We are delighted to announce that leading commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has become an official delivery partner for our Real Estate Social Value Index (RESVI).
This means that Cushman & Wakefield is licensed to deliver RESVI to its clients – with validation of data from Social Value Portal.
RESVI is a GRESB-certified tool for measuring, reporting, and improving the Social Value generated by ‘in-use’ real estate and infrastructure assets. It works by conducting a comprehensive diagnostic, grading, and Social Value assessment, using data from asset managers, property managers, key suppliers and key occupiers.
By delivering the RESVI solution, Cushman & Wakefield will help its clients quantify, measure and validate Social Value contributions – as well as to differentiate in the eyes of investors, planning authorities, and other key stakeholders. Recipients will benefit from a detailed RESVI asset report, validated by the Social Value Portal team, capturing essential Social Value delivery data.
RESVI is playing a pivotal role in the delivery of Social Value in real estate, fostering the creation of more equitable and sustainable communities. With firms like Cushman & Wakefield taking RESVI to their clients, there is a huge opportunity to drive further positive change and demonstrate that Social Value is a cornerstone of the built environment.
