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.

To the shareholder and supervisory board of Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors B.V.

The Supervisory Board met five times in 2018. The subjects the members of the Supervisory Board discussed included the changes in the Dutch and global real estate market.

Bouwinvest Real Estate Investment Management B.V. (‘Bouwinvest’) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stichting Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds voor de Bouwnijverheid (bpfBOUW), the Dutch pension fund for the construction industry.

Bouwinvest is well aware that it invests retirement assets. The organisation is compact and client centric. We add value on the basis of a sound vision of the developments in real estate markets.
