How are the assessments organized?

The GRESB Infrastructure Assessment framework breaks down portfolio evaluation into increasingly detailed levels:

Assessment Levels

Level

Description

Component

The highest-level category in the assessment. Each component represents a broad area of sustainability evaluation (e.g., management, performance, development).

The Infrastructure Fund Assessment is made of only one Management Component. The Infrastructure Asset and Development Asset Assessments, which funds’ underlying assets complete, include Performance and Development Components (respectively) that may contribute to a fund’s overall GRESB Score

Aspect

Each component is made up of several aspects, which group together related themes. For example, within the Management component, there are aspects such as Policies, Reporting, and Risk Management. Note that the SFDR Assessments do not contain aspects.

Indicator

The most detailed level of the hierarchy. Indicators are specific, measurable questions used to assess performance within an aspect (e.g., “Has the entity set GHG reduction targets aligned with Net Zero?”).
