Benchmarking

Benchmarking based on the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) enables the Retail Fund to obtain more insight into the opportunities to improve the sustainability performance measured at fund level. In 2016, the Fund participated for the fifth time in the GRESB assessment and improved its scores. Overall the Fund achieved a 74% score (2015: 69), divided in ‘Management & Policy (73%) and Implementation & Measurement (75%). The Fund was awarded Green Star status, the highest category in the GRESB scoring system, for the third year in a row and retained its position as second in its peer group.
