Assessment Structure & Scope
About the Assessment
The GRESB Lender Assessment empowers real estate lenders to efficiently evaluate their internal ESG capabilities and programs, ensuring effective management of related risks and impacts. Through a consistent framework and actionable insights, the assessment helps lenders align with sustainability goals and make more informed decisions regarding their loan portfolio and investments.
The methodology is consistent across different regions, lending programs, and investment vehicles, and aligns with international reporting frameworks, such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
Real Estate Lender Benchmark

E - indicators related to actions and efficiency measures undertaken to monitor and decrease the environmental footprint of the asset
S - indicators related to the entity’s relationship with and impact on its stakeholders and the direct social impact of its activities
G - indicators related to the governance of sustainability, policies and procedures, and approach to sustainability at the entity or organization level
