FINANCIAL RETURN WITH A POSITIVE IMPACT
Energy is now one of the top concerns for Belgian businesses. Faced with rising energy costs, the growing electrification of vehicle fleets, the rise of battery storage, and new European regulatory requirements, investments in sustainable energy infrastructure have become a strategic necessity.
This trend is part of a rapidly expanding market. While Belgium lags behind the European average in terms of renewable energy, the growth potential remains significant. Solar panels are currently the fastest-growing energy source in the country, while charging stations and energy storage solutions are rapidly gaining traction among businesses.
Through the Quares Sustainability Initiative, investors help finance concrete energy efficiency and renewable energy generation projects for Belgian companies.
Today, the Quares Sustainability Initiative offers investors the opportunity to participate in a loan designed to finance sustainable energy projects for Belgian companies.
- Total amount: up to €900,000
- Term: 5 years
- Gross interest rate: 5.50% per year
- Monthly interest payments
- Minimum investment amount: starting at €250
YOUR MONEY AT WORK
We support every project from start to finish. We entrust the design, installation, monitoring, and maintenance to certified specialists, ensuring that every system operates optimally from the outset and continues to do so throughout the lease term. Thanks to a comprehensive warranty agreement, unexpected costs are completely eliminated.
The company pays for the installation using a portion of the savings it realizes on its energy costs. These rental revenues form the basis of your annual return of 5.50% and close the loop: the company saves on its energy bill, and you profit from your investment.
To make this possible, we work with a well-designed financing structure. Your capital is spread across different installations and companies, and each project is fully insured. Additionally, BNP Paribas finances 70 to 80% of each project following a rigorous selection process. You cover the remaining 20 to 30% through this campaign. So you’re investing in good company!

REAL-WORLD PROJECTS SUPPORTING THE ENERGY TRANSITION
The funds raised will be used to refinance existing projects and finance new energy installations for Belgian companies.
Selected projects:
• COCA-COLA EUROPEAN PARTNERS – 1,476 LED lights
• SNCB – 1,182 LED lights
• NEXANS – 551 solar panels
• ETION – 404 solar panels
• LICENSE TO CONSTRUCT – 38 charging stations
• OPTION MEDIA – 215 kWh of battery storage
You are not investing in an idea or a technology still in development. You are investing in facilities that are already helping companies reduce their energy costs and generating long-term rental income.
This revenue forms the basis of the return offered to investors.
AN EXPERIENCED TEAM WITH A PROVEN TRACK RECORD
Behind the Quares Sustainability Initiative (QSI) lies more than 20 years of experience in creating, structuring, and successfully launching funds. QUARES Investment, a well-established player in the Belgian real estate sector, has a track record that speaks for itself:
• Quares Retail Fund (QRF): listed on the Brussels Stock Exchange as a publicly traded real estate company.
• Quares Student Housing (QSH): successfully developed and sold to Xior, the publicly traded company specializing in student housing in Europe.
This campaign builds on a proven model. In 2021, the Quares Sustainability Initiative raised €370,000 via Spreds to finance similar sustainable energy projects. This funding has since been fully repaid to investors, demonstrating the model’s ability to generate the revenue needed to meet its commitments.
