The score placed Lightpath first among participating private data transmission companies in the fiber networks sector in the Americas.
The GRESB 5-Star Rating places Lightpath in the top 20% of all participating entities. Lightpath achieved two GRESB designations: Infrastructure Asset Super Class Leader and Sector Leader – Data Infrastructure.

GRESB (the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) provides a rigorous methodology and consistent framework to measure the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management and performance of real assets and portfolios based on self-reported data and peer benchmarking. Each year, GRESB assesses and benchmarks the ESG performance of infrastructure assets worldwide and monitors the sector's progress towards global sustainability goals. GRESB Assessments are guided by what investors and the industry consider to be material issues in the sustainability performance of real asset investments and are aligned with international reporting frameworks such as Global Reporting Initiative and Principles for Responsible Investment.
"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.
