With heightened societal expectations and an evolving regulatory landscape, companies and their investors are increasingly motivated to address social sustainability, the “S” in ESG. This is particularly true within the global real estate industry. To serve the needs of real estate investors and fund managers, IWBI partnered with GRESB to co-produce a social sustainability dashboard with performance measures utilizing data from the GRESB Real Estate Assessment. Join Chris Pyke from GRESB and Kelly Worden from IWBI in an exploration of the dashboard and hear firsthand accounts of how real estate companies are leveraging WELL, particularly WELL at scale, to improve reporting and disclosure capabilities across key social factors, including health, equity and well-being.
