Keyton’s portfolio ranked first in 2023 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark

For the fifth year in a row, the international GRESB Foundation, which is an independent, not-for-profit organisation (incorporated in Holland) sets global standards for assessing the environmental, social and governance performance of real estate, has awarded the title to the same Australian provider. “GRESB assessments are based on analysis of environment, social and governance data, and we have performed very well, scoring 91/100 for our existing assets against a peer group average of 77/100,” Keyton Chief Executive Officer Nathan Cockerill said. “We also performed strongly with our development projects, scoring 96/100 against a peer group average of 87/100, to rank 4^th in Australia.

“This is the fifth year running that we’ve achieved a No.1 ranking, giving us a 5-star GRESB rating, and recognising the hard work we have done to prioritise the continual improvement of sustainability across our business,”

“It is a testament to everyone at Keyton and our Sustainability, Development and Operations teams in particular, that we have retained this GRESB No.1 ranking for five years now.” Lendlease Retirement Living was rebranded Keyton in May.
