Founded in 2009, GRESB is now the leading global benchmark for providing validated ESG performance of real estate and infrastructure portfolios. Recognised and trusted by the asset investment community, its standardised framework can be used to measure and compare assets to make investment decisions.

Annual real estate and infrastructure assessments reported through GRESB can help fund managers to evaluate their portfolio performance relative to peers - but it can also be a powerful platform to achieve more.

From compliance to competition

The imperative to improve your GRESB score is not just about better reporting - it's about signalling quality to investors, protecting value, attracting capital, and building long-term resilience. In a financial investment market where ESG is fast-becoming the main filter, a high GRESB score can transform from a box-ticking compliance exercise into a strategic investment advantage to stand out in the market.

Four reasons why GRESB benchmarking matters

1. Demonstrate leadership

High-performing GRESB metrics can be a signal of leadership to investors. A high score can reflect strong governance, responsibility, and social impact - setting your portfolio apart in a competitive marketplace.

2. Demonstrate performance

A strong GRESB score can signal to investors that your ESG practices are credible, accountable and externally validated. Tangible evidence can provide a competitive edge with investors, regulators and tenants.

3. Influence capital allocation

Investors are moving way from assets with poor ESG credentials and low transparency. Portfolios with strong GRESB performance increasingly attract more capital and achieve higher valuations.

4. Futureproof your portfolio

GRESB reporting can drive long-term strategic planning. Data analysis can help to identify portfolio hotspots which can help to prioritise capex and opex decision and maintain focus on developing asset value.
