Promoting equal opportunity
Since 2015, Covivio has been committed to the Article 1 Association in skills development and financial sponsorship initiatives, focusing on solidarity and equal opportunity for young students from low-income backgrounds.

Covivio also signed the Soft Skills Manifesto June 2020.
Encouraging biodiversity
Biodiversity is a major issue for the entire real estate chain and the construction industry. It is a strong marker of the group’s CSR policy. Covivio is therefore striving to make each of its sites a driver for protecting biodiversity. Covivio has also defined European biodiversity guidelines for its various portfolios to better integrate its sites into their environment. See more.
