Sustainability
GRESB Real Estate Assessment
GRESB is an annual benchmarking assessment to measure ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) integration of real estate companies and funds, as well as the name of organization which runs the assessment. It was founded in 2009 by a group of major European pension funds who played leading roles in launching Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). This assessment is distinguished by its comprehensive evaluation of environmental consideration and sustainability efforts of real estate companies and REITs, etc., and not of individual properties.
We have participated in the survey since 2014. We gained the Green Star, which is awarded to participants who are highly rated for their actions to address environmental consideration and sustainability in terms of both "management and policy" and "execution and measurement" in the GRESB real estate assessment in 2021.
