Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) has become a GRESB Real Estate Investor Member.
GRESB provides a standardized benchmark and data on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of real assets, including real estate and infrastructure.
“GPIF is the largest public fund investor in Japan and a major proponent of responsible investment and stewardship principles. Their commitment also explains why Japan has the highest GRESB participation rate in any Asian country. ESG benchmarking tools allow asset owners to more effectively engage with their investments and drive positive outcomes where they are mostly needed,” said Ruben Langbroek, head of Asia Pacific at GRESB.
