Working Environment

We value creativity, self-discipline and a commitment to team spirit. Our company's growth strategy - the very foundations of Cofinimmo's continued success - depends on the creation and maintenance of a safe, enjoyable and pleasant working environment.

Diversity

Our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce is best illustrated by the fact that Cofinimmo is one of the 17 companies in Brussels to have signed up to the "Diversity Plans" and one of the 4 to have received the official "Diversity label". This is an initiative of the Economy and Employment Minister of the Brussels-Capital Region. In-house, this approach is endorsed by a Charter. In terms of age groups considered to be subject to discrimination, 6% of the Cofinimmo staff are under 26 years of age and 22% over 46.

Nurturing talent

Our company constantly strives to develop the talents and skills of our staff making them true experts in their respective fields. By way of exemple, recently, Cofinimmo won the Award of "Most innovative Legal Department of the Year 2010". This prize rewards a legal department which has contributed to the awareness within its company or group of companies of important legal matters or compliance with law.

Over 89% of our staff attended one or more training courses in 2009, representing a total of 4,300 hours and a budget equivalent to approaching 2.5% of the total gross salary bill. These opportunities are made available to all staff. Some 620 training days are allocated for our staff, of which around 50 typically focus on environmental topics, energy performance of buildings and sustainable development.
