What sustainability data challenge did this REIT face?

The NYSE-listed REIT had outgrown spreadsheet-based, manual sustainability reporting. It was unsustainable for the 40,000+ assets it was tracking, and it fell short of the SOX-type rigor the REIT’s audited financials required.

Audit-ready at scale

The REIT needed sustainability data that was audit-ready across tens of thousands of assets, not just a handful of pilot sites.

Financial-grade rigor

Reporting needed to align with the same financial controls and data frameworks used for the REIT’s audited financials.

From reporting to operations

Sustainability data now supports operations, aligned with the REIT’s operational framework.

How were these sustainability data challenges solved?

GLYNT.AI established an audit-ready baseline spanning thousands of assets and 8 million data points across energy, water, waste, and emissions. From there, GLYNT.AI tracked year-over-year changes against that baseline and now delivers updated data every month.

Current, monthly data

GLYNT.AI delivers accurate, up-to-date sustainability data instead of static, after-the-fact reports.

End-to-end traceability

Every data point traces back to its source, giving auditors complete, end-to-end traceability.

Finance and ESG alignment

Financial and sustainability systems now operate in sync, so ESG reporting reflects the same numbers finance already trusts.

No change in software

The REIT kept the software and systems it already had — GLYNT.AI simply accelerated and streamlined the sustainability data flowing through them.

Frequently asked questions

How can a REIT make its sustainability data audit-ready?

A REIT can make sustainability data audit-ready by preparing it with the same controls as its financials and tying it back to the asset tracking schema: every data point tested, traced to its source and reconciled to the asset registry. GLYNT.AI does this across entire portfolios, delivering energy, water, waste and emissions data monthly into the systems the REIT already uses.

What sustainability data challenges do real estate portfolio managers typically face?

Managing sustainability data across dozens or hundreds of properties means dealing with different vendors, meters, and file formats at every site. Collecting and reconciling all of it manually is time-consuming and gets harder to keep audit-ready as a portfolio grows.

How can real estate managers get audit-ready sustainability data?

GLYNT.AI automates the collection, validation, and preparation of sustainability data across an entire portfolio, delivering audit-ready records with the same rigor applied to financial data.

What types of sustainability data does GLYNT.AI collect for real estate?

GLYNT.AI collects and prepares data on energy, water, waste, and emissions across every property in a portfolio.

Does GLYNT.AI integrate with the accounting or BI systems real estate teams already use?

Yes. GLYNT.AI connects directly to a portfolio’s existing accounting systems, reporting software, and BI tools, so sustainability data flows into the systems that teams already rely on.

How often does GLYNT.AI deliver updated sustainability data?

GLYNT.AI delivers sustainability data on a regular monthly cadence, so real estate teams have current, audit-ready numbers rather than scrambling to compile everything once a year.

Do real estate teams need developers to use GLYNT.AI?

No. GLYNT.AI’s tech stack is fully integrated and tested, so teams don’t need to add developer resources to manage data flows or build custom integrations.

How does GLYNT.AI help real estate teams meet financial-grade reporting standards?

GLYNT.AI prepares sustainability data using the same testing and validation rigor applied to financial data, giving real estate teams data that can stand up to audit and investor scrutiny.
