Downing Renewables & Infrastructure Trust Plc (DORE), on behalf of Downing Hydro AB, a Swedish entity holding over 30 hydropower sites, was proud to announce its 2024 results in the prestigious GRESB Sustainability Benchmarking assessment for infrastructure assets.  

GRESB is an independent and standardised sustainability benchmark used by investors and clients globally.

Key performance highlights saw Downing Hydro AB:

  • Achieve 90 points out of 100, surpassing the GRESB average in all categories.
  • Rank 1st out of 695 GRESB participants for the performance component.
  • Rank 2nd out of 6 hydroelectric power generation managers in Europe overall.

Key strengths identified by GRESB include:

  • Strong leadership and management policies in place at all levels of management: from asset and investment managers’ policies to DORE’s Trust commitments.
  • Exceptionally strong capabilities in performance reporting, including for greenhouse gas emissions and wildlife habitat management.
Hannah Picknett, Head of Infrastructure Asset Management Operations and ESG, commented: “We strive to remain at the forefront of sustainable asset management, so I’m delighted that GRESB has acknowledged our robust framework around environmental, social and governance considerations in managing DORE’s hydropower investments.”
