Emilia Dębowska
Sustainability Director
Panattoni
She has been working at Panattoni for 9 years, currently in the position of Director of Sustainability. She is responsible for integrating sustainable development practices into the company's business strategy, ESG, BREEAM certification, pursuing the carbon neutrality goal and changing the image of industrial warehouses towards convenience.
As a result of the implemented changes Panattoni became the first developer to introduce the BREEAM NC certification for industrial space into its development standard - first at the Good level, then gradually upgraded to Very good and now Excellent. To date, Panattoni has completed environmental certification for facilities in Europe totalling more than 12 million sqm - including Poland's first BREEAM certificate at the highest level - Outstanding. A further 6.5 million sqm awaits assessment. Panattoni's certification of buildings goes hand in hand with real changes to their surroundings - every year the developer, among other things, installs several hundred vehicle charging stations, several hundred leisure zones for employees and develops millions of sqm of green areas with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS).

She also completed Business Sustainability Management at the University of Cambridge and postgraduate studies at the College of Management and Finance of Warsaw School of Economics (product and service management).
