Become a GRESB Partner
The GRESB Partner program is building a global network of highly capable sustainability consultants and solution providers who can assist participants to efficiently complete their Assessments, manage their ESG data and advance their performance. A subset of partners, known as GRESB Data Partners, help GRESB participants report asset data to the GRESB Asset Portal via the Asset Spreadsheet or GRESB API.
As a GRESB Partner, you are aligning your organization with the ESG benchmark for real assets and gaining access to the growing GRESB network. The participation rates for the GRESB Real Estate and Infrastructure Assessments are increasing rapidly as more companies and fund managers seek to manage material ESG risks, enrich their investor dialogue and improve their ESG performance.
The benefits of being a GRESB Partner
Visibility to the
GRESB network
The most important benefit for Partners is visibility to our participants and members, which contributes to branding. We promote Partners across all our Assessments and in our products, including the Benchmark Report, Results Snapshots and Assessment Guidance.
Networking and
relationship building
Partners have access to preferential networking and relationship building opportunities through our events and trainings and via client case studies and educational articles on GRESB Insights. It’s a way for you to stand out as a top-tier expert and promote your sustainability solutions to the GRESB network.
Staying at the leading edge of
ESG developments
You’ll receive exclusive partner updates and have the opportunity to participate in Industry Working Groups and Advisory Groups to inform the development of the Assessments. Global and Premier Partners also have access to the GRESB API program linking the GRESB Portal to asset-level data collection tools.
You can become a Real Estate or Infrastructure Partner, or a Partner for both sectors. Partnership is available at three levels – Global Partner, Premier Partner and Partner – as set out in the table below:
