Awards & Recognition

We measure our CSR performance against a number of external benchmarks – these benchmarks relate to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance:

GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark)
GRESB is widely used in the real estate industry. It provides an overall ESG (environmental, social & governance) benchmark for buildings and properties. In 2021, Wereldhave was awarded five stars by GRESB, the highest possible rating – for the eighth straight year.

EPRA (European Public Real Estate)
In 2021, EPRA awarded Wereldhave a Sustainable Best Practice Recommendation for our best-in-class annual sustainability performance report.
