Real estate is not immobile. It must have three positive impacts.

Tremendous demographic and climate challenges are looming. We must act now and make the changes necessary to protect nature and the health and well-being of all.  

As designers and managers of urban spaces, we’re aware of our role and responsibility in helping our clients, places and residents become more resilient.

But how?
Before taking the slightest decision, we ensure it will have a triple positive impact: “people-planet-profit” at each entreprise-level.

We do our part to limit climate change

We recognise the ecological emergency, the limits of over-consuming resources and the need for specific responses to meet future challenges. 
We’re committed to enhancing the environmental performance of the assets and neighbourhoods we manage or create.

• We refurbish, choose the right materials and develop smart tools to cut energy consumption of carbon, water and volume of waste.
• We detoxify soils and create useful, productive green spaces to foster local biodiversity and create cool spots in the city.
• We connect sites to the city and promote soft mobility and energies flexibility to limit our and the neighbourhood’s carbon footprint.

We work towards making living better a reality for all

We’re convinced that two things are necessary for living well. Firstly, urban spaces must be made more human and enviable. Secondly, mutual aid and solidarity between people and places must be strengthened. 
We’re committed to building a more enviable world.

• We foster the creation of social bonds by designing places for all generations and organising cultural, sportive and festive events open to everyone.
• We promote participatory governance and dialogue with all by co-creating and managing each site with the owners, elected officials, businesses, residents, associations and local players.
• We develop the local and solidarity economy and spur onsite job creation by designing mixed-use, connected, lively neighbourhoods.

We work towards making living better a reality for all

We act responsibly and sustainably

As a company, we know that we must grow in a sustainable way in order to achieve our goals and make the changes necessary for resilience. 
We also know that there is no economic and financial performance without positive impacts on places, people and the planet.

• We responsibly and sustainably develop our sites and projects’ intrinsic value by implementing an ethical charter and stressing transparency.
• We look after the well-being of all our employees, partners, clients and users by promoting free expression and participatory governance.
• We offer economically and sustainably viable solutions by discussing and co-constructing each of our projects in an agile way with all the stakeholders.

HR: acting daily to improve professional equality

Equal treatment of women and men and, more generally, the prevention of all forms of discrimination is an important aspect of Nhood's human resources policy.

Professional gender equality must enable men and women in the company to benefit from equal treatment in terms of access to employment, professional training, promotion, remuneration and working conditions.

In accordance with the law for the freedom to choose their own one's professional future promulgated on 5 September 2018, the UES Nhood publishes its 2021 gender equality index to measure wage differences between men and women. 

• The score obtained by the UES Nhood (including Nhood Services France and Nhood Holding) on the 5 criteria provided for by the law is 76/100: 
  
  Wage gap indicator: 21 / 40

Objectives : Achieve a score of 26/40.
Actions :
- Conduct gap studies and analysis and make proposals for increases during the salary increase campaign
- Commission a compensation study from a consulting firm

• Difference in rate of increase indicator: 20 / 20
• Promotion rate gap indicator: 15 / 15
• Promotion rate gap indicator: 15 / 15
• High salaries or wages indicator: 5/10

Objective: maintain the 5/10 rating

We encourage positive initiatives!

And it is very concrete! We manage and run the Ceetrus Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship in France.  Its aim? To help the creation and development of social enterprises by meeting the needs of social entrepreneurs or their support networks. This contributes to the emergence of new services and activities that meet the essential needs of citizens and territories. This is a great way to unite all our teams around a solidarity-based approach that has a real social impact on the territories.

The best way to achieve your goals is to see where you stand.
So let’s measure each of our projects’ impacts.
