Use NGBS Green To Support ESG Reporting!

ESG and Green Building Certification

Why This Is Important

More and more, companies are expected to measure and disclose information related to their ESG — Environmental, Social, and Governance — impacts. ESG metrics can improve a company's ability to access capital from funders committed to sustainable investing.

NGBS Green certifications are an excellent way for companies to validate their commitment to constructing and operating sustainable and healthy buildings across their portfolio. NGBS Green certifications can help developers meet the "E" in their ESG goals and showcase to investors that their developments are designed and built to a rigorous, high performing green building standard.

One Week Left To Submit Your GRESB Assessment!

Time Is Running Out

GRESB is a framework that measures the ESG performance of a company's real estate portfolio and produces a score and rating for the company. NGBS Green Certification offers credible validation of ESG efforts and can contribute toward a higher GRESB score and ranking. The GRESB Portal opens on April 1st of each year. Participants have until July 1st to submit their ESG data and responses to the GRESB Reference Guide.
