The Real Estate Social Value Index (RESVI)

Written by Social Value Portal | May 9, 2024 2:21:37 PM

The Real Estate Social Value Index (RESVI) is a detailed, standardised reporting tool that helps you measure, report, and improve the Social Value generated by your ‘in-use’ real estate and infrastructure assets.

It makes your Social Value tangible, enabling you to:

  • Attribute financial value against Social Value outcomes by asset.
  • Create additionality, delivering purpose as well as profit.
  • Become more effective and impactful, measuring against more data points and working with a range of stakeholders.

 

Value-adds offered by RESVI

  • The hard work done for you. 
    Social Value Portal collects the data, provides the framework, actions and data points – resulting in tangible recommendations for improvements.
  • Transparency and validation. 
    With robust, validated measurements, RESVI defends against ‘greenwashing’ through increased accountability and transparency.
  • Full-points certification for the GRESB Real Estate Assessment. 
    RESVI is the first operational building certification to cover the ‘S’ in ESG.
  • Benchmarking. 
    Available within your portfolio to identify high-performing assets.

As pioneers of the leading measurement standard, the Social Value TOM System™, we built this complete, structured solution so that you can track Social Value across your assets with complete confidence.

“Measuring Social Value is fundamental to creating inclusive and sustainable town centres, and with RESVI being fully accredited by GRESB, this will assist in our mission of making social impact and financial returns intrinsically linked.”
- Tim Cornford, Head of Asset Management, Ellandi

 

How can we help?

Investment is increasingly flowing toward assets that generate high levels of Social Value – that’s a big opportunity. But while 93% of real estate organisations have a Social Value strategy, only 8% are Social Value market leaders, according to research.

Our clients vary from debt providers to investors, fund and asset managers, property managers, and large scale corporate occupiers, all covering the private as well as public sector. We cover traditional and non-traditional assets, and welcome clients from across the world.*

* Outside the UK, we can currently only offer 2-step analysis without the calculation of financial values. A global framework for calculating the value generated in local currency terms on a comparable basis will take place during 2024.

RESVI delivery partners

Social Value Portal also works with RESVI delivery partners: leading real estate businesses licensed to deliver RESVI to their clients, with all data reviewed and validated by our experts.
