Driving the Future of Sustainable Buildings and Finance
We are thrilled to announce that CERTIVEA and Climate Bonds will partner to advance sustainable finance and green building certification in Europe.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in sustainable finance and green building certification, aligning our efforts to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, resilient, and equitable built environment.
Why This Partnership Matters
As global challenges like climate urgency, energy crises, and the rising importance of ESG reporting shape the future of infrastructure and real estate, there is a growing need for credible, science-based sustainability standards.
- CERTIVEA, a leading certification body in Europe, specialises in labelling and certifying non-residential buildings, infrastructures, and neighborhoods through internationally recognised standards like Haute Qualité Environnementale (HQE).
- Climate Bonds Initiative is a globally renowned organisation mobilising capital for climate action, ensuring investments are aligned with the Paris Agreement and net-zero pathways.
What We Aim to Achieve
By combining our expertise in sustainable certification and finance, we are committed to:
✅ Promoting decarbonised, circular, healthy, and just buildings and infrastructure.
✅ Strengthening green finance mechanisms that support the development of sustainable projects.
✅ Tackling greenwashing by ensuring clear, verifiable sustainability standards.
✅ Supporting the integration of ESG strategies and EU Taxonomy alignment in the real estate sector.
✅ Sharing knowledge and insights to drive best practices in both green building and sustainable finance.
Looking Ahead
This Memorandum of Understanding formalises our commitment to joint research, industry engagement, and policy support, ensuring that sustainable development in the built environment is finance-backed, credible, and impactful.
We look forward to collaborating with industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to make green finance and sustainable buildings the new norm. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming initiatives!
