Mission
Our mission is to help address the housing shortage in the Netherlands and contribute to the further sustainability of the rental housing market. We strive to make comfortable living accessible so that people can be happy and build their future. But we don’t stop there.

Sustainable Development Goals
On the basis of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, we investigated how Build can contribute to a sustainable society, by preventing negative consequences for the environment and society. Build has incorporated the following SDGs into its vision of sustainability and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance)

Build sustainability pillars
Our vision on sustainability and our objectives and measures are laid down in our ESG and sustainability policy. Our policy is built on our Buildeniability pillars, which together cover almost all subjects that we find important for sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship.
As a Build, with our product and our services, we want to make a positive contribution to people, the environment and society. We make a distinction between:
a social contribution:
contributing to broad prosperity
contributions to resolving the housing shortage
A sustainability contribution:
contributing to the sustainability of existing real estate
contributions to responsible new construction
by providing financing at an attractive interest, we make affordable living possible for more people. We also offer the possibility to take out financing for (sustainable) renovation and transformation.
Build wants to motivate real estate entrepreneurs and help to make existing construction more sustainable, based on a sustainability scan.
Thorough management and a solid internal organization are also part of sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship: transparency, responsibility and justice are the starting points.
We strive for a diverse and balanced workforce. Offering a safe working environment, in which people enjoy working is an important spearhead. The involvement and knowledge of all Build employees are also of great importance. Build invests in creating a common (sustainability) objective, where it is clear to every employee how he or she can contribute. ESG and sustainability must be worn throughout the organization. We ensure, for example through periodic research and sustainability sessions, that all noses are in the same direction.
In addition, involvement and communication towards cooperation partners outside the organization is also important. We regularly report to our shareholders, but we also discuss internally how we are doing with Build. We strive to standardize reports as much as possible and also investigate the possibilities to join certifications or benchmarks from the market.
