GRESB Group Review with API

Edit online

Use the GRESB group review page to review how synchronized your IBM® Envizi ESG Suite data is with data in GRESB, for each location in a group. You can also use the GRESB group review page to send asset data in bulk by API.

The GRESB group review page contains the following features:
  • Perform a quick data health check by reviewing a summary of the matching data between GRESB and Envizi ESG Suite. Review data for the current period, for each asset and section, through a heat map and percentages.
  • Send asset data in bulk to GRESB. All asset data will be sent to GRESB for each asset selected if the asset is configured correctly with a GRESB asset Id, and has an active connection with GRESB. For more information after sending data, see the location level GRESB Asset Summary (with API) page .
  • Disable fields in bulk by section, field, location, and period. After fields have been disabled, they can be re-enabled only through the GRESB Asset Summary (with API) page.
  • Review Active Parent GRESB Group and Asset ID for the submission of joint venture assets.
Tip: When you initially display the GRESB Asset Summary (with API) page, the system sends asynchronous API calls to GRESB to refresh the data that is displayed on the page. Refresh the page after five to ten minutes to ensure that the API calls to GRESB have completed and that the latest data is displayed in the page.
The following table describes the columns in the GRESB group review page.
Table 1. GRESB Group Review grid columns and descriptions
Column Description
Location This field displays the name of the location.
Active Parent GRESB Group The parent group that will be used for API submission. The parent group matches a reporting entity in your GRESB web portal. If the location belongs to multiple groups in Envizi ESG Suite, and among the groups there is more than one group being flagged as Active, then the Group that has been set to Active most recently will be used, based on time stamp of the flag change.
Asset ID GRESB Asset ID of the location as recorded in the location attribute. This needs to be reviewed if the location is a joint venture location and belongs to multiple groups, as the Asset ID in GRESB is different per reporting entity.
Asset Characteristics A 0~100% indicator of matching responses between Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB for the current period, excluding fields with blank values in both Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB.

The field shows the percentage number of matching fields between Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB, divided by the total number of nonblank fields in Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB for the current period for this section. If either Envizi ESG Suite or GRESB has a value for a field in the current period, the field is counted as a nonblank field.

0% is represented in a dark red color and 100% is represented in a white color. Darker heat map colors indicate a large amount of data does not match.

Data Completeness Percentage number of matching fields between Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB, divided by total number of nonblank fields in Envizi ESG Suite and GRESB for the current period for all sections.
Disabled Shows a count of the number of disabled fields for the asset. This figure includes both current and previous period fields.
Sync One of the following settings:
  • API connection active - Asset ID is verified and API connection is functioning.
  • Asset ID not found - either create the asset in GRESB, or if already created then extract the asset ID from GRESB and record it in the Asset Characteristics page.
  • Incorrect Asset ID - This can happen when an asset is a part of a joint venture. In this case the asset ID may need to be updated to reflect the current reporting group. You can verify which group the asset is reporting against by viewing the top row in the GRESB Asset Summary (with API) page.
  • Error - if another error is encountered from the GRESB API, the specific error message will be displayed.
Last API Status This field will show the status of the last API call that was made with your login.
