We take responsibility

Commitment to people and the environment

As a family-led company with a long tradition, we know what it means to take responsibility for our surroundings, our own employees, as well as the regions in which we are active. Therefore, we promote and support projects and associations that are involved in social and ecological issues, making our contribution to a better society. This is why we are continually helping to shape culture, public spaces and society.

Social

Promoting unity

As a company, we are also a part of society, and are therefore committed to making a contribution to social cohesion.

This means an active commitment to creating a higher quality of life in the regions in which we are located. As a part of this commitment, we promote and support associations and projects that work to promote unity.

Art and Culture

Broadening perspectives

Because we are designers and creators, we are passionate about artistic topics and are committed to recognizing them.

For this reason, among other projects, we support the Wolfgang Hahn Prize, awarded by the “Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst“ (Society for Modern Art) at Museum Ludwig in Cologne, which promotes exceptional contemporary artists.

Sustainability

Thinking about tomorrow

Commitment to sustainability means thinking about tomorrow: creating and preserving quality of life. For instance, in addition to being a defining urban design element, Cologne’s green belt is particularly important for sports and local recreation.

Along with the “Kölner Grün Stiftung“ (Cologne Green Foundation), Bauwens is active in the preservation and enhancement of parks. The “Green Belt Impulse” initiative ensures that the green heart of the city will be maintained for the future. This is why, when it comes to real estate, we are also thinking about tomorrow: planning and building in a resource-efficient and sustainable way.

Sports

Team spirit and responsibility

The term “sports” stands for team spirit. Anyone who is part of a team has to take on responsibility. In clubs, social togetherness also plays an important role.

Bauwens therefore supports all kinds of sports organizations, whether soccer, hockey or basketball – from amateur sports to professional teams. Sporting events like the B2Run in Cologne help our own team grow closer together and push themselves to excel.

Education

Shaping the future together

Because we want to contribute to the future of education, collaboration and exchanges with universities and research institutions are especially important to us.

In lectures and on joint projects, we share our knowledge and seek to inspire students to pursue innovative topics in the real estate industry.

Cologne Green Foundation

We are the cologne green foundation!

With the creation of the Cologne Green Foundation, we honor the memory of Konrad Adenauer, who was instrumental in letting Cologne’s former cordon of fortifications be transformed into parks and green spaces.

As a Cologne company with a rich tradition, we are proud to preserve this inheritance and to contribute to a greener cityscape and a higher quality of life.
