London – Sonnedix is proud to announce it has been awarded a maximum five-star rating in the 2024 GRESB Infrastructure Assessment for the seventh consecutive year. The company has also been named an “Infrastructure Asset Sector Leader”, achieving an overall score of 100 out of 100 for a second time, against a peer average score of 73.
Each year GRESB assesses and benchmarks the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of assets worldwide and recognises real estate and infrastructure companies, funds and assets that have demonstrated outstanding leadership in sustainability.
The data is used by hundreds of capital providers and thousands of asset managers to benchmark investments across portfolios, and to better understand the opportunities, risks and choices that need to be made as the industry transitions to a more sustainable future. GRESB Assessments are guided by what investors and the industry consider to be material issues in the sustainability performance of asset investments, and are aligned with international frameworks, goals, and emerging regulations.
Axel Thiemann, CEO of Sonnedix, said:“GRESB is a voluntary assessment we participate in each year as part of our commitment to sustainability and excellence. This not only ensures we align with best practice, but also strengthens investor confidence and enhances our market differentiation. Achieving a five-star rating for the seventh year in a row is a testament to our team’s dedication to driving meaningful and responsible change across all aspects of our business.”
Sebastien Roussotte, CEO of GRESB, said:“When we talk about making real progress towards a more sustainable world, we look for practical indicators. The continued growth of the GRESB Benchmark and the dedication of Participant Members illustrated in this year’s results are clear indicators that the real assets industry is taking real steps towards a greener future.”
This year, the Infrastructure Fund Assessment covers 167 participating funds, and the Infrastructure Asset Assessments include 720 assets, across 81 countries. The Infrastructure Benchmark now covers approximately USD 465 billion of gross asset value (GAV) at the fund level and USD 1.6 trillion at the asset level (including development assets).
