Background
Ilya Zavaleev, a civil engineer by training, began his career at EY, where he worked as a consultant on the construction of large commercial real estate, industrial and infrastructure projects.
In 2013, he became the head of the Department of Sustainable Development and Certification at the Skolkovo Innovation Center. His task was to implement a policy of sustainable development, energy efficiency and international certification in the development of the city, which is positioned as a smart and sustainable city of innovation in Russia.
The successful experience of implementing LEED and BREEAM standards in Skolkovo led to the opening of the independent HPBS company in 2015, whose mission is to create a sustainable environment for people, nature and business.
HPBS's latest achievement is obtaining the LEED v4 Platinum certificate for the Loreal plant in Russia.
