Covivio supports the Low Carbon Building Initiative (LCBI), consortium of major real estate European players aiming at reducing the carbon impact of buildings.

Launching the first pan-European methodology for whole life-cycle carbon measurement in buildings, with limit values, the Low Carbon Building Initiative (LCBI) is setting a new standard for low carbon performance.

The method is the basis of a low-carbon performance label, now available in 8 European countries – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, and the UK – and audited by Bureau Veritas.

For real estate players, this is a pivotal moment. The LCBI methodology offers a robust framework for designing low-carbon buildings and a reliable indicator for investors seeking sustainable ventures.
