Foresight became a member of GRESB in 2018 having attended events and conferences and engaged with the organisation in a number of face-to-face meetings, discussing progress of the initiative and potential collaboration opportunities. Foresight submitted its first asset assessment that year.

 In 2019, Foresight increased its reporting to one asset from each of the five asset classes (solar, wind, bio, battery storage and flexible generation).

 As a representative for the European region, Foresight attends regular meetings and provide technical input to GRESB regarding the content of the Infrastructure Assessment and GRESB's other infrastructure products and services, that will ultimately impact the ESG credentials of infrastructure funds and assets on a global scale.
