# What's Coming?

As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, GRESB and [Infrastructure Masons (iMasons)](https://imasons.org/) have joined forces to create the **world’s first global sustainability benchmark tailored to data centers**. 

The GRESB Data Center Assessment is designed to meet the needs of investors, developers, and operators navigating this fast-growing market. Following a successful pilot launched in Q3 2025, GRESB is releasing the full assessment in 2026.
