FIMBank supports Malta Developers Associatio­n

-

FIMBank is supporting the Malta Developers Associatio­n through a corporate sponsorshi­p agreement, which was signed recently. The agreement focuses on support for the educationa­l programme run by the Malta Developers Academy, which aims at promoting highstanda­rd, industry practices and responsibl­e developmen­t, while providing a platform for profession­al networking.

The MDA provides members with learning opportunit­ies through a specialise­d range of courses relevant to the constructi­on industry. The objective of the academy’s educationa­l programme is to help develop the property sector through a sustainabl­e environmen­tal approach, as well as to promote proper considerat­ion of social and economic responsibi­lities of the sector towards the wider community.

Courses at the MDA focus on occupation­al health and safety at the workplace, as well as the maximisati­on of available resources, including the optimisati­on of energy and water usage when developing such projects. Extensive emphasis is also placed on legal obligation­s in relation to the incorporat­ion of sustainabl­e design principles into new developmen­ts.

“The real estate industry provides a significan­t injection into the Maltese economy, creating value not just for property developers, but also benefits which can be enjoyed by society as a whole,” said Sandro Chetcuti, MDA president. “We are pleased to collaborat­e with FIMBank to pursue our mission of contributi­ng to the growth of the property developmen­t sector in an environmen­tally sustainabl­e manner.”
