Jochem Lubsen on influencing a sustainable future for the built environment

Most recently, Jochem has launched Rabobank's first Construction & Real Estate roundtable for young professionals. A knowledge-centric initiative crafted to shape a sustainable future for the built environment. Reflecting on the roundtable, Jochem shares, "Engaging with 15 young professionals was very inspiring; I found their fresh perspectives on the influence of the energy transition in the built environment incredibly stimulating. We dived into a many captivating topics, such as future-proof project development and the revitalization of obsolete buildings."

The roundtable also brought together collective efforts towards reimagining existing ways of working and championing future-proof, Paris-compliant projects.

A 'future-proof energy system' entails not only reducing energy consumption but also transitioning to sustainable sources. At Rabobank, we don’t just empower our employees to be the driving force of change, but also empower companies in this transition by providing expertise and financing for sustainability measures. With a robust presence across the Dutch construction and real estate value chain we are dedicated in our commitment to driving positive change. From initial planning and development, to construction and asset management.

We celebrate and support Jochem in his quest to challenge the status quo and be the thought-starter behind shaping a sustainable future for the built environment. The roundtable session not only gathered fresh young perspectives on the influence of the energy transition but also delved deep into the exciting future-poof solutions of tomorrow.
