Romania Towards a sustainable future

Green projects
Globalworth received 47 various ESG related certifications for its Romanian portfolio in 2022, among them LEED, BREEM, WELL Health & Safety and Access4you accreditations.

One of the highlights in terms of sustainability was the scoring achieved at Globalworth Square, the most technologically advanced office building in the company’s portfolio. The facility received BREEAM Outstanding accreditation, with 99 pct scoring, placing the building on the 3rd place worldwide at the time of its certification.

At Globalworth, our vision is to build a greener and more environmentally friendly portfolio, as we feel this is the best way to support local communities, our investors, our tenants, our partners and our staff who work in or live nearby our buildings. Achieving these certifications was a very rigorous process, and our success shows that we are truly dedicated to best practices, high quality, and continuous improvement. In the future, we will all have to rethink the way we build cities to enable greener and smarter living for all, better spaces that provide peace of mind. We are happy to bring the future closer.
