Desirable
The international community has set a target for net zero emissions by 2050, but to make that happen, businesses need reliable data on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. GRESB was founded in 2009 to provide ESG data on business assets based on self-reported data, and has since become regarded as the gold standard for investment managers to assess their ESG performance.
GRESB is the only ESG framework designed for real estate, but some users have expressed dissatisfaction with some aspects of its framework - for example, that it favours new builds over retrofitting older buildings, with companies operating in Asia (where buildings tend to be newer) achieving higher ESG ratings. As a result, it faces some competition from ESG management software packages like Rio, but GRESB has taken note of these complaints and is working to tighten its methodology to adapt.
GRESB has had over a decade of growth and now covers over $8 trillion in assets, more than doubling since 2019. It is continuing to develop its ESG model, through actions such as acquiring companies like Asset Resolution which have developed tools for acquiring data from hard-to-measure sectors. A recent investment from General Atlantic's BeyondNetZero fund will allow GRESB to expand its work on transition finance, fixed income, the REAL Solutions family of services, and more.
