Capitalising on significant in-house experience, Mainstream implements the Global Development Standard (GDS) which is a comprehensive renewable project execution process used by all Mainstream employees. The GDS standardises all renewable project execution procedures to ensure consistency across markets, regardless of the local requirements.
