Each year GRESB assesses and benchmarks the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of real assets worldwide and monitors progress towards global sustainability goals. GRESB Assessments are based on the sustainability performance of real asset investments and are aligned with international reporting frameworks.
The GRESB Sector Leader Awards Program recognizes real estate and infrastructure companies, funds and assets that have demonstrated outstanding leadership in sustainability. Sonnedix achieved an overall GRESB score of 83 out of 100, against a peer average score of 50. The 2018 results award the global solar IPP an overall maximum rating of five stars as well as establishing Sonnedix as the PV Power Generation Sector Leader for sustainability performance.
"Being recognized as the Sector Leader in sustainability is very important to Sonnedix as we strive to have a positive impact on the environment and communities within which we work," said Axel Thiemann, CEO of Sonnedix.
The stringent assessment covers a range of activities, spanning management, policy and disclosure, risks and opportunities, monitoring and EMS, stakeholder engagement, performance indicators and certification and awards.
The GRESB Real Estate and Infrastructure Assessment results present a unique opportunity for global real asset investors and managers to engage on the current state of sustainability in the sector and review emerging trends from the annual Assessments
