BNG Bank has provided around € 45 million in financing to the Ons Middelbaar Onderwijs association (OMO) for a range of property investments, resulting from progressive decentralisation contracts (DDCs). Under the DDCs, schools are responsible for sustainable new construction, using previously-agreed annual allowances from the municipality.
OMO in Tilburg is the governing body for many secondary schools in Brabant. The schools provide education ranging from preparatory secondary vocational education (VMBO) to pre-university education (VWO). Many schools also offer practical education and learning pathway support education.
To ensure a sustainably-built school stays sustainable, it needs a healthy indoor climate. This means that attention must be given to air, light, sound and so on during construction.
We are the bank for the Dutch public sector and we are driven by social impact. We aim to be a natural partner for our clients by helping them addressing the social challenges they have to cope with. Instead of maximising profits, our priority is to maximise the social impact of our activities.
