About CFP Green Buildings
Our mission: Making all buildings and homes more sustainable. With the help of online tools and the insights of our consultants, we turn everyone into a sustainability manager. The right insights enable everyone to take action towards sustainability.
CFP’s mission
Making all buildings and homes more sustainable: this is our mission. But how do we do that? CFP began as a sustainability consultancy and leveraged its experience with over 400,000 buildings to develop online tools accessible to everyone. With these tools, anyone can make buildings more sustainable using their own suppliers, contractors, and bank. As a result, the entire construction sector is now able to become more sustainable itself. CFP Green Buildings has grown from a scale of greening 3,000 buildings per year to over 3.5 million buildings per year in a growing number of countries.
Our impact
From the Van Gogh Museum and various municipalities to Lloyds Bank and the World Port Center, we are changing the supply chain. We make sustainability transparent and accessible. This has advantages for every stakeholder. For banks, this enables the issuance of more green bonds, a lower risk profile, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced CO2 emissions in annual reports. Building owners get lower energy costs, a high-quality, sustainable and healthy building, and reduced CO2 emissions. Tenants get lower service costs, energy costs and CO2 emissions and a healthier living environment. The suppliers and contractors get more orders, better quality buildings and higher quality work. Manufacturers get more influence on the market, more room to innovate, more impact, and of course reduced CO2 emissions.
Accelerating sustainability
CFP is active within various organisations with efforts to accelerate the shift towards more sustainability. Managing director Bram Adema serves on the supervisory board of MVO Nederland, the advisory board of Saxion University of Applied Science for the master’s degree in Real Estate, and the board of the Dutch Green Building Council. We also work with Duurzaam Gebouwd and Facility Management Netherlands and are always looking for new discoveries and developments. CFP’s activities have earned it a nomination for the King Willem I Award for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in 2022.

Expanding our horizons
You can find us in 26 countries, and we continue to expand our horizons. We do this through things like scientific research, informative articles and events.

Every year, we organise the Green Buildings Event, a programme of various workshops, keynote talks and innovations. We also host CFP Innovation Days that give innovative companies an opportunity to pitch their innovations. Finally, we hold the annual Green Buildings Regatta, a sailing race in which we bring together various parties from the sector to let their creative energy flow.

Green for each other
For us, sustainability is about more than just the right building methods and efficient use of energy. We want to contribute to a future built by and for happy, healthy and safe people. That is why we are not only actively engaged in making buildings more sustainable, but we are also working to improve health in buildings. In addition, we support projects that combat climate change. For example, we are taking part in the 2 Degrees North Pole Expedition, which is collecting important data on snow in the polar region. And our team members are also involved in sustainability projects in Nepal and Kenya.
