One methodology. Three levels of verification.
The methodology never changes between tiers — what changes is the depth of data and verification behind the score. Every published score discloses both together: the band and the tier, always.
A structured estimate delivered monthly with zero input required. Included with onboarding.
A score on at least 30% actual or owner-verified data, with mandatory signoff by a certified PEGS assessor.
A score on at least 70% actual or independently verifiable data — certified assessor plus an independent assurance provider.
A band is always disclosed with its tier — "PEGS Gold — Basic Assessment", never "PEGS Gold" alone. Where assurance is engaged, the assurance level is disclosed too.
Every data point behind a score is classified by how it was verified — from independent third-party measurement, through actual measured data, owner-verified documents, and independent professional estimates, down to inferred estimates and self-declarations. Higher tiers require stronger evidence. The full evidence hierarchy is published in the Framework Whitepaper.
At Certification tier, third-party assurance is engaged under ISAE 3000 (Revised): PEGS Limited Assurance (a negative-form conclusion) or PEGS Reasonable Assurance (a positive-form conclusion, with ISAE 3410 applied to GHG indicators).
A standard is only as strong as its governance.
The PEGS ESG Framework is governed by five separate bodies, so that no single desk writes the methodology, applies it, certifies against it, and hears the appeals.
The framework is versioned — the current published version is ESG-900 v1.0 — and every score is permanently bound to the version it was assessed under. Methodology changes are published; they are never applied silently.
Built to work with the frameworks you already report under.
PEGS does not replace disclosure frameworks — it feeds them. An asset-level PEGS assessment produces structured evidence that supports reporting under the recognised international and Indian frameworks.
Alignment means interoperability — PEGS indicators map to these frameworks' requirements. It does not mean equivalence: a PEGS score is not a GRESB rating, a BRSR filing, or an ISSB disclosure, and we will never present it as one.
