Bog'Art publishes its first sustainability report

Business Forum
Romanian construction group Bog'Art has published its first sustainability report that outlines the company's results and objectives under the ESG development framework. 

The group's portfolio comprises over 650 completed projects, totaling more than 3 million sqm, with a contracted value of approximately €2 billion over the past three decades. 

In collaboration with BuildGreen consultants, the construction company developed its own questionnaire to evaluate the level of sustainability practices implemented across its sites nationwide, using the industry's best practices as benchmarks. 

“Our commitment to strong corporate governance, reducing environmental impact, and respecting the people who work alongside us are essential pillars for generating positive and lasting change in the local construction industry,” says Bogdan Doicescu, Group CEO of Bog'Art Holding Management. 

The group said its proprietary site assessment system ensures traceability and identifies deviations from the highest international standards, adopting the Considerate Constructors Scheme model from the UK. The methodology aligns with GRI reporting standards, while the company's objectives follow the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Decarbonisation is a competitive edge in Romania

Romania's ongoing energy crisis, marked by record-low Danube water levels and declining nuclear output, has prompted sustainability consultancy BuildGreen to argue that decarbonisation should be treated as a cost management and risk reduction tool rather than purely an ESG obligation. According to ANRE data, hydropower and nuclear energy together accounted for nearly half of Romania's electricity generation in March 2026, yet nuclear production fell by 12.3% in the first five months of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. This pressure arose despite electricity consumption being 3.4% lower than during the corresponding period in 2025.

Green finance becomes the new rule for Romanian real estate

Sustainability criteria are playing an increasing role when banks finance real estate projects in Romania, while buildings that meet green finance standards can obtain better terms. These are the findings of a study carried out by Colliers on the local market, based on responses from four commercial banks, which together hold more than half of the Romanian banking system's assets, and two multilateral development banks active in the real estate sector. The clearest rule identified for new buildings is the NZEB-10% standard, applied by all institutions analysed. All six require the primary energy demand of a new building to be at least 10% below the national NZEB threshold, and a project that does not meet this standard may still be financed, but the loan will generally not be classified as green finance.
