The Executive Programme in Future-Proof Real Estate has had a significant impact on my professional life. This programme has enabled me to master the concepts of sustainable real estate, making me more confident in advising my clients and helping them build sustainable buildings.
As a business leader, my vision has evolved. I now have a better understanding of economic, environmental, and social issues, which allows me to better support property developers in their projects and effectively guide them in constructing sustainable and high-quality buildings.

"The training has been essential for our office to create a common understanding of sustainability and help us integrate sustainability into all our work. Even though I have a background in environmental science, this course was really enlightening. Not only did it refresh some of the basic principles behind climate change, biodiversity, etc., but it also provided very relevant perspectives on public and private ESG governance through specific sessions, case studies and guest speakers. Insightful!"

"Sustainability is on the agenda of all our clients today. To have meaningful and impactful discussions on the topic, many people lack the basic required knowledge though. The Sustainability 101 course does provide this basic knowledge and also offers a robust framework to think forward and act systemically on ESG issues. The course combines a solid academic background with action-oriented experience sharing. Also, it gives access to a rich set of data, literature and analysis on the topic. The course is a great minimum level setting for everybody who is concerned by the societal challenge of our world. And who would not be?"

Executive Programme in Future-Proof Real Estate
"The integrated project of the Executive Programme in Future-Proof Real Estate was an incredibly enriching experience. Not only did it allow me to put the theoretical courses into practice, but it also made me aware of the existing constraints for implementing new perspectives and approaches in the field. The constant dialogue with different stakeholders, each bringing their own expertise, has been a real source of inspiration and learning.
Thanks to the evolution of our integrated project, I had the opportunity to explore and understand different aspects of real estate development throughout the year. This immersion allowed me to develop essential skills, both professionally and personally."

Concretely, this allowed me to personally study several real estate development projects and to initiate different approaches to acquire land suitable for the development of mixed and innovative projects.
This training is essential for any real estate professional wishing to contribute to the current transformation of the sector. It offers both access to an unrivaled professional network and the opportunity to meet very high quality speakers.”
