At Even, we create an environment that encourages our employees to follow and develop sustainable practices applicable to all products and processes. It is part of our strategy to build developments with sustainability advantages, and the proposal for sustainable construction permeates the entire rule of the business.

The process begins with the design of the development and moves on to the Products, Projects and Construction works area, dedicated to standardizing the construction method and creating projects with the best energy efficiency, lower water consumption, greater use of sustainable products and less environmental impact. In some cases, water consumption can be reduced by around 40% with our practices. These advantages justify the motto of sustainable construction by Morar Even: "we practice sustainability, and you practice economy".

The proposal offers greater financial return for those who decide to invest in our developments, greater comfort for the resident, security of a sustainable "work environment" until the delivery of the keys and would improve the neighborhood's infrastructure, with the potential for community appreciation.

Every construction developed within the standards established by the sustainability seals exceeds the fulfillment of environmental requirements. We have 57 developments with AQUA certification, which represents 110 towers, 8,462 units in a million and 383,000 square meters of built area.

However, Even's engineering absorbed the required guidelines, metrics, and management methods, so we no longer request this certification. We are currently in the process of obtaining the Edge Certificate for the Arbo Alto de Pinheiros development, which will provide savings in financing the work. To obtain certification, the works must reduce water use by 20%; 20% of energy in the development and 20% of the energy used to produce materials.

Edge certification is a partnership between the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC) and the World Bank/International Finance Corporation (IFC), linking its financing to projects that have obtained the sustainability certificate. Our professionals are attentive to the best practices and tools offered by the market, and through the study groups, we verify the feasibility of implementing the processes in our works.

One of the main goals that Even pursues is linked to compliance with the guidelines for sustainability inspections in the construction works. We carry out audits every four months in the Quality area at all construction sites. The result of this continuous inspection is linked to 1.5% of the bonus of the construction team in the PDTO (Construction Works Technical Development Program). Over the past three years, our performance in this area has shown:

2019: 94.48%

average utilization

of the construction works comply with the program;

2020: 96.23%

average utilization  

of the construction works comply with the program;

2021: 94.82%

average utilization

of construction works comply with the program.
