Amsterdam, July TK – GRESB is proud to announce the release of its inaugural Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report, providing a clear, transparent view into how GRESB identifies, assesses, and manages climate-related risks and opportunities across its operations.
This report marks a significant step in GRESB’s journey to integrate climate considerations into every facet of our business. It strengthens our ability to lead by example, demonstrating alignment with the same rigorous standards of disclosure and accountability we advocate across the market.
“As stewards of the world’s leading sustainability benchmark for real assets, we recognize that our influence comes with profound responsibility,” said Sebastien Roussotte, CEO of GRESB. “This inaugural TCFD report marks not just a disclosure milestone, but a continuation of our longstanding commitment to practicing the same transparency and rigor we advocate for across the USD 9 trillion in assets we benchmark.”
The TCFD Report outlines GRESB’s approach across four core areas: climate governance, including Board- and Foundation-level oversight; strategy and scenario planning, focused on transition risks and net-zero readiness; risk management; and our climate measurement framework.
The report also underscores GRESB’s dual-impact philosophy: while continuing to reduce its own operational emissions, GRESB’s greatest climate leverage lies in enabling decarbonization across the built environment—where nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions originate.
With the release of this TCFD Report, GRESB reinforces its role in the climate transition—continuing to equip the financial sector with the tools, actionable data, and governance infrastructure it needs, while further aligning our own practices with the principles we have long advocated.
