The Fund uses BREEAM to measure and assess the overall sustainability of its buildings. The BREEAM methodology covers a wide range of subjects; from energy to transport, from vegetation and materials to indoor climate quality.

To promote and increase sustainable procurement, we have launched a project with IVBN and a number of fellow fund managers to engage and assess the Fund’s suppliers using a sustainability web tool.
