Principles for Governing Standards Development

The GRESB Foundation has published the Principles for Governing the Standards Development Process, offering greater transparency into how the GRESB Standards are managed and improved over time.

Led by a Foundation Board composed of representatives from GRESB Members and Partners, the Foundation oversees the evolution of the GRESB Standards, which includes setting, improving, reviewing, and approving the Standards on an annual basis. These principles guide the Foundation’s approach to implementing annual, incremental updates, balancing the need for progress with the importance of stability and predictability.

Developed by the Change Management Working Group, the principles mark a key step in formalizing and communicating how the Standards evolve.

Read more about the principles here and stay tuned for an upcoming podcast exploring why these principles matter for the future of GRESB Standards.
