Core Features

  • ESG Benchmarking & Peer Comparison: GRESB enables asset owners and managers to benchmark ESG performance against peers across real estate and infrastructure sectors.

  • Structured ESG Data Collection: The platform provides standardised questionnaires and data models to collect ESG information consistently across portfolios and asset classes.

  • Investor-Focused ESG Scoring: GRESB produces scores, rankings and performance bands widely used by institutional investors to assess ESG maturity and risk.

  • Portfolio-Level ESG Reporting: Users can consolidate ESG data across assets and funds to support investor reporting and disclosure requirements.

  • Materiality & Risk Indicators: GRESB assessments incorporate ESG risk factors relevant to real estate and infrastructure assets, including governance, resilience and environmental performance.

  • Trend & Performance Analysis: Historical results allow participants to track ESG performance trends over time and assess improvement trajectories.

Plans & Pricing

GRESB operates on a participation and subscription-based model.
Pricing depends on:

  • Asset class (real estate or infrastructure)

  • Portfolio size and number of assets

  • Participation in annual assessments

There is no modular SaaS pricing, as access is tied to assessment participation.

Integrations

GRESB supports:

  • Data uploads from internal ESG and asset management systems

  • Alignment with investor reporting workflows

It does not integrate operationally with ESG data platforms, IoT systems or carbon accounting tools.

Certifications & Awards

GRESB is globally recognised as the ESG benchmark standard for real estate and infrastructure investors. Its methodologies are widely referenced in investment policies and sustainability strategies.

Expert Voices & Reviews

GRESB is frequently cited by investors and asset managers as a critical ESG transparency mechanism, particularly for comparing ESG performance across funds and portfolios.

Customers & Case Studies

GRESB is used by:

  • Institutional investors

  • Real estate asset owners and managers

  • Infrastructure funds and operators

Use cases focus on investor disclosure, benchmarking and ESG performance signalling rather than operational improvement.

Closing Insights

From a Net Zero Compare perspective, GRESB should be positioned as an investor-grade ESG benchmark, not as an ESG management or data collection software. Its strength lies in comparability, credibility and market signalling, making it essential for organisations operating in real estate and infrastructure capital markets.

GRESB complements ESG data platforms like OneTrust or Vanta by providing the external benchmark layer that those tools do not offer.
