GRESB partnership boosts Cundall’s influence within APAC real estate industry

Asia 21 May 2024

Cundall is pleased to announce the continuation of our partnership with GRESB as a Partner. GRESB plays a crucial role in the global push towards sustainability by providing a standardised framework for assessing and benchmarking environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in the real estate and infrastructure sectors.

“GRESB is more than just an ESG rating provider. We offer actionable insights based on property sector-specific ESG scoring and peer benchmarking. This allows real estate companies and managers to understand their sustainability strengths and areas for improvement,” says Ruben Langbroek, Head of Asia Pacific, GRESB.

“Importantly, as we shine a light on what the ESG leaders are doing and what the most sustainable buildings look like, best practices can be identified and adopted by the sector. Ultimately, this leads to better environmental, social, and economic outcomes for all stakeholders in the built environment.”

“Cundall has extensive experience in GRESB reporting for large portfolio level clients, helping them improve their scores year after year.”

Offering science-based ESG advisory expertise combined with technical proficiency also enables clients to implement meaningful changes that enhance rankings and scorecards.

“Leveraging our multi-disciplinary excellence in built environment engineering design, we empower clients to plan and execute retrofit, refurbishment, and repositioning initiatives at both individual asset and portfolio levels. These initiatives encompass electrification, enhancements in energy performance ratings, attainment of building and portfolio certifications like Green Star and WELL, and to embark on credible pathways to reach net zero status,” explains Cundall Associate and APAC ESG Lead, Madlen Jannaschk.

“We look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts in aiding clients with GRESB reporting and implementing changes to drive measurable impact within the real estate industry.”

In terms of GRESB reporting, Cundall’s capabilities include collecting, reporting, and managing ESG data for organisations, completing GRESB Assessments, and enhancing overall sustainability performance.

GRESB has enormous significance for the APAC region, which is experiencing rapid urbanisation and infrastructure development. Through raising awareness and providing tangible recognition for ESG excellence, it serves as a catalyst for driving sustainability ambition in real estate and infrastructure.
