With dozens of competing ESG disclosure standards, frameworks, and regulations in play, knowing which sustainability reporting frameworks apply to your organization — and how to navigate them — has become one of the most pressing challenges in commercial real estate. VIBE's second guidance report, Navigating Sustainability Reporting Frameworks: A Comprehensive Guide, provides authoritative, up-to-date clarity on the global sustainability reporting landscape.

Originally published in 2022 and fully updated in 2025, this free report reviews 41 sustainability reporting frameworks and organizes them into five practical categories: standards and guidance frameworks, voluntary disclosure frameworks, involuntary third-party aggregators, net zero emissions initiatives, and regulatory frameworks. For each, VIBE provides comparative tables covering reporting methodology, disclosure content, target audience, fees, and industry adoption — giving real estate companies, investors, and sustainability professionals everything they need to determine which frameworks apply to them and how to prioritize their reporting efforts. The 2025 update reflects important developments including ISSB consolidations, the evolving SEC climate disclosure landscape, and the latest fee and timeline information across frameworks. Whether you're managing GRESB submissions, preparing for TCFD-aligned disclosures, or trying to make sense of the growing patchwork of voluntary and mandatory ESG requirements, this is the most comprehensive free resource available for commercial real estate sustainability reporting. Download VIBE's ESG reporting frameworks guide and bring structure to your sustainability disclosure strategy.
