    PostNL receives BREEAM-NL In-Use sustainability label

    PostNL first to receive sustainability label for existing logistics buildings

    PostNL (ticker symbol: PNL) is the Netherlands’ first logistics company to successfully have the sustainable achievements of two of its buildings certified with the BREEAM-NL In-Use sustainability label. On this occasion they visit the Amsterdam exchange and open trading by sounding the gong.

    The BREEAM-NL In-Use sustainability label has been used for existing office buildings for some time. The label considers sustainability in a broad sense, such as energy and water consumption, but also at building maintenance and how sustainably the employees make use of the building. Existing logistics buildings were not yet eligible to be evaluated by BREEAM-NL In-Use. The label had to be made suitable for these types of buildings. Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC), the administrator and developer of the label, had PostNL go through a pilot, together with a few other logistics organizations. Annemarie van Doorn, DGBC Director: ‘The fact that the label for these types of buildings is being made available is partly due to PostNL’s request.’

    PostNL was looking for an independent party to measure the level of sustainability of its logistics buildings. Albert Rodenboog, Production Director and in charge of sustainability at PostNL: “These buildings are an important part of our company. We want them to meet strict sustainability requirements in use and maintenance. The DGBC label now shows us how sustainable they are as well as the best ways for us to improve in that area. I’m proud of our contribution to the development of the label.” To make its buildings even more sustainable, PostNL is installing solar panels on the roofs of its parcels sorting centres and is opting for the most sustainable alternatives when replacing installations.

    KAS BANK (ticker symbol: KA) opens trading on the occasion of the bank’s recent win of “Custodian of the Year” at the annual European Pensions Awards held in London in early June. In addition to the recognition of the role of KAS BANK, this award is seen by KAS BANK as reward for the prominent and innovative role of the entire Dutch pensions and securities industries within Europe.

    One of the recent innovations that the independent jury referred to in their motivation to recognize KAS BANK, was the launch last year of a cost benchmarking service. This initiative has been acknowledged as an important step towards greater transparency of the true cost to pension funds of the total investment process. Not only enhancing transparency for an individual scheme, it shows how these costs compare to a similar group of pension funds. As a result of this information trustee boards, pension fund professionals, members and all stakeholders now better understand the total costs of running the fund, both explicit and implicit. Since the start of the initiative, more than 50 pension funds have signed up to participate in the benchmark. This makes this cost benchmark one of the most used in the Netherlands.
