Providing certainty to investors through an investment risk matrix that verifies the company, its legality, its technical aspects, and its financial feasibility is part of the objectives of the agreement signed by Kartensoll Mexico and the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC) in Jalisco. With this agreement, companies that develop housing complexes will be certified and thereby seek to provide certainty to investors by reviewing those four areas that are essential to determine the risks and viability of projects. The president of the Board of Directors of Kartensoll Mexico, Diego Gabriel Espinosa de los Monteros, indicated that it is a Mexican company that first emerged to invest capital in the real estate sector and over time they realized that it was important to provide certainty first to their investments and later to those of their partners. However, in the country there were no risk rating companies in the real estate sector that could prepare the certificate of real estate confidence and where they evaluate “the good practices of developers, builders and all agents involved in real estate development so that they are distinguished from those who are not developers, who are not experts and who are not in their area of work.” He explained that by detecting this part, what they seek with this agreement is to grant a distinction to developers with experience, who have a good relationship with the entire productive chain of the real estate sector and also seek to protect the interests of investors, investment funds, ecological financial functions and also the interests of the final consumer so that they have the confidence that they will not have problems when purchasing a home. The certification is new in Mexico, it does not exist as such in the country and they, together with the Mexican Accreditation Association, seek to be those who validate the processes and all that knowledge seek to transfer it to the CMIC. “Kartensoll developed a methodology based on a philosophy of conscious capitalism, which not only seeks economic benefits, but also cares about its clients, its employees, its suppliers, society and ecology,” he said. In this regard, the president of CMIC, Carlos del Río, stated that with this certificate, companies will be given added value because they will generate certainty and “it will be more attractive for all investors to have this certification, it will provide a mechanism for them to know in an objective way that they are investing in developments that meet all the requirements.” But this also represents a topic of interest for them because it implies having what he called a healthy ecosystem of the relationship that exists between developers, with their suppliers, with builders, with society and with the environment,For this reason, they will be promoters of this certification.
