We are proud to share a significant achievement that marks a new chapter in our sustainability journey: ROMYNOX has officially received the
BREEAM-NL certification with an impressive score of EXCELLENT 72.17%. This milestone highlights our commitment to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.
Recently, we were honored to welcome Alderman Bart van Straten and Account Manager Anita Monshouwer-Beijer from Pijnacker-Nootdorp Municipality to our facilities. Their visit emphasized the importance of sustainability not only within our business but also within our local community. Together, we celebrated this achievement alongside our other certifications: ISO 14001 and the CO2 Performance Ladder.
What is BREEAM? The Global Standard for Sustainability
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading global certification system for sustainable buildings and projects. Originating from the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in the UK, it is now applied in more than 80 countries and has certified nearly 600,000 projects worldwide.
BREEAM-NL is particularly valued in the Netherlands for its rigorous assessment of sustainability performance across multiple criteria, including energy efficiency, indoor health, environmental impact, and future readiness. By achieving BREEAM-NL EXCELLENT status, we ensure that our facilities are prepared for both gradual and sudden changes. This future-proof approach reflects our long-term vision for sustainability and business resilience.
Why BREEAM Certification Matters for ROMYNOX
A sustainable building is not just better for the planet—it also saves on operational costs. Moreover, these buildings are more attractive to tenants and users, offering higher property value and rental potential. With subsidies available for BREEAM-certified projects, the financial benefits are clear.
The BREEAM-NL certification provides measurable insights into a project's sustainability performance. It demonstrates that Romynox meets higher standards than legally required, a value recognized and appreciated by the market. A BREEAM-certified building also ensures a healthier indoor climate, focusing on ventilation, light, and air quality. A healthy workplace improves employee well-being, productivity, and satisfaction—something we prioritize at ROMYNOX.
This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our team. A special thanks to Arnold van Herk and Laura Roos, who played a vital role in realizing this project. Their efforts have positioned ROMYNOX among the most sustainable businesses in the Pijnacker-Nootdorp region. At ROMYNOX, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. This certification is a step toward creating a lasting positive impact on our environment, community, and industry.
