Too many certificates! From an investment point of
view it becomes important to assess transition risk
and Paris Proofness of an asset, which should be
reflected in one score.

WHAT INVESTORS WANTHarmonized building certification schemes
“When an accounting standard like IFRS is not
perfect, you want to improve the standard,
instead of developing a new standard. It
appears that in real estate we tend to do the
opposite. Even the term Net Zero Carbon
comes with multiple definitions which cannot
be aggregated at a global level. Hence we
encourage harmonization across borders.”
