Case Study: B&I Capital reduces ESG data-collection burden with GRESB

Listed real estate investor B&I Capital keeps ahead of ESG regulations and cuts its data-collection burden with GRESB

B&I Capital, a global listed real estate investment manager, faced the challenge of keeping ahead of evolving ESG regulations and mitigating the significant burden of collecting ESG data directly from companies using its own bespoke questionnaire. To address this, the firm turned to its GRESB Investor Membership to gain better data and insights.

By leveraging the GRESB Real Estate Assessment & Benchmark, B&I Capital greatly reduced its data collection burden while improving overall data quality. This allowed the firm to focus on material ESG issues, ensure sound governance in its holdings, and integrate climate risk recommendations into its framework. The solution from GRESB provided clear evidence of sector-wide transformation towards sustainability and helped improve the risk profile of B&I Capital's portfolios.
