Join us for the 2020 Results Events
We’re excited about how the 2020 Public Results Events are coming together. Held online this year, the events are an opportunity for us to gather as a community to discuss the current state of ESG reporting and performance in real assets, and to prepare for what’s ahead.
2020 has been a year of great change and disruption, and we’re designing the events to focus on the live topics and fast-emerging trends facing our industry. We’ll zoom out to the aggregate story, highlight important regional trends from the 2020 dataset and dialogue on pressing questions such as:
- How prepared is the industry for the upcoming EU regulations?
- What progress is being made across the world to meet net-zero targets?
- Do the ESG targets set by participants show an investment community in transition?
- How are social factors influencing the approach to sustainability and investment decisions?
- How can we best harness innovations in technology in service of more meaningful ESG data?
- How are new asset-level data flows helping the real estate industry manage climate risks for individual assets?
- What impact is covid-19 having on the industry’s commitment to sustainability?
- What will good progress look like for our industry in the years ahead?
- How can we leverage our collective efforts to address the key priorities?
Paving the right paths to a sustainable real estate and infrastructure sector needs industry wide-collaboration and coordination. So we hope you’ll join us for the 2020 Results Events and be part of the global dialogue that is driving the market forward.
New release date for the GRESB Real Estate Results: November 16
As a result of changes to the Real Estate Review Period, the final 2020 Real Estate results release has been rescheduled to November 16. We would like to thank everyone for the constructive feedback and suggestions to improve the Review Period.
See the timeline for the reopening of the Real Estate Review Period
This change to the results release date only impacts the Real Estate Assessment. We will release the 2020 Infrastructure Assessment results on November 1, according to the original timeline.
Please also see the embargo dates for public communications of 2020 GRESB Results, which are now different for real estate and infrastructure.
Thank you for your support and hope to see you online at our Results Events.
