Investors, managers and GRESB

As an industry-led organization, GRESB designed its reports and tools to make ESG engagement between investors and asset managers as productive as possible. Managers and asset operators self-report data in a standardized format to the GRESB Portal, where it is validated, scored and benchmarked against industry peers. Investors can request access to the entities within their portfolios as well as any other GRESB Participant. This relationship provides a consistent, globally recognized framework to measure and act on ESG performance. Learn more about how GRESB works.

By the industry, for the industry

Established by small group of investors in 2009, GRESB is now used by 150 institutional and financial investors to monitor investments, engage with managers and make informed decisions.

Today, the portfolios of more than 2,000 real estate companies, REITs, funds and developers – and more than 800 infrastructure funds and asset operators – participate in GRESB Assessments. This broad market coverage provides investors with ESG data and benchmarks for more than $8.8 trillion worth of assets under management.
