BNP Paribas Real Estate's global capabilities span Europe, America and Asia.

As a subsidiary of BNP Paribas Real Estate - a division of the leading French financial services group BNP Paribas - BNP Paribas Real Estate combines its expertise with the group's other real estate and financial services to create an unparalleled mix covering the entire life cycle of any real estate project.

We firmly believe that as a provider of integrated real estate services we have a responsibility to act in a sustainable manner, balancing economic, environmental and social objectives at all levels in the context of land, property and the built environment.

We will make a decisive move toward Sustainable development as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility programme based on the following principles:

• living within environmental limits
• ensuring a strong, healthy and just society
• achieving a sustainable economy
• using sound science responsibly
• promoting good governance

We will seek to develop our business in a sustainable way and look to work with clients, partners and suppliers who can make a positive contribution to our pursuit of Sustainable development.

We recognise that there are physical limits to the Earth's resources and that any business activity that exceeds such limits is by definition unsustainable.

Furthermore, there are ethical and social components to Sustainable development for which our business should be accountable. These extend far beyond legislative compliance and are part of our objective to responsibly develop a sustainable and profitable business.

This Glossary of Terms is designed to provide you with an understanding of sustainability issues in the real estate sector.
