GRESB data is used by hundreds of capital providers and thousands of asset managers to benchmark investments across portfolios and understand the opportunities, risks and choices that need to be made as the industry transitions to a more sustainable future.

Your efforts continue to shape the future of sustainability leadership and play a critical role in driving the transition towards sustainable real assets.” – Sander Paul van Tongeren, Co-Founder and Managing Director at GRESB on Sector Leaders and Most Improved.
