Attract and engage investors with ESG benchmarks

Responsible investing is now mainstream, and many institutional investors expect asset managers to integrate sustainability criteria into their business. This means collecting reliable data and reporting on environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance in a way that is transparent and comparable to other investments.

GRESB can help you to:

  • Engage investors who use ESG data.
    GRESB gives you a platform to communicate with investors on sustainability topics.
  • Peer benchmark your performance.
    See if your ESG strategies are effective and find areas for continued improvement.
  • Identify risks and opportunities.
    Prepare for climate-related financial risks and uncover sustainability-related opportunities.
  • Standardize your ESG data collection.
    With new financial disclosures and emerging regulations on the horizon, it’s important to align reporting with international frameworks.

Equipping asset managers with data and insights

GRESB assesses and benchmarks the ESG performance of global assets, providing actionable data and insights for financial markets.

Fund managers, companies and asset operators who become GRESB Members report on key indicators that investors consider materially relevant. This data is validated, scored and then peer benchmarked to generate high-quality data and ESG insights.

More than 140 institutional investors with $47 trillion in assets under management use GRESB to monitor ESG progress within their portfolios. Investors can also request access to data from other asset managers that they are interested in. Managers participating in GRESB Assessments for the first time have a “grace period,” in which they can keep results confidential for the first year, if desired.
