Manager Esg
CurrentBouwinvest is a Dutch Institutional Real Estate Investor; I originally joined because I believe that if we want to solve the climate crises and realize a just carbon transition we should find a way to have capital markets support that transition. Real Estate, of course, contributes to carbon emissions in substantial ways, and the long investment horizon gives space to make impact that matters. Originally I joined to organize and lead the organization-wide transition to a data driven way of working with a special focus on enabling a fact-based carbon transition of our $15B+ Real Estate portfolio. In November 2023 I was promoted to lead our ESG department. I took that job to see if we can find a way to align ESG with the financial interests of our clients and thus proving (thru data and persuasion) that we cán better align capital flows with the holistic interests of humanity.
