How do we create healthy, future-proof residential, working and living environments – without getting stuck in separate tick-box lists? In this session, Jeroen Schinkel, Manager Strategy & Concepts, and Gerrit-Jan Teunissen, Sustainability Adviser, will show how systems thinking, the SDGs and Paris Proof principles help us collaborate in an integrated way and make better choices. What we will discuss with you (with plenty of room for discussion):
- Paris Proof as an integrated approach: From ambition to concrete design and material selection, right through to operations and use.
- SDGs as a compass to make ambitions integrated, clear and auditable.
- Sustainability is more than energy & CO₂: What does that concretely require from design and collaboration across the value chain?

That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'
