Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do
Sustainability is an integral part of NSI’s long term value creation strategy. Our business model is geared towards decarbonising our portfolio by reducing energy usage, owning and developing flexible and adaptive buildings, and creating inspiring, flexible working environments articulated around the health and well-being of our occupants.
Our Ambition
In line with our strategy, we have shaped our sustainability ambition around three pillars: ‘Future-proof buildings’, ‘Energy and carbon’ and ‘Social engagement’. More concretely, we have articulated our commitments.
