Go beyond presentations and panel discussions and experience firsthand how capital raised in the international bond markets translates into tangible social and environmental impact. As part of the PRI in Person week, this is a unique engagement and study opportunity, joining BNG Bank on a visit to:
- Social housing project by De Alliantie. Housing association De Alliantie’s large-scale social housing redevelopment project in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, combining sustainability, affordability, and community renewal. The project includes the renovation of 300 homes and the replacement of 314 existing apartments with 534 new apartments. Participants will also learn about the wider neighborhood transformation, featuring new schools and enhanced public spaces.
- Sustainability project of the City of Amsterdam. The trip goes to “de Bosbaan”, a historic rowing course set in the heart of the forest “het Amsterdamse Bos”. Built in 1937, it is one of the oldest artificial rowing courses in the Netherlands. It was recently renovated and made sustainable to host the world championship rowing last August. During the trip participants learn more about this project and the City of Amsterdam’s view on sustainable investments.
Gain valuable insights into social and green financing by BNG Bank in the Netherlands with projects showcasing themes such as city liveability, social housing, climate transition and circular material use.
This field trip is organised by ING in collaboration with BNG Bank. The coach will depart from the RAI conference centre at 09.30am sharp.
