ESG data to inform your engagement
As an Investor Member, you can access data and analytics for your investments. You can view individual Benchmark Reports, analyze your portfolio in flexible ways, and export the data for additional analysis.
Benchmark Report
The Benchmark Report contains an indicator-level analysis of the ESG performance of your investments in both absolute terms and relative to peers. It is designed to identify areas of opportunity and risk in your portfolio and deepen your engagement with managers on sustainability issues.
Portfolio Analysis Tool
Using the Portfolio Analysis Tool, you can perform a portfolio analysis for self-selected groups of your investments, including applying weights and customized benchmarks. The tool provides insight into how each investment contributes to the portfolio’s aggregated ESG performance. It also provides a combined environmental footprint of the investment portfolio.
Data Exporter
The Data Exporter provides access to all data points in the Assessments. The datasets are available for download in .csv and .xlsx format so that you can integrate the data more easily with your existing portfolio management systems and use in your own modeling.
Carbon Footprint Dashboard
The Carbon Footprint Dashboard is an interactive tool that empowers real estate investors to explore and better understand the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of their GRESB real estate portfolios.
