AREF is pleased to announce we have become a member of the Academy of Real Assets, an Academy set up in 2021 by a group of real estate/real assets professionals, who joined forces to do something practical about promoting diversity and helping those less fortunate than ourselves to learn more about a career in real estate.
AREF is passionate about Diversity & Inclusion, it is one of our current strategic priorities, however, we recognise that there is only so much that we can do through our day-to-day activities, which is why we have decided to support The Academy of Real Assets and are proud of the vital work they do.
