Sustainability benchmarking

GRESB is the most widely used benchmark for ESG performance in real estate and infrastructure; the UN PRI assessment evaluates how investors and asset managers integrate ESG into policy, decision-making and ownership. We guide you through the cycle — accurate reporting, robust data, and a strategy aligned with both regulators and investors.

The cycle

Benchmarking is annual, so treat it as a loop.

Every stage feeds the next one, and the last stage feeds next year’s first. That is why one-off submission support leaves value on the table.

01

Assessment preparation

Scope, timeline, responsibilities and what changed in the standard this cycle.

02

Data coverage

Energy, GHG, water and waste data processed and enriched, gaps filled and estimated defensibly.

03

Evidence and submission

Documentation assembled and the submission made, on time and complete.

04

Score and gap analysis

Expected scoring estimated and underperforming assets identified before results land.

05

Improvement planning

A multi-year plan so scores rise in step with your broader ESG ambitions.

Support options

Two ways to work with us.

End-to-end management

We manage the whole process: ESG data collection, evidence documentation and submission. You review and approve.

Data

Evidence

Submission

Strategic advisory

You run the submission and we advise where it counts: scoring judgement, evidence quality and where the points actually are.

Scoring judgement

Evidence review

Prioritisation

From score to action

What we do with a result.

Data quality

Reliance on estimates reduced, so next year’s score rests on measured data.

Expected scoring

Where you are likely to land, and which indicators are actually in play.

Underperforming assets

The specific assets dragging the portfolio, ranked by how much fixing them moves the score.

Multi-year improvement

A plan across cycles rather than a scramble each spring.

The value

What working with us on benchmarks gets you.

01

Better data

Improved quality and coverage, less estimation.

02

Timely submission

Accurate and on time, every cycle.

03

Audit-ready performance data

Figures with an evidence trail behind them.

04

Clear improvement insight

Where and how to improve, specifically.

05

Stakeholder alignment

Stronger alignment with investor expectations.
