iO Partners and Walvius Partners have announced an exclusive cooperation agreement to introduce asset & portfolio sustainability services. 


As part of the agreement, Walvius Partners' energy & sustainability services will be introduced into iO Partners' commercial real estate advisory offerings across the CEE region. 

This collaboration aims to expand iO’s service offering to include integrated support for energy efficiency, environmental performance, and broader sustainability strategies, fully incorporated into its real estate advisory model.

Charles Boudet, CEO of iO Partners, said: "Embedding sustainability and energy efficiency in our service offering will help our clients build more resilient assets and portfolios, protecting value, reducing operating costs, preparing for incoming regulations and aligning with future user’s expectations.”

Steffen Walvius, Founder of Walvius Partners, added that the goal is to help clients achieve real progress on energy efficiency and environmental performance, while enhancing the value and resilience of their assets.

This move is part of iO Partners' goal to become a comprehensive one-stop CEE advisory provider, with sustainability now a core part of its client value proposition. 

In addition, Walvius Partners will assist clients in the transition to more resilient, efficient, and sustainable assets and portfolios.
