GRESB is an increasingly important benchmarking tool for infrastructure assets, and we welcome this score as a means of demonstrating that we treat our role as a responsible business very seriously.
At this critical juncture for the environment, setting an industry-leading performance in environmental, social and governance performance is hugely significant, and while the result is hugely welcome, we look forward to building on it further.
