The Approach

EVORA Global has supported Bouwinvest with environmental data assurance covering:

  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)

Key Outcomes

  • Understand data accuracy
  • Develop improvement management plans of environmental data
  • Maintain maximum points under the GRESB ‘Data Monitoring and Review’ section – contributing 5.5% of overall GRESB scores.
