Nhood unveils long-term ESG strategy to lead global urban regeneration by 2030

Nhood has announced the adoption of a new ESG strategy, aiming to become a global leader in urban regeneration by 2030. The initiative, titled Nhooders Impact Generation, outlines a detailed roadmap that integrates environmental, social, and governance goals across the company’s operations.

According to CEO Antoine Grolin, the strategy places a strong emphasis on employees—referred to internally as “Nhooders”—and reflects the company’s broader ambition to turn real estate into more sustainable and inclusive spaces. Grolin highlights that this approach is designed to benefit not only the company and its clients but also the wider environment and society.

The plan includes a structured framework to assess the impact of Nhood’s activities in four areas: people, planet, profit, and governance. The roadmap is aligned with the Business Climate Convention standards and is intended to promote long-term sustainability by renewing environmental resources while addressing social needs.

Among the key actions outlined is the establishment of the Nhooders Academy, a training platform to enhance ESG-related skills across the company. This initiative is expected to be available to all stakeholders by 2030. Additionally, Nhood is introducing a low-carbon mobility policy with the goal of reducing CO2e emissions from business travel by 40% by the end of the decade. The plan includes transitioning to sustainable air travel and setting emission limits per team.

Nhood also plans to launch a new ESG business line by 2030 to support its clients in their own sustainability efforts. It intends to promote innovation through a dedicated unit that will develop solutions, publish research, and propose industry-wide changes. A biodiversity initiative is also in place, aiming to plant 100,000 trees within Nhood’s projects by 2030.

The company will work with suppliers to incorporate ESG clauses into contracts, with a goal of achieving full Ecovadis certification across all agreements by 2026.

Christian Lema, Global Head of ESG at Nhood, emphasised that the strategy seeks to balance the needs of local communities with sustainable development. “We want to position Nhood as a responsible global leader in property management. To do so, we must lead by example and encourage broader industry engagement,” he said.
