Preqin, a global leader in alternative assets data, and Measurabl, the most widely adopted ESG technology in real estate, have partnered to set a new standard in ESG transparency for private real estate investments. This collaboration aims to address long-standing issues of opacity in ESG data, particularly in private markets.
Historically, private markets have been plagued by inconsistent and delayed ESG disclosures. Self-reported data, often lagging by over a year and lacking consistent methodologies, has made it difficult for investors to make informed comparisons across assets, funds, and managers. This partnership between Preqin and Measurabl aims to eliminate these challenges by providing a comprehensive dataset that covers carbon emissions, energy usage, and green building certifications for nearly 100,000 properties listed on Preqin’s platform.
With Measurabl’s proprietary machine learning model, trained on a vast global database, the partnership offers best-in-class estimates of sustainability metrics. This model applies a consistent methodology across properties and funds, ensuring reliable and comparable data. Matt Ellis, CEO of Measurabl, emphasized, “Real estate is the world’s largest asset class and also one of the most environmentally impactful, accounting for nearly 40% of global emissions. This partnership brings unparalleled transparency to real estate sustainability, leveraging Measurabl’s timeliness, granularity, and auditability of data.”
