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.
