The GRESB real estate assessment

GRESB (formerly the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) is the leading global ESG benchmark for real estate and infrastructure investors, managers, and operators.

The GRESB Real Estate Assessment evaluates the sustainability performance of real estate portfolios and development activities, translating ESG practices and asset-level data into a standardized, validated benchmark used in investment decision-making.

GRESB performance matters

GRESB is widely used by institutional investors, limited partners, lenders, and rating agencies to assess:

  • ESG risk exposure across real estate portfolios

  • Management maturity and governance practices

  • Asset-level performance trends and data coverage

  • Year-over-year improvement and credibility of reporting

GRESB scoring and timelines

GRESB scores range from 0 to 100 and are benchmarked relative to peer groups. Results are translated into a 1- to 5-star GRESB rating.

Scoring combines:

  • Evidence-validated, policy- and management-based indicators
  • Relative, asset-level performance benchmarking across energy, emissions, water, and waste

Key dates:

  • Portal opens: April 1
  • Submission deadline: July 1
  • Preliminary results: September 1
  • Final results: October 1

For many organizations, especially first-time submitters or growing portfolios, execution risk is highest during asset data compilation, coverage logic, and quality assurance.

Common GRESB challenges we solve

From bridging the gap between your existing practices and the new standards, to building a certification-ready foundation that scales, we’ve got you covered.

GRESB has become increasingly data- and asset-intensive, with performance scores driving outcomes.

Teams often struggle with:

  • Managing asset-level spreadsheets and coverage logic at scale
  • Meeting rising expectations for data quality, comparability, and evidence
  • Interpreting Performance math and scoring mechanics
  • Resourcing internal teams to support collection, QA, and submission
  • Reducing risk for first-time submissions or rapidly growing portfolios

Without specialized support, these challenges can materially impact scores and investor perception.

A different approach to GRESB support

Greenplaces delivers true white-glove GRESB support designed for execution, not theory. As a certified Real Estate Assessment partner, we offer advisory and we take ownership of the work.

Our delivery model includes:

  • Carbon accountants who own asset-level data, calculations, and QA over the performance component

  • Reporting leads who manage management component narrative responses and portal data entry

  • Hands-on support during both the GRESB submission and the improvement planning off cycle

Beyond GRESB: supporting broader investor ESG needs

For many organizations, GRESB is part of a broader ESG and climate reporting ecosystem. Greenplaces also supports adjacent investor-driven requirements, including:

  • Carbon accounting and assured GHG inventories

  • Physical and transition climate risk assessments

  • Net-zero target setting and decarbonization planning

  • Reporting for frameworks such as CDP, SFDR, ISSB, and lender ESG requests
