ANREV actively promotes and supports the planning and implementation of sustainability into investments within the non-listed real estate fund industry in Asia. In 2012, the Sustainability Working Group was established with three major objectives:

• To improve members and prospect members level of sustainability knowledge

• To promote the adoption of sustainability initiatives within real estate investments

• To encourage and raise the standard of sustainability reporting matters.

Throughout the past 3 years, the working group has coordinated presentations, discussions and publications to address sustainability issues and to increase the awareness of their three major objectives.This newsletter hopes to summarise the efforts of this group and provide you with an update on some of the global sustainability initiatives takingplace.
