Embedding sustainability in an iconic multi-purpose economic complex hosting about 70 million guests a year in São Paulo
Development of a Sustainability Strategy, including policies, targets, performance indicator and reports related to the ESG agenda
A more resilient business, contributing to the sustainable development of the city and able to carry more responsible and value-added relationships with its stakeholders
Cidade Center Norte is an iconic multi-purpose complex in São Paulo that plays an important role in the economy of the city´s north zone (about 3 million residents) and hosts about 70 million guests (from all over the country) every year. They are so big and diverse that they call themselves a city (‘Cidade’ means city in Portuguese).
Acting as the protector of the sustainability strategy, working with CNN was to witness their sustainability culture unfold. Their willingness to make things right was already present in 2018, but the true comprehension of the gaps to be closed and the multistakeholder commitment to embark in this journey was something Arcadis is grateful to have contributed to.
A place to be proud of – that´s how we can describe Cidade Center Norte. Focusing on their customers, the client aimed to be an organized, safe and sustainable complex. In order to honor this commitment, CCN counted on Arcadis´ support in developing and implementing several initiatives which would set the path for CNN to become a reference in quality of life and innovation, by promoting access to quality consumption, health, education, culture, leisure and entertainment, through ventures that respect the people and the environment of the city.
