TRANSPARENT DISCLOSURE
To ensure good governance and accountability, we inform our stakeholders of our comprehensive actions and their results. We use internationally recognized disclosure frameworks as a part of our strategy to ensure full transparency and accurate reporting. We submit annually to GRESB, a rigorous standard that assesses and benchmarks the sustainability performance and management of real estate assets. In 2024, ESRT’s overall score ranked first of all Listed Companies in the Americas for the second consecutive year. For the fifth consecutive year, ESRT achieved the highest possible 5-Star Rating with a score of 93 and an “A” rating in the Public Disclosure Assessment. In individual categories, ESRT scored the highest in the performance of risk assessment, energy, GHG, water, and waste categories; leadership, policies, reporting, stakeholder engagement, targets, tenants and community, data monitoring and review; and building certification categories. Our report adheres with the GRI, ISSB, SASB, and SBTi standards to align with and respond to industry frameworks. ESRT continually evaluates and identifies opportunities to advance our program with economic return justified action on measures that exceed industry standards.
