California is setting the standard.
We’ll help you keep up.

California’s climate disclosure laws are already in effect, and the built environment is squarely in scope. Greenplaces will be at the California Green Building Conference to show architects, developers, engineers, and real estate executives how to turn sustainability reporting from a regulatory obligation into a genuine business advantage.

We’ll be at California Green Building Conference 2026 to show you what’s possible.

Dates
May 27–28, 2026

Location
UC Berkeley, MLK Jr. Building

Why we’re there

The built environment has a California-shaped compliance challenge

California is moving faster on climate disclosure than anywhere else in the country. SB 253 and SB 261 require large companies doing business in the state to publicly disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and climate-related financial risks — with enforcement already underway. For real estate firms, construction companies, architecture and engineering practices, and developers, this isn’t a distant deadline. It’s now.

Greenplaces is purpose-built to help built environment companies navigate this landscape. We combine carbon accounting expertise with hands-on reporting execution, and as official GRESB assessment partners, we support real estate portfolios through the full GRESB Real Estate Assessment cycle — from data collection to final submission.

California law

SB 253

Requires companies with over $1 billion in annual revenue doing business in California to publicly disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions annually.

California law

SB 261

Requires companies with over $500 million in revenue doing business in California to disclose climate-related financial risks and their mitigation strategies every two years.

Framework

GRESB

The global ESG benchmark for real estate and infrastructure. As official GRESB assessment partners, Greenplaces provides end-to-end support for the annual Real Estate Assessment.

Meet California’s disclosure requirements

Whether SB 253 or SB 261 applies to your organization today, our sustainability reporting software gives you the infrastructure to collect, verify, and disclose emissions data — and satisfy auditors, investors, and regulators with documentation that holds up.

Benchmark and improve your GRESB score

GRESB scores increasingly influence capital allocation decisions in real estate. Greenplaces helps portfolio managers and asset owners collect the energy, water, waste, and carbon data the assessment requires — and identify the operational improvements that move the needle year over year.

Build investor-ready ESG reporting

From developers seeking green financing to architecture firms responding to enterprise RFPs, credible ESG reporting is now a business requirement. Our platform structures your sustainability data for TCFD, CDP, ISSB, and CSRD reporting, so you’re ready for any disclosure format your stakeholders ask for.
