Sustainability
Focus on CO₂ reduction and circularity
...already all set for the future.
Rotterdam Logistics Park is sustainable and future-proof
The European Union is rapidly implementing rules relating to sustainability and energy efficiency. Rules that, on top of that, are increasingly being tightened. From the very first design of RLP, future regulations have therefore even been taken into account. In terms of CO₂ and energy consumption, RLP is consequently already ready for the future.
When completed, the park is expected to feed as much as 40 per cent of its own generated electrical energy back to the grid, even during peak loads. The vegetation contributes to enhancing biodiversity and provides noise reduction and wind protection.
Cradle to cradle
Application of Cradle to Cradle optimized circular design leads to more conscious use of materials and raw materials. They are "designed-for-Disassembly", whereby maximum reuse possibilities of materials are taken into account in the design phase. This has a positive effect on cost savings and minimises the ecological burden on our planet.
CO₂-positive
RLP is Whole Life Carbon positive because, calculated over it’s entire life cycle, the buildings save more CO₂ than they consume. This is because the warehouses are equipped with solar panels. This makes them energy positive when calculated over the life cycle of the buildings.

ABC SQUARE AT SCHIPHOL TRADE PARK
One of our most recently completed projects contains 37,000 m² of high-quality commercial space, offices and multifunctional spaces. The design has received the very first VBI Greenscore Certificate in Netherlands and has been awarded a BREEAM Excellent predicate.
