South East Water has been named as an Infrastructure Asset Sector Leader by GRESB for its sustainability leadership in 2023.
GRESB collects, validates, scores, and independently benchmarks ESG data to provide business intelligence, engagement tools, and regulatory reporting solutions for investors, asset managers, and the wider industry.
The organisation provides a rigorous methodology and consistent framework to measure the ESG performance of individual assets and portfolios based on self-reported data.
