As part of our ongoing ESG Spotlight series, we’re focusing on the INREV Sustainability module – a vital component of the INREV Guidelines designed to support the integration of ESG into non-listed real estate investment vehicles.
This best practice module provides a clear framework to help investment managers and governing bodies develop, implement and monitor ESG strategies that align with their vehicle’s objectives. It ensures that sustainability considerations are embedded throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle – from strategy setting to operations and reporting.
Key highlights of the module include:
- Strategic ESG integration: Supports the inclusion of ESG objectives in vehicle strategy and governance.
- Operational guidance: Embeds ESG into daily processes, including supply chain, asset management and risk oversight.
- Structured oversight: Outlines roles and responsibilities to ensure accountability and effective ESG performance management.
- Performance monitoring: Encourages the use of INREV KPIs to track and report ESG outcomes.
- Aligned reporting: Fully integrated with the INREV Reporting module, enabling consistent and transparent ESG disclosures.
- Regulatory and market alignment: References frameworks such as GRESB, TCFD, and EU regulations.
The module equips managers with tools to meet rising stakeholder expectations and regulatory standards while supporting sustainable value creation.
