Benchmark your ESG Performance,

and Engage with Investors

Participate in the GRESB Assessments

GRESB assesses and benchmarks the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance of real assets, providing standardized and validated data to the capital markets.

GRESB Assessments are guided by what investors and the industry consider to be material issues in the sustainability performance of real asset investments, and are aligned with international reporting frameworks.

By participating, you’ll have access to high-quality ESG data and powerful analytical tools to benchmark your ESG performance, identify areas for improvement and engage with your investors.

We recognize all participants completing the GRESB Assessments as Participant Members.

What you get from your participation

GRESB Scorecard

Provides you with an individual GRESB score, a breakdown of your ESG performance and an analysis of how your performance compares to your peers.

Benchmark Report

Gives an in-depth analysis of your sustainability performance and a detailed indicator-level comparison with peers. The report allows you to compare your performance to your peer group, identify issues and opportunities, and to make business decisions. Learn more.

Portfolio Analysis Tool
