Time: 1430-1515

Theme: ‘Sustainable Futures’ - Meeting ambitious sustainability criteria has become significant in property valuation due to regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations and future proofing of your asset.  No longer is this criteria a 'nice to have' it is in many instances a binary choice which will determine whether financing will be made available.  

The 'sustainable futures' panel discussion at PROVADA, Amsterdam will consider the views of our panel of experts on topics including legislative considerations and how they differ across borders, benchmarking systems, policing and incentives for ensuring compliance and how this can still make sense in a challenging economic cycle.  

Join us on Day 1 from the Arena stage (12-60) at PROVADA Register HERE or turn up during PROVADA.  We Look forward to seeing you.
