With the GRESB results for 2020 revealed recently, it’s clear that sustainability and ESG are increasingly important in the real estate market.
Participation in the assessment globally has gone up by 22%, with data on key environmental performance indicators reported at asset-level for more than 96,000 assets, across 64 countries. In Europe, there was a 24% increase in submissions for 2020.
