Sign into the GRESB Portal and navigate to the SFDR Assessment section.
(For organizations that have never participated in a GRESB Assessment, you can create a new account in the GRESB Portal and select either the “Real Estate” or “Infrastructure” Assessment. If you want to speak with us first, reach out.)
-
Navigate to an existing entity (or create a new one) and select ‘SFDR Assessment’ and choose your ‘intention to submit’ to help keep track of your progress. You will then be redirected to the Assessments page, where you click on ‘Start Assessment’ in the SFDR section.
-
Now you can begin adding information to the assessment, using the guidance found in the header of each indicator. This guidance is also provided in the SFDR Assessment Reference Guide, available under Step 1 above.
-
Before submitting, make sure to upload, update, or review your asset-level data for real estate and the status of your connections to assets for infrastructure. Check the ‘review page’ for potential messages and to select a version with estimated or non-estimated data (only for real estate).
-
Submit the assessment. Please note that you will only be able to submit if you have completed an addendum (existing participants) or a participation agreement (new participants). Additionally, only entities linked to a participant member account will be able to submit. If you are unsure about your status, you can reach out to us and you will be directed to a member relations representative.
Around two weeks after submission, you will receive an email confirmation that your report is ready. Once your report is available, review the information and amend your data if needed.
