GRESB

Gain insight into your property performance with GRESB

At Encon, valuation and benchmarking are central to property portfolios. Through GRESB analyses and improvement programmes, we help organisations understand how their property performs in terms of sustainability and ESG, and how they can strategically improve this performance. From an initial assessment to a short-term action plan and long-term roadmap, we translate figures into concrete actions.

Priorities: short term versus long term

Many property companies realise that GRESB is essential for investors, banks and the group, but lack a clear understanding of why they achieve a particular score. This lack of insight hinders effective strategy, prioritisation and reporting to stakeholders. Clients often ask: which actions are feasible before the next GRESB cycle, and which efforts form part of a multi-year improvement programme? Without a clear distinction between quick wins and structural improvements, there is a risk of wasting time and budget on efforts with limited impact.

From score to strategy

Encon first maps out the current GRESB score and underlying performance. We analyse where your organisation performs well, where points are being lost and why. We then distinguish between:

• Short-term actions: concrete measures and documentation that can still be implemented before the next GRESB round
• Long-term actions: structural improvements in strategy, policy, data and projects that sustainably increase the score

Added value as a starting point

For each proposal, we weigh added value against GRESB points. Not every action that generates points also delivers real value. We recommend actions that not only improve the score, but also contribute to risk reduction, returns, reputation and stakeholder satisfaction.

A tailored roadmap

We translate our advice into a concrete roadmap, fully tailored to your maturity, needs and ambitions. This turns GRESB from an annual checklist into a strategic compass that aligns seamlessly with your ESG and business strategy.
