2026 Asset Assessment

This page summarizes the full list of questions within the GRESB Infrastructure Asset Assessment.

How are the infrastructure assessments organized?

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?”).

Component	Max Score
Entity & Reporting Characteristics	Unscored
Management Component	40 Points
Performance Component	60 Points
NZIF Alignment Module	Unscored

*GRESB ‘pre-validates’ certain evidence if the participant’s response and supporting documentation remains consistent year-over-year. When applicable, this means previous year’s validation decision is carried over to the current submission.

For the 2026 assessment, this applies to: LE4 and PO1-3, Note that PO1-3 have unique pre-validation criteria, described here.
