OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY
The key challenges linked to the Group’s businesses are climate and biodiversity, particularly in real estate development. Nexity is responding concurrently to these two closely related issues, entailing large‑scale changes in how the Group designs its real estate projects and transparency regarding its targets.
ACTION ON CLIMATE
A key priority within Nexity’s environmental strategy, climate action calls for far-reaching changes in our business and operations: in particular, we need to change the materials we use and our choice of energy solutions, focus more on refurbishment and renovation, reduce the proportion of new construction and develop new low-carbon products and services. Nexity has set itself the goal of becoming the top performer on decarbonisation in the real estate sector.
After SBTi certified its Scopes 1, 2 and 3 carbon trajectory as being “well below 2 °C” in March 2021, Nexity is now setting its sights even higher, aiming for a trajectory certified as being aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.
Our 4 low-carbon commitments 
ACTION ON CLIMATE

ACTION ON BIODIVERSITY
Nexity’s ambition is to be among those companies most committed to having a positive impact on biodiversity. Limiting urban sprawl and the associated loss of biodiversity means shifting our projects towards greater density, a greater focus on refurbishment and renovation, and more construction on previously developed sites. Fostering biodiversity also means allowing nature to play a more prominent role in our projects. This transformation is underpinned by employee upskilling and, more generally, initiatives to raise awareness among the Group’s clients and stakeholders.
