VGP NV: Publication of First Corporate Responsibility Report
10 March 2020, Antwerp (Berchem),
Belgium: VGP NV (‘VGP’ or ‘the Group’), a leading European
provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate,
announces today the publication of its first Corporate
Responsibility Report.
Based on the ongoing dialogue with its
stakeholders and guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), VGP identified particularly relevant goals, where the
company can make the most significant contribution.
VGP’s first Corporate Responsibility Report
underscores the company’s progress and commitment to strengthening
sustainability efforts across its day to day business. It describes
how VGP addresses corporate sustainability, outlines the policies
and guidelines the company observes and highlights the enhanced
sustainability targets VGP has set itself for 2020. The Report has
been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards.
The company has already launched and implemented
numerous initiatives in 2019 such as the launch of VGP Renewable
Energy, a new separate business line 100% owned by VGP N.V., to
capitalize the available roof space on the VGP parks for
photovoltaic systems and most current energy technologies, the
clear intention to certify all new buildings from this year onwards
with BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental
Assessment Method) certifications and the launch of the VGP
Foundation.
Jan Van Geet, CEO of VGP, says: “This is our
first Corporate Responsibility Report, which should emphasize that
we want to do more than be successful in creating value for our
customers and shareholders; we also want to give something back to
society and the planet. But this is not separate from our everyday
business. Corporate Responsibility is not a “nice to have”; it is
integral to our strategy and driven by our company guiding
principle of Building Tomorrow Today. For 2020 we have set
ourselves enhanced sustainable development goals as we believe the
private sector plays an important role in creating solutions that
help grow the economy and addressing challenges such as climate
change.”
