Bridge Investment Group Continues to Improve in the 2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment
Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE:BRDG) ("Bridge" or the "Firm") demonstrates its ongoing commitment to sustainability transparency by participating with six vehicles in the 2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment.
Each year, GRESB assesses and benchmarks the environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") performance of assets worldwide, providing clarity and insights to financial markets on complex sustainability topics.
In its fourth year as a GRESB member, Bridge submitted six assessments for vehicles within the following strategies: Workforce and Affordable Housing, Multifamily Housing, Seniors Housing, and Logistics Properties.
All five recurring reporting vehicles achieved significant point increases from the previous year, ranging between 14-24%. Our newest Logistics Properties reporting vehicle had an excellent inaugural year score, forming a strong baseline for future years.
Every reporting vehicle earned at least two Green Stars, with one earning three Green Stars, a designation that reflects strong absolute performance in the assessment.
Additionally, all participating vehicles achieved 29.78/30 points in the management section of the assessment. This reflects strong Bridge leadership, policies, reporting, risk management, and stakeholder engagement for the firm. The strong management scores also resulted in high management rankings in comparison with peers across the board.
"Our GRESB progress is a demonstration of intentional hard work by many team members across our firm to support our sustainability efforts," said Robert Morse, Executive Chairman at Bridge. "We have a collective vision to achieve improved operational efficiencies, enhanced climate resiliency planning, increased ESG data collection, and healthier buildings for our tenants and residents."
The 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 reporting frameworks, goals, and emerging regulations. This year's Real Estate Assessment saw a record 2,223 listed and non-listed portfolios participate, generating a benchmark that covers $7 trillion of gross asset value ("GAV") across 80 markets.
GRESB 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.
