keeping global warming within the Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C.
