Together, We Build a Sustainable Future

SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES

GLOBAL WARMING

With current trends, we can expect an increase of 3.5 to 4.5°C by 2100 which is far from the 1.5°C target set in Paris.*
An increase above 2°C means 2 to 3 times worse impact (floods, fire, storms, drought,...) than 1.5°C.

PLASTIC WASTE

By 2050, oceans will contain more plastic than fish.*
More than 8 million tons of plastic are end up in the ocean every year.
83% of tested tap water contain microplastic.**

POVERTY HOUSING

Harmful exposure to chemicals causes at least 4.9 million deaths per year.*
Globally, 1.6 billion people have no access to adequate shelter.**
By 2030, the UN estimates that 40% of the world's population will lack adequate housing.**

BUILDING INDUSTRY

The key to a sustainable future

Every day, buildings are being built and our cities grow larger. The building stock is set to double by 2050.
Globally, the built environment accounts for almost 40% of total CO2 emissions.*
Buildings will play a key role in fighting climate change.
