The global spread of COVID-19 and the impact on the global societies is creating major operational and reporting challenges for investment managers.

The Spectrum for Impact Investment is the framework prepared by INREV to map out different investment approaches for real estate, depending on investors’ ambition for environmental and social impact. 

The INREV Standard Data Delivery Sheet aims to standardise the information exchanged between a fund manager and an investor.

An updated SDDS is currently open for member consultation. The SDDS 3.1 version released in January 2017 is still available for download below together with a full implementation kit. An unprotected version is available upon request, please contact professional.standards@inrev.org.
