Sustainable construction, policy and the road ahead

Sustainable construction, policy and the road ahead

On Tuesday 4 November 2025, the Dutch Environmental Database Foundation (NMD) is organising its annual symposium at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden.

This year, Stichting NMD officially celebrates its 5th anniversary. But the development of sustainable construction began much earlierTogether with the architects of the system and policymakers, we look back at the milestones that have shaped both NMD and the sector. And we look ahead: how do we continue to build a future-proof construction sector in which data and sustainability take centre stage?

Environmental requirements are becoming increasingly stringent and refined – both nationally and across Europe. What does that mean for you as a builder, policymaker or supplier? How can you meet the MPG and ECI requirements? We warmly invite you to share your ideas, join the conversation and help shape the story on stage. Join us and contribute to building tomorrow’s construction sector.

Who is it for?

The symposium is intended for public and private clients, users of data (architects, engineers, contractors, installers and calculation tool providers), and data suppliers in the residential, non-residential and infrastructure sectors who prioritise sustainable construction.

Programme

The afternoon programme starts at 13:00 with coffee and biscuits, and will be opened by moderator Maarten Schäffner. At around 17:00, we will close with informal drinks. The programme is already largely in place, but still under construction and being refined. As soon as more details are available, we will keep you informed via the website, newsletter and LinkedIn..
