Introduction to GRESB

The Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) is an investor-oriented selection organization established in 2009, dedicated to evaluating the environmental, social and governance performance (ESG performance) of the global real estate industry. The evaluation indicators not only provide a complete ESG strategic framework for real estate-related companies, but also cooperate with the industry to provide standardized and verified ESG data for the capital market, so that investors can clearly understand the investment and achievements of various companies in sustainable development.

At present, there are more than 1,000 entities participating in the GRESB. Participants of GRESB include real estate companies, developers, funds and REITs (real estate investment trust funds), and more than 120 investment institutions use their data to monitor investment performance and make decisions in accordance with.

GRESB's rating methodology is consistent across regions, investment vehicles, and property types, and is aligned with international reporting frameworks such as: TCFD (Climate-Related Financial Disclosure), GRI (GRI Sustainability Reporting Principles) and PRI (Responsibility Investment Principles), which will be of great help to real estate-related companies in raising funds in the future and attracting investment from domestic and foreign funds.
