Representing the industry

 

Committees

Our top priority is to serve the interests of our members and the industry in general. We do this through establishing a number of committees and working groups, made up of members selected for their skills and experience.

Current committees are dedicated to Due Diligence, ESG,  Performance Measurement, Public Affairs, Reporting, Research, Tax, Technology, Training & Education and Young Professionals.

Advisory Councils

INREV has two advisory councils. The Investor Advisory Council advises the CEO on current issues affecting the industry in Europe, introduces new ideas to INREV, and profiles new initiatives that will benefit all members.

The Fund Manager Advisory Council acts as a sounding board to the CEO, provides investment/fund manager input on future initiatives, and increases participation by investment managers in INREV's activities.

Management Board

INREV's management board guides the association’s strategy. The management board meets regularly to discuss and address industry developments. Many management board members also participate in INREV’s committees and working groups.

Diversity and Inclusion

At our core, INREV stands tall for inclusivity, taking pride in the oasis of diversity that we have cultured within our organisation. We stand for tolerance and equality for all and we are steadfast in our belief that our industry has no place for racism, discrimination or inequality of any kind. As an industry we need to do more.
