GRESB Assessment

The real-estate or infrastructure entity (typically a fund, portfolio, or company) participated in the annual GRESB assessment and received a score (0–100) and star rating (1–5) benchmarking its ESG management and performance against peers for that assessment year.

• Anything about a specific building, product, or material — GRESB assesses portfolios and entities.
• Absolute performance — star ratings are quintiles relative to the peer group, so 5 stars means top 20% of participants, not a fixed standard.
• Claims by product manufacturers — GRESB participation belongs to property owners and investors, and rarely transfers meaning to a materials context.
• Currency beyond the assessment year — results refresh annually.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Confirm which entity was assessed — a parent fund's GRESB result does not describe an individual asset or a supplier to it.

Peer groups change composition year to year, which moves the meaning of a given star rating.
