GRESB

IBM® Envizi ESG Suite is the premium data partner for GRESB. GRESB is an independent organization that provides validated environmental and sustainability goal (ESG) performance data and benchmarks. Envizi ESG Suite streamlines the GRESB reporting process for the GRESB Real Estate Assessment, Performance component, and it provides a dedicated API connection to GRESB’s web portal for instantaneous data submissions.

The Envizi ESG Suite GRESB module provides the following benefits:

Streamlines the GRESB reporting process by automatically generating GRESB Real Estate Assessment responses from data in the Envizi ESG Suite platform. The responses cover most asset level questions in the GRESB asset level spreadsheet, if the relevant data is captured in Envizi ESG Suite.
Provides API connectivity with GRESB’s web portal for direct and instantaneous transfer of responses to GRESB, without the need to use GRESB’s asset level spreadsheet. The data transfer can be done and repeated any number of times during the three month GRESB reporting window every year.
Provides flexibility through features such as bulk data capture grids, location level instruction settings, and account tagging to assist with reviewing, categorizing, managing and updating GRESB responses, before sending them to GRESB through APIs.

Note: GRESB normally publishes framework updates in October or November each year for the following year’s reporting season, which is April to June. Therefore, the GRESB IT department publishes updated API code and release documentation for use by Envizi ESG Suite and all of their data partners only around February each year.

Therefore, Envizi ESG Suite can update GRESB-related pages to align with the published updates only in early February to March each year, which is just in time for the April to June GRESB reporting season.
