Does the entity monitor its contractors’ track of human capital?

Assessment Instructions

Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?

This indicator identifies the metrics used by the entity to monitor human capital at the contractor level.

Input: How do I complete this indicator?

Select Yes or No: If selecting 'Yes', select all applicable checkbox(es).

Measurement: The percentages of all contractors should be based on Full Time Equivalents (FTE) or headcount. Answers should be applicable at the entity, operator and/or manager level.

Exceptions

Select Yes or No: GRESB is seeking to standardize the scope and boundaries of reporting to allow for more accurate benchmarking and to progressively move towards scoring of performance. If the scope of the data reported for this indicator does not exactly match the reporting scope (facilities, and time period) as reported in “Entity and Reporting Characteristics” (EC4, RC3), then answer ‘No’ to this question and describe these exceptions in the “Exceptions” text box.

Terminology

Age group distribution

Percentage of a population, at each age.

Gender pay gap

Percentage difference of average hourly earnings between men and women.

Gender ratio

Proportion of one gender to another in a given population.

International background

The breakdown of nationalities within an organization's workforce. GRESB primarily considers nationality to refer to an individual’s country of origin.

Socioeconomic background

Combined measure of the sociological and economic background of a person. Examples of relevant metrics include, but are not limited to, income, education, employment, community safety, and social support.

Validation: What evidence is required?

Evidence not required.

Scoring

Scoring: How does GRESB score this indicator?

The scoring of this indicator is equal to the fraction assigned to the selected option, multiplied by the total score of the indicator.

Materiality-based scoring

The relevance of the 'Human capital' issue (determined by the GRESB Materiality Assessment (RC6)) defines the materiality weighting of this indicator.

The weighting is set at one of four levels:

• No relevance (weighting:0)

• Low relevance (weighting:0)

• Medium relevance (weighting:1)

• High relevance (weighting:2)

Where an issue is of 'No relevance' or ‘Low relevance’ the indicator is not considered in scoring (i.e. it has a weighting of 0%). If an issue is of 'Medium relevance' the indicator counts towards the score with ‘standard’ weighting. If an issue is of 'High relevance' the indicator counts towards the score with higher than ‘standard’ weighting.

As a result, the weight of this indicator may differ for each participant based on their materiality profile. The weighting of the material (scored) indicators is automatically redistributed to ensure that a project’s sustainability evaluation is reflective of its unique circumstances.
