Score Contribution Tool

Score Contribution is a feature that gives Real Estate Participants deeper insights into how individual assets contribute to their overall GRESB Score.

It helps managers identify key areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to enhance portfolio performance.

Users can use the private dashboard to track and explore assets at an aggregated level and across key performance metrics, to see which are helping or hurting their overall score.

• Asset-level insights: Understand how each asset impacts your portfolio’s overall score

• Targeted action: Identify the best opportunities to make performance improvements

• Enhanced stakeholder engagement: Use detailed scoring data to drive conversations with internal and external stakeholders

The Score Contribution dashboard is available to real estate entities completing the Performance Component of the GRESB Real Estate Assessment.

Access to the dashboard is included in the GRESB membership and provides valuable insights into asset-level performance.

Users linked to the entity with the access rights of Account Manager, Internal Contributor, or Investor Relations Manager can see the Score Contribution dashboard.

The asset weight reflects how much an individual asset’s score influences the overall portfolio score for each indicator. It combines two factors:

1. The % GAV of the country/property sub-type the asset belongs to.

2. The asset’s share of floor area within that same country/property sub-type, adjusted for ownership.

An asset’s weight increases if it sits in a larger GAV segment of the portfolio and/or represents a larger proportion of owned floor area within that segment.

For indicators where not all assets are eligible, such as Energy Performance, GHG Like-for-Like, and Water Like-for-Like, the calculation only considers the total floor area of eligible assets.

The formula is:

• Asset Weight = (% GAV of country/property sub-type) × [(Asset floor area × Asset ownership) ÷ (Total owned floor area of all assets in that country/property sub-type)]

Score Contribution to Entity reflects how much each asset’s score contributes to the overall portfolio score.

GRESB calculates it by multiplying each Asset Score by the Asset Weight.

Potential indicates the remaining points each asset could achieve, highlighting opportunities for improvement.

GRESB calculates it as the difference between the maximum score available for a given indicator and the asset’s actual score.

The dashboard presents insights based on data submitted as part of the GRESB Real Estate Assessment. GRESB is exploring options to provide similar insights based on the live (non-submitted) data available in the Asset Portal.

The difference between the Score Contribution dashboard and the Benchmark Report lies in the level of granularity of the insights presented.

The Score Contribution dashboard focuses on providing asset-level scoring insights, while the Benchmark Report presents GRESB results at the portfolio level. Both tools present insights based on the same underlying reported data and scoring methodology.

Score Contribution insights focus on how individual assets impact your overall portfolio’s GRESB Score, in the aggregate and across key performance metrics. In contrast, REAL Benchmarks insights help you understand how assets within your portfolio perform relative to industry peers, decarbonization pathways, and your other assets.

Score Contribution and REAL Benchmarks work together to provide a complete picture of your portfolio’s performance. While Score Contribution gives insights into how each asset within your own portfolio contributes to your GRESB Score, REAL Benchmarks offers a market-wide comparison, allowing you to assess how your portfolio measures up against peers and which of your assets are under- or overperforming. Using both tools enables more informed decision-making and targeted improvements.
