Frequently asked questions

Can a first-time participant score well?

A first submission sets the baseline. A clear evidence base in the Management component makes a strong start possible.

What are the GRESB components?

The Real Estate Assessment has a Management component on policies and processes and a Performance component on asset data.

Does WELL help a GRESB score?

Health and wellbeing certifications such as WELL are recognised in the assessment.

How often is GRESB submitted?

It runs on an annual reporting cycle, so improvement plans are set year to year.
