Description
GRESB (formerly know as the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) assesses and benchmarks the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance of real assets, providing standardised and validated data to the capital markets.
Founded in the Netherlands in 2009, GRESB helps real estate investors assess the sustainability performance of commercial real estate portfolios around the globe. How do they go about it? They ask! Every year, GRESB issues a survey asking about things like energy and water usage as well as waste and carbon output. They’re also interested in things like how well you treat and train your employees, if you’ve been sued for corruption, and dozens of other “material indicators.”
