⚡ How pulse by cfe helps Ethias taking ESG from strategy to action 🎬 At Ethias, the ambition is clear 🚀: transform their diverse real estate portfolio to exceed ESG standards. But how do you prioritize investments? How do you balance sustainability goals with financial returns? And how do you ensure that renovations truly make a difference for both asset value and tenant satisfaction? ⚡ That’s where pulse by cfe comes in! For their 17-year-old office building Westia, situated near the city of Namur (BE), Ethias entrusted us with a Pulse Consulting mission to evaluate how to improve its energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. 💬 Isabelle Vanderkelen, responsible for the real estate portfolio at Ethias, was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the work done: ✅ “The recommendations in the Pulse Consulting report were clear, concise, and precise.” ✅ “The 3D model – created by your team – allowed us to instantly visualize the impact of every renovation scenario.” ✅ “The report will definitely help us to make objective decisions based on concrete data: investment cost, tenant benefits, and ESG impact.” 🙌 Ethias was so delighted about the results that they’ve already entrusted Pulse with a new Consulting project: the ‘Goed Arthur’ nursing home in Antwerp. By leveraging the combined strength of CFE Group to revalorise buildings, Pulse delivers tangible, future-proof solutions to clients that not only optimize energy performance but also enhance asset value and occupants’ experience. This unique multidisciplinary approach ensures that every project is backed by data-driven insights and hands-on execution capabilities.

🌿 DRIVING THE GREEN TRANSITION IN REAL ESTATE & CONSTRUCTION 🌿 We are proud to share that Isabelle De Bruyne, Chief Sustainability Officer at CFE Group, has been appointed as the first chairwoman of the Belgian Green Building Council (BGBC)—a brand-new platform uniting key players in real estate and construction to accelerate the transition towards sustainable building and renovation. With Isabelle and vice chairs Emilie Delacroix(Helexia Belgium), Wim Heylen (Heylen Warehouses), and Rikkert Leeman (Alides) on board, the BGBC can rely on strong leaders within the sector. The Belgian Green Building Council brings together over 30 major industry players, including Heylen Warehouses, Alides, BPI Real Estate, Bopro, CBRE Belgium, Atenor, Cordeel Group, AG REAL ESTATE, Immobel, BESIX and Montea, along with Febelfin, UPSI-BVS, Embuild - The Belgian Construction Association, and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). This coalition aims to define common sustainability standards, reduce administrative burdens, and drive real impact across the industry. Isabelle is eager to start in her new role: "The construction and real estate sectors are made up of many different players. Bringing them together and aligning them is already a challenge in itself. Our first priority is to clearly define what we mean by sustainable building. Today, too much time and budget are spent on permits and reports, while these resources should be directed toward sustainable solutions. The collaboration with the financial sector is also crucial—sustainability is about more than ideology; it’s also about financial viability, both for us as an industry and for all building users." CFE, together with its real estate business unit BPI Real Estate in Belgium, is honoured to be at the forefront of this initiative, reinforcing our #ChangingforGood commitment. We look forward to supporting Isabelle and the BGBC in shaping a greener, more sustainable future for our sector in Belgium. #Sustainability #SustainableBuilding #BelgianGreenBuildingCouncil #BGBC #ChangingForGood #RealEstate #Construction #Renovation #SustainableFuture
