The GRESB Board of Directors
The GRESB Board of Directors oversees GRESB’s governance. It includes one executive director (the managing director of GRESB) and six non-executive directors. The managing director oversees GRESB’s day-to-day business. The non-executive directors oversee GRESB’s strategic direction. Three of the non-executive directors are representatives of GRESB’s Investor Members.
The Board tenure is three years, with a second tenure of a maximum of three years. The aim of the rotation schedule and the selection of candidates is to ensure that the Board has a good representation of GRESB’s members (by region/sector), can provide a global perspective and is able to support GRESB in its strategy. The executive director (GRESB’s managing director) and the chairman (GBCI representative) are excluded from the rotation schedule.
