GRESB

Over recent years, GRESB (the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) has emerged as one of the world-leading ESG assessment systems for asset management.

Founded by a group of property fund owners in 2009, GRESB B.V. simplifies access to comparison data on environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) in the real estate sector. Seven aspects are considered in investment decisions, including risk assessments, operator guidelines, building certifications, the implementation of monitoring concepts, performance (consumption) data and the stakeholder engagement of participants.

Results for your properties are compared against those of a ‘peer group’ of market competitors in the relevant asset class, with benchmarks dynamically adjusted on the basis of previous years’ results. A steadily upward trend for key indicators is therefore necessary to confirm a valuation in the following year. This is why we need to plan ahead in partnership.

Advantage of a GRESB assessment

• High acceptance, involvement of international market players.
• Ease of use thanks to intuitive interface and tables.
• Link to the arc tool used for the LEED O+M process, plus monitoring system for consumption data (digital interfaces).

Where there are gaps in the verification or the available data, we will be happy to help you achieve the best result.
