Benchmarked against 150,000 assets across 74 countries, these results demonstrate Paramount’s position as a leader in the real estate industry.

ESG is a core priority for the future of our business and a key driver of growth,” said Wilbur Paes, Paramount’s Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer. “We are proud to have achieved another year of outstanding GRESB scores that demonstrate our dedication to ESG leadership and the efficacy of our strategy.”
