Lightpath has earned a 100 out of 100 score and a 5-Star Rating for the 2025 GRESB Infrastructure Asset Benchmark Report, placing the infrastructure-based connectivity provider first among participating private data transmission companies in the fiber networks sector in the Americas.

GRESB (the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) measures the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management and performance of real assets and portfolios based on an exhaustive methodology and consistent framework. By leveraging a combination of self-reported data and peer benchmarking, GRESB offers insights into the ESG performance of global infrastructure assets and tracks the sector’s progress on sustainability goals. The assessments are based on what investors and industry leaders see as material issues in the sustainability performance of real asset investments.

Lightpath earned two GRESB designations for Infrastructure Asset Super Class Leader and Sector Leader – Data Infrastructure, and its 5-Star Rating puts the company in the top 20% of all participating entities. Lightpath received a score of 97 and a 5-Star Rating in the 2024 GRESB Report.

“Achieving a perfect GRESB score and earning the sector-leading recognition underscore the priority our Board and leadership team place on advancing robust sustainability objectives,” said Amy Rowe, Director of Legal Operations and ESG at Lightpath. “We are deeply committed to embedding these principles into the core of our strategy and decision-making, ensuring sustainability and responsible growth guide our path forward. Our internal teams working toward ESG goals are instrumental in driving this progress and setting a new benchmark for our industry.”
