Introduction
User Instructions
Create a New Analysis
Select the year you wish to analyze and click “Create a new [year] Infrastructure Fund* or Asset** analysis.” You can also access an existing analysis by clicking on its name.
Note that the GRESB Assessments always assess the sustainability performance of reporting entities for the previous calendar/fiscal year. For example, the 2026 Infrastructure Fund/Asset Assessment and calendar/fiscal year 2025.
*For Funds, the Scope of Analysis (Step 1) consists of Management and Performance component entities or Management Component only entities. It is not possible to have a mix.
*For Assets, the Scope of Analysis is limited to those that completed both Management and Performance components. Hence, no initial selection between components is available.
For more information on the content covered by each Component, please see the Fund and Asset Assessment webpage.
The steps below apply to both Funds and Assets (note that the step order may change due to the above reasons, see * and **).
Define the Portfolio
Define the portfolio by selecting the entity or entities you wish to include in the analysis.
There are two ways to select entities: manual selection or import.
Manual Selection
Users can manually select entities from the list of all accessible entities. The search function or the “Filter” button can be used to narrow down the list of managers and participating entities. The “Filter” button allows sorting by:
Location: GRESB assigns participating entities to a geographic category using a five-tier system: country, sub-region, region, super-region, and global. The threshold for assigning a geographic category is set at 60 percent of the predominant location of the Fund or Asset. The country, subregion, and region are defined using the UN country classification guidelines available here.
Sector: Selecting a sector will include entities that have the selection as their predominant sector (75 percent or more). For Funds, only one tier is applicable. For Assets, three tiers, from least to most granular, can be selected.
Legal status: Differentiate between listed and non-listed reporting entities. A listed entity refers to a company that is publicly listed and traded on a recognized stock exchange, such as Nasdaq or NYSE. A private entity is not listed or traded on any stock exchange.
For each filter category, it is possible to select multiple options. Once users apply the filters, they can select entities that should be included in the analysis.
After selecting the entities, users can assign different weights. This will result in weighted average scores in the analysis of the aggregated portfolio.
GAV weighted: each entity included in the analysis receives a weighting proportional to the Gross Asset Value (GAV) of its portfolio. Please note that for the entities selected, the percentage of ownership field will be pre-populated with 100 %. To change this, you can amend the value directly or use the below custom-weight option.
Equally weighted: each entity included in the analysis receives the same weighting.
Custom weighted: the user can manually amend the percentage values in the Weight column of the Portfolio selection. This allows users to input their percentage ownership of an entity.
Import Entities
Alternatively, users can “Import Entities” to assign custom weights to the selected entities. This allows you to paste:
The Fund ID of the entities you wish to include in the analysis.
Percentage of ownership of each entity
To do this, copy from an Excel file the Fund IDs (in column 1) and the attached percentage of ownership (column 2) on each entity to be included in the analysis. The Fund ID and the corresponding percentage of ownership of each entity should be pasted into the “paste columns here” textbox.
The weighting follows the same method as the above-described Custom weighted approach.
How to find the Fund IDs?
The GRESB-specific Fund IDs can be found in the Data Exporter. Users can access the Data Exporter via the GRESB Portal under the menu “Data Exports.” Any downloads from the Data Exporter have Fund ID as the third column.
The Fund ID is also the first number that appears in the URL after "entities/" when users click on any of your entities in the GRESB Portal.
It is always possible to clear selected entities using the “Clear Selection” button. Users can ensure that the selection is effectively cleared by reviewing entities listed under “YOUR PORTFOLIO”.
Set Benchmark Criteria
Set the benchmark criteria you are using for the analysis. To ensure a meaningful comparison, the Benchmark should contain a minimum of six constituents.
Filters can be used to define the benchmark. If no filters are applied, the selected Portfolio will be compared against the entire GRESB universe.
The available filters are:
Location: See Step 1 above
Sector: See Step 1 above
Legal status: See Step 1 above
Entity: Users can manually select specific entities to be included in the Benchmark. This is only possible for entities you have access to (see User and access rights above). Note that if any entity is manually selected, other filters will be ignored.
Finally, select the Benchmark weights (see Step 1).
GRESB recommends selecting the same weighting option for both the Portfolio and the Benchmark.
Once the Benchmark is defined, click NEXT STEP to access your analysis.
If you have any questions on how to interpret the results of your analysis, please feel free to contact us.
