The survey takes only two minutes to complete and is open to all GRESB members.

Building on the Global Results, the GRESB Regional Insights 2025 events series will translate the same fundamentals—clarity, resilience, and operational efficiency—into market-specific takeaways. Each in-person event will unpack the signals behind the scores for your region, highlighting what the GRESB Benchmark indicates about local risk pressures, operational improvement momentum, and how investors in your market are responding.

Co-hosted with GRESB Partners across 30+ cities worldwide, these events will pair data briefings with practical, real-world examples—so you can benchmark locally, compare peers, and turn insights into next steps for 2026 planning.

Foundation Roundtables

The Foundation continues to host roundtables around the world focused on priority topics highlighted in the Foundation Roadmap. Several members of the Foundation hosted several roundtables in New York City and Toronto surrounding Regional Insights events to discuss the Foundation’s Road to Performance, as well as investments in resilient real assets. The Foundation will continue to host regional roundtables around the world, so please please reach out to [email protected] to learn more about the events in your local region.

GRESB and MIPIM launched a five-minute global sentiment survey to understand how the real estate industry is evolving its approach to sustainability.

While the term “ESG” may be fading, the fundamentals of value creation, risk management, and long-term resilience remain central. The survey examines how organizations are translating these principles into action—and whether the industry is staying on course toward the goals that ESG was meant to drive.

All responses are confidential, with results to be shared later this year and featured at MIPIM 2026.
