BidX1 is a digital property platform which connects users across the globe with real estate investment opportunities in five markets, and enables them to complete the entire purchase online.
We are a high-growth business. Our CEO, Michael Murphy, often describes us as an ‘Irish company, with international impact’: BidX1 launched operations in four new markets between 2018 and 2019, with bidders from over 60 countries to date.
There is clearly a strong link between digital transformation – improving traditional industries and practices through technology – and environmental impact.
As a digital property company, our business model is inherently more sustainable than traditional real estate, and we have always made a conscious effort to consider environmental principles when making business decisions.
However, after a period of rapid international expansion and growth across the business, we wanted to take a closer look at our environmental performance.
We didn’t want to rely on the assumption that sustainability was a by-product of being a ‘PropTech’ company. We wanted to be more proactive – and more accountable.
