My Team
Being new in the industry, Stijn is getting familiar within the field of real estate. His background in heritage studies gave him an insight within the socio-political strategies of displaying and conserving different forms of culture within the public domain. Aiming his attention towards architecture and sustainability made him write his thesis on the reuse of building material within a large redevelopment project in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. After this project he pursued a job which combined both architecture and sustainability in the professional field and found his place within the newly formed sustainability department within Colliers.
Vanaf april 2022 ben ik aan de slag als Sustainability Consultant in het Sustainability Services team van Colliers. Na het afronden van mijn Master Environment and Resource Management heb ik mijn eerste werkervaring opgedaan in de zonnepanelen branche. Na anderhalf jaar is het tijd om mijn kennis van, en in, de duurzaamheid breder in te zetten en te vergroten.
Dit doe ik samen met mijn team door mij bezig te houden met diverse duurzaamheidsvraagstukken. Door de aanscherping van wetgevingen en de handhaving daarop is het voor vastgoedeigenaren en -investeerders een belangrijke zaak om een goede en duurzame ESG-strategie aan te gaan. Ik zorg dat ik op de hoogte ben van alle huidige en aankomende trends en regelgeving op dit vlak. Daarnaast kijk ik verder door zicht te houden op duurzame (energie) ontwikkelingen, circulariteit en innovaties.
