Bank of added value

Barneveld housing association has made 79 houses in the Oude Bloemenbuurt more sustainable. It worked with building contractor Van Wijnen and obtained funding from BNG to implement various energy-saving measures, including the insulation of the buildings’ outer shell and the installation of solar panels. The measures have reduced carbon emissions and energy costs, and provide greater comfort for residents. This project is a perfect illustration of how housing associations can accelerate sustainability through smart partnerships.

The Hague, September 2025 – BNG posted a net profit of EUR 142 million in the first half of 2025. This underlines our effectiveness in responding to the substantial public funding needs and investment challenges, as well as our resilience in a period marked by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and significant volatility in the financial markets. Our capital and liquidity position remained consistently strong.

At the end of 2024, the municipality of Reusel-De Mierden welcomed De Kei, a modern, multifunctional building where people can watch theatrical performances, attend conferences or visit the library, among other things. This energy-neutral building, which replaced an outdated community centre, provides space for a variety of purposes. Thanks to funding from BNG, the municipality of Reusel-De Mierden was able to achieve its ambition for a future-proof meeting place that combines culture and care with connecting people.
