Marketing Resources for GRESB Members

Each year we are excited to recognize and celebrate GRESB Participants from across the world who have inspired us with their leadership and commitment. We publicly highlight managers and companies with 5 Star rated entities together with Infrastructure Fund Managers who achieve a GRESB Score.

GRESB Rating

The GRESB Rating is based on the GRESB Score and the quintile position an entity occupies relative to all entities participating in the GRESB Assessment. If an entity is placed in the top quintile, it is recognized as a GRESB 5 Star rated entity. Each year, 20% of entities receive a GRESB 5 Star rating.

In 2025, we will continue to publicly recognize the achievement of a 5 Star rating in the Assessment participation directory. In the case of listed companies and non-listed infrastructure assets, we will disclose the name of the company with a 5 Star rating. In the case of non-listed real estate entities and infrastructure funds, we will disclose the name of the fund manager together with how many of their entities have a 5 star rating.

 

GRESB Sector Leaders

The GRESB Sector Leaders are the best performers by sector, region and nature of ownership from across the GRESB Assessments. This year we will continue to recognize the entity with the top GRESB Score and all those with a score within 1 point of the top score for each category.

You may use the GRESB Sector Leader logos and email signatures in your communications. Please note that the logo may only be used to identify Sector Leaders.

  • Download the Real Estate Sector Leader logos and email signatures below.

    You can find logos for previous years below:

    2024 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo

    2024 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo (white)

    2023 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo, 2023 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo (white)

    2022 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo, 2022 Real Estate Sector Leader Logo (white)

    The entity with the top GRESB Score, as well as the entities with a score within 1 point of the top score in a category will be recognized as Sector Leaders.

    • Categories are unique combinations of sector, region and nature of ownership. Each category requires a minimum of six entities.
    • Sector Leaders are determined for each region (Regional Sector Leaders) and globally (Global Sector Leaders), taking legal status into account.
    • It is possible for the same entity to be recognized as both a Regional Sector Leader and a Global Sector Leader.
    • Within each region, we need a minimum of six listed and six non-listed entities in order to assign Sector Leaders, both for the Listed and Non-listed category. If we do not have six entities in one of the categories, we do not assign a Sector Leader for that category. We assign a Sector Leader for the combined category within each region. If we do not have six entities for the combined category, we do not assign any Sector Leader for that region.

    Example: If the top score in Office, Americas, Listed is 96.0000, all entities with a score above 95.0000 will be recognized as Sector Leaders in this category. If the second highest score registered in this category is 94.9999, GRESB will only recognize one Sector Leader – the entity with a score of 96.0000. For the purposes of this analysis, GRESB will use scores rounded to the fourth decimal.

  • Download the Infrastructure Sector Leader logos and email signatures below.

    You can find logos for previous years below:

     

    2024 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo

    2024 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo (white)

    2023 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo, 2023 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo (white)

    2022 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo, 2022 Infrastructure Sector Leader Logo (white)

    The entity with the top GRESB Score, as well as the entities with a score within 1 point of the top score in a category will be recognized as Sector Leaders

    For Infrastructure Funds, categories are unique sectors at either the Region or Sector level (using the TICCS classification). Each category requires a minimum of six entities at the Sector level.

    For Infrastructure Assets, categories are unique sectors at either the Industrial-group (Superclass) or Sector level (using the TICCS classification). Each category requires a minimum of 12 entities at the Sector level or six entities at the Industrial-group (Superclass) level. For sectors where there are fewer than six entities at the Industrial-group (Superclass) level, these entities will be bundled into an ‘Other’ group so every entity has an opportunity to be a Sector Leader.

Infrastructure Managers with a GRESB Score

The GRESB Score – Infrastructure Fund/Asset is a clear recognition of the ESG coverage of their portfolio.  This is because it is only available to Infrastructure Fund Managers with more than 25% of their underlying assets completing the Infrastructure Asset Assessment.

In 2025, we will continue to publicly recognize Infrastructure Fund Managers that receive GRESB Scores. The listing will include the name of the fund manager together with the number of their participating funds that received a GRESB Score.

You may use the GRESB Score – Infrastructure Fund logo and email signature in your communications. Please note that the logo may only be used to identify Infrastructure Fund Managers that have achieved a GRESB Score – meaning more than 25% of their underlying assets completed the Infrastructure Asset Assessment.

GRESB Real Estate Public Disclosure badge

The GRESB Real Estate Public Disclosure badge recognizes listed real estate companies.

You may use the GRESB Public Disclosure badge in your communications. Please note that the badge may only be used to identify Public Disclosure participants.

Public Communications

We will notify managers who have received recognitions (GRESB Sector Leaders, GRESB 5 Star Rated, and Infrastructure Fund Managers with a GRESB Score) when the public results are released in October. The listings will then be included on the public website, in press releases, and shared with media partners. There will be no embargo date this year, as such participants can choose to publicly communicate their final GRESB results, should they wish to do so, once they receive their final Benchmark Report in early October.

Like in previous years, we will be providing helpful marketing resources, including logos, press release templates and quotes from GRESB’s CEO, for members to use in public communications. The marketing resources page will be updated throughout September as resources become available.

Communicating about peer groups

In 2023, GRESB introduced a test version of its “Customized Peer Group” functionality for real estate entities, which is now included as part of the annual Assessment cycle. While participants are welcome to share this customized ranking with investors outside of the GRESB Portal, we recommend that participants still use their official peer group designation found on their Benchmark Report in any public communication.

It is important to note that when any relative ranking is communicated based on a customized selection, it should be clearly indicated that the ranking was created using the Customized Peer Group functionality.

Additionally, when communicating about peer groups in public communication, it is important to accurately reflect the group’s selection criteria to avoid confusion. Because peer group names are long, we recommend referencing the full peer group name once in any piece of communication and using shorthand in other instances. Alternatively, you can use general language if it does not misrepresent the nature or scope of the peer group.
