Accompanying text questionnaire: Geachte heer,
Zoals aangegeven ben ik bezig met mijn scriptie voor de deeltijdopleiding Master Facility and Real Estate Management, waarvoor ik interviews wil houden. Ter voorbereiding op het interview wil ik u vragen om de vragenlijst (zie bijlage 1) alvast in te vullen. Deze bestaat uit twee delen, het eerste deel betreft algemene vragen over uw organisatie en vastgoedportefeuille aan bod komen. In het tweede deel worden 21 duurzaamheidsaspecten uiteengezet, waarbij ik u wil vragen deze te beoordelen op basis van de huidige focus en situatie en aan te geven naar welk niveau u toe wilt werken voor de toekomst uitgaande van de CSR doelen van uw organisatie.
Baumgartner en Ebner hebben een artikel geschreven over deze duurzaamheidsaspecten welke ik in bijlage 2 kort heb toegelicht.
Graag zou ik de vragenlijst uiterlijk vrijdag 10 mei aanstaande retour ontvangen via de email. Ik hou me ook graag aanbevolen indien u meer informatie kunt emailen aangaande het duurzaamheidsbeleid van uw
organisatie. Uw gegevens zullen vertrouwelijk worden behandeld en anoniem in het rapport worden verwerkt. Alvast heel erg bedankt voor alle medewerking en dan zie ik u graag maandag 13 mei aanstaande voor het interview.
Met vriendelijke groet, Lee Dorland
