GRESB’s new Score Contribution feature is designed to provide in-depth insights into how individual assets contribute to GRESB Scores, allowing real estate participants to understand, engage, and act on asset-level performance like never before.
By offering a granular view of each asset’s impact, this tool empowers stakeholders to drive meaningful improvements, prioritize efforts, and enhance their overall sustainability performance.
Here are the three ways managers can use Score Contribution insights:
1. Understand the GRESB Score at the asset level
More than 40% of the GRESB Score is determined by actions taken, reported, and scored at the asset level. Managers can now break down their entities’ GRESB Scores to see how each individual asset has performed across all aspects, indicators, and sub-indicators. This detailed analysis helps users pinpoint the strongest and weakest performers within your portfolio. By understanding the exact role each asset plays, you can better identify patterns, strengths, and opportunities across a portfolio to make more informed improvements.

2. Engage stakeholders more effectively with granular insights
The key outcome of the annual GRESB Real Estate Assessment is an entity-level GRESB Score that evaluates the performance of the entire portfolio. These portfolio-level scores serve as a vital tool for engagement between GRESB Participants and Investor Members. With Score Contribution, GRESB Participants gain more granular insights at the asset level that can be used during stakeholder engagement. This enables managers to not only answer investor queries with greater precision but also foster more meaningful engagement with asset managers by highlighting the performance and contribution of each asset.

3. Take action where it matters most

One of the most valuable features of the Score Contribution dashboard is its ability to help prioritize actions. By identifying which assets have the greatest impact on your GRESB Score, you can direct resources where they will make the biggest impact. This data-driven approach ensures that your sustainability efforts are both effective and efficient, maximizing your return on investment and reinforcing your commitment to sustainable real assets.
With the introduction of Score Contribution, GRESB continues to provide innovative solutions for managers to drive efficiency and create more sustainable portfolio. This new functionality reflects our commitment to empowering users with the tools they need to make informed decisions and achieve outstanding results.
