We are pleased to announce that the 2018 GRESB results are now available. We have opened the Portal and contacted all participants and GRESB Investor Members. We have also reached out to the Sector Leaders to congratulate them on their performance.
Once again, our market coverage has grown for the Real Estate and Infrastructure Assessments, underlining our position as the global ESG benchmark for the sector.
Real Estate Assessment Response Rate
This year 903 property companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), funds, and developers participated in the Real Estate Assessment, an increase of 6% on the previous year. The Assessment now covers more than 79,000 assets (of which more than 49,000 reported at the asset level) across 64 countries and represents over USD 3.6 trillion in gross asset value.
To add some market context to those numbers, the listed real estate dataset includes 75 of the top 100 largest REITs by market cap and, on the non-listed side, 75 of IPE’s Top 100 Real Estate Investment Managers (participating with at least one fund). Adding our Public Disclosure Dataset, the data has full coverage of the major developed listed real estate indices.
