  • Interactive live training sessions preceded by pre-course learning modules focusing on the origins and evolution of GRESB, and the importance of high-quality data in driving effective investment oversight and manager engagement
  • Gain deeper insight into what is covered in a GRESB report, inputs, how questions are structured, scored and weighted, and exploring different types of outputs and their key elements
  • Appreciate the challenges of GRESB for participating entities and managers, including common pain-points
  • Exercises demonstrating why a good GRESB rating doesn’t necessarily equate to good sustainability performance or lower risk, and how to spot ‘gaming’ of the GRESB assessment methodology
