In the Business Plan 2018-2020 'Sustainable Growth', Bouwinvest set itself a number of goals. An average long-term return of 5% to 7% per year, excluding current exchange result. An annual transaction volume of € 800 million.

Bouwinvest’s goal is to realise a solid return on sustainable real estate investments for institutional investors and their participants. Because we invest for the long term, we do this in a responsible manner.

The European portfolio recorded a return of 4.7% in 2018 (2017: 10.9%). At year-end 2018, the European portfolio was valued at € 1.1 billion. We made € 100 million in investments in 2018, in homes, offices, shops and logistics centres.

We see corporate social responsibility as much more than simply complying with minimum laws and regulations. CSR plays a role in every decision we take and choice we make.

As a long-term investor, we are committed to a process of continuous improvement to realise attractive buildings in vibrant towns and cities and to make our assets and portfolios future proof.
