Future-proof
At Montea, we create future-proof spaces. We build and invest in logistics real estate for the next generations. Sustainability is at the heart of our operations as we remediate polluted land, clean up historical issues and create jobs in centrally located places that have often been abandoned for years.
Energy efficient
We are committed to energy-efficient solutions and promoting renewable energy across our portfolio. By the end of 2027, we aim to double our solar panel capacity to 135 MWp, with an investment of nearly €27 million in solar energy. Additionally, Montea is investing €50 million in 100 MWh of battery energy storage systems to ensure a stable and sufficient energy supply for our clients while helping stabilize the grid.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
We are actively working to reduce our carbon footprint by cutting CO2 emissions from our existing portfolio by 45% by the end of 2027 (compared to 2019 levels). We are committed to ensuring all our new buildings are carbon-neutral, producing net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
>80% grey and brownfields
Our developments focus on sustainability, circularity, and multifunctionality. Over 80% of our 2 million m² land bank consists of grey- and brownfield sites, which we transform into energy-positive logistics hubs. In recent years, we have invested €15 million in land remediation to revitalize polluted sites.
Multigenerational
Montea takes a long-term approach to sustainability by:
- Selecting the best strategic locations near ports, airports, motorways, and railway stations.
- Choosing multi-modal sites that support sustainable transport.
- Investing in multifunctional, energy-positive buildings that we redevelop in partnership with our clients.
Sustainable materials
At Montea’s Blue Gate Antwerp and Aalst sites, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is used for construction because it offers major sustainability benefits: the wood, sourced from specially cultivated trees, captures and stores CO2 even after harvesting; it supports circular construction by allowing reuse, which reduces waste; it significantly lowers emissions compared to concrete production; it ensures a minimal ecological footprint by sourcing materials from Europe; and it promotes reforestation by replanting trees, creating a continuous cycle of environmental responsibility and sustainable growth.

Vision and strategic focus
Sustainability has always been part of Montea’s DNA. Our Track27 strategic growth plan reinforces our long-term commitment to sustainability with a clear vision for 2030 and 2050. By integrating sustainable practices into our business model, we ensure long-term value creation rather than short-term profit.
