Regulatory News:
Gecina (Paris:GFC) has been recognized for its climate change
performance and transparency leadership by the Climate Change
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Gecina has also made
progress in the GRESB rankings, with an overall score of 94/100,
and seen its AAA rating confirmed by MSCI.
With the publication of the CDP Climate Change ratings,
Gecina is one of the select group of companies to have been awarded
an “A” rating in this climate change benchmark. Just 283 companies
out of more than 18,000 assessed have been awarded this maximum
rating. Gecina is one of the 24 French companies included in the
CDP’s annual list of climate leaders.
The key factors behind this rating include the Group’s CSR
ambitions, and particularly the energy efficiency of its
redevelopments, the rollout of its Carbon Net Zero Plan 2030 (CAN0P
2030), targeting a drastic reduction in energy consumption and
emissions for its operational portfolio by 2030, and the
decarbonization of its energy mix.
The Group is further strengthening its operational asset
management actions with a focus on more energy efficiency, which
will enable it to maintain this score over the coming years.
Recognized CSR policy and concrete results
GRESB, which assesses the ESG performance of real estate
companies each year, confirmed the improvement in Gecina’s CSR
performance, with an overall score of 94/100, up by 1 point over
one year. The Group also increased its score to
99/100 for redevelopments.
In addition, Gecina was recognized in the MSCI rankings,
retaining its AAA rating for the fifth consecutive year,
positioning the Group as one of the top 18% of the best performers
worldwide.
Alongside this, for the ninth consecutive year, Gecina received
Gold in the EPRA Sustainability Best Practices
Recommendations (sBPR) Awards, highlighting the quality and
exhaustiveness of its CSR reporting.
Gecina has a global CSR policy, which has been one of its core
features for many years and is based around four pillars: energy
efficiency / low carbon, circular economy, biodiversity and
occupant well-living.
Illustrating this, since 2008, the Group has reduced greenhouse
gas emissions across its operational portfolio by 61%. The circular
economy actions rolled out for 100% of the developments underway
have also enabled Gecina to reduce the carbon footprint of its
projects by 42% in five years.
