That\u2019s why they are excited to announce that participation in GRESB has grown to cover the ESG performance of more than 1,500 real estate and infrastructure funds, companies and assets, with more than 4 trillion dollars in asset value.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019 Real Estate Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1,005 property companies, REITs, funds and developers participated in the 2019 Real Estate Assessment. The Assessment now covers more than 100,000 assets (of which more than 66,000 reported at the asset level) providing a large set of ESG data and insights for the real estate investment market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at its coverage of the private market by fund size, the benchmark includes 48 of the 2019 PERE 100 Ranking (participating with at least one fund).  The Public Disclosure Dataset has full coverage of the major listed real estate indices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data combines high-level overall scores with in-depth information across hundreds of ESG data points, including performance indicators such as energy consumption, GHG emissions, water consumption and waste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019 Infrastructure Coverage\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Infrastructure Fund Assessment increased by 43 percent to cover 107 funds and the Infrastructure Asset Assessment grew by 40 percent to include 393 assets. The Asset Assessment participation now covers 30 of the 33 industry sectors across 57 countries leading to deep data insights for investors, fund managers and asset operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add market context to these numbers, 36 percent of IPE\u2019s Top 75 Infrastructure Investment Managers participate in the Fund Assessment, with at least one fund. And the Infrastructure Public Disclosure dataset has full coverage of the GLIO Global Coverage Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019 Resilience Coverage\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>316 entities participated in the Resilience Module (comprising 238 real estate and 78 infrastructure participants), doubling the response rate from the previous year. The indicators cover all recommendations from the Financial Stability Board Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) enabling investors to assess climate risks and resilience across real asset companies and funds around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ESG Data that Changes an Industry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t solve global problems without a global benchmark to show us where we stand and how far we need to go. That\u2019s why we are pleased to announce another increase in GRESB\u2019s benchmark coverage and congratulate all 1,505 companies, funds and assets that reported on their ESG performance this year,\u201d says Sander Paul van Tongeren, co-founder and managing director at GRESB. \u201cYou are the leaders of this movement and it\u2019s your commitment to ESG integration and reporting that is paving the way for a more sustainable real asset industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transition to a sustainable real asset industry is one of the most fundamental challenges we face. We can only meet it with reliable ESG information, meaningful global benchmarks and collective action from all our stakeholders as we work towards a more sustainable future. Thank you for being part of the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join a 2019 GRESB Results Event\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll review the 2019 GRESB results, explore the current state of sustainability in our sector and consider what the next 10 years will look like.\u00a0 In view of the global challenges, the stakes have never been higher.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gresb.com\/2019-gresb-results-events\/\">See dates and locations of the 2019 Results Events<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its founding 10 years ago, the idea behind GRESB has never wavered; to provide investors with the data they need to make decisions for a more sustainable real asset industry.
