  • Each author is responsible for the accuracy of the content and accompanying images provided and confirms that the content and images do not infringe upon the rights, including any copyright rights, of any person or entity.
  • We prefer to receive unique content so please let us know if the article has been published elsewhere.
  • Submissions may use GRESB data to discuss, frame, or support the content of the article. However, we ask that articles do not focus solely on GRESB and instead emphasize the expertise and point of view of the submitter.
