CONNECT WITH US

Achieving sustainability in the built environment is core to who we are. We're deeply committed to reducing our own environmental impact - and we help our real estate clients achieve this too.

Having recently become an official GRESB Program Partner, we are enhancing our ability to support clients with industry-leading ESG reporting, data benchmarking and score improvement strategies - turning ESG ambition into measurable, investor ready performance and value.

Whether you're at the beginning of your GRESB journey, or you're seeking support for specific part of the process, we are ready to support you. Our range of scalable, flexible solutions can help you navigate the reporting cycle with confidence, and achieve firmwide ESG strategies that align with market demands.

Drive greater GRESB-alignment

The financial advantages of ESG in the real estate market grow clearer by the day. Our mission is to link ESG to ROI and unlock the true value of sustainability in the built environment.

We have developed a GRESB-aligned framework to prioritise and deliver high-impact ESG investments across portfolios in five key areas:

Efficiency projects
Capital expenditure (CapEx) projects
Operational Expenditure (OpEx) projects
Strategic and financial ESG initiatives
ESG risk mitigation and compliance

Each of these investments types contributes to higher GRESB reporting scores, better asset performance and value, and stronger capital raising positioning.

What we can achieve

Future proof your portfolio

Portfolios that prioritise GRESB-aligned assets benefit from risk reduction, regulatory compliance, and enhanced returns. We can help you understand scoring methodologies, data management and validation processes, and ESG integration, so your portfolios can remain competitive and resilient.

Turn insights into investment success

Fund managers who embrace GRESB best practices can experience greater financial resilience and regulatory confidence. We can provide you with guidance to help drive asset values and maximise financial returns.

Streamline your reporting processes

The data collation, submission and assessment process is complex, but by finding efficiencies in your cycle management, achieving a higher GRESB score is within reach. We provide guidance and support for every cycle stage, so you can gather, validate, and submit accurate ESG data with confidence.

“The aims of GRESB are fully in line with our values to be a force for good that works with industry partners to create a more sustainable built environment.”
