The methodology used for the selection of the premises was developed for the fund by Triodos Bank in exclusive cooperation with Novem (Dutch Organization for Energy and the Environment).
Triodos Bank, which bills itself as a pioneer in sustainable banking and green banking, says that this will set a market standard for sustainable real estate in the Netherlands. The fund stimulates more careful use of building materials, raw materials, energy and water and invests in the most innovative sustainable offices and shops. But also in existing buildings which are subsequently renovated and managed in a sustainable manner.
In addition to sustainable building, the fund has a special interest in investments in historical buildings which have been official designated as monuments due to their beauty, their scientific significance or their cultural/historical value.
