Klépierre has once again been recognized for the excellence of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy in the 2022 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) assessment. For the third year in a row, Klépierre, the European leader in shopping malls, has ranked top of the “Global Retail Listed”, “Europe Retail”, “Europe Retail Listed” and “Europe Listed” categories, further improving its score by one point to 98/100 overall.

RECOGNITION OF THE GROUP’S LEADERSHIP IN CSR

This score of 98/100 – compared to an average of 79/100 among similar companies and 74/100 for all GRESB participants – confirms Klépierre’s industry edge and cements its leadership in terms of CSR commitments. As the Group prepares to conclude its first five-year Act for Good® plan, these results validate and reward the hard work carried out by Klépierre’s teams since 2018. GRESB, the global sustainability benchmark for real estate assets, publishes a comprehensive comparative assessment on companies’ ESG performance each year, reviewing strategy, organization, commitments and results. This latest distinction from industry professionals rewards Klépierre’s dedication and achievements, which have already been hailed by many other international organizations including CDP (“A-List”) and MSCI (“AAA” rating). “This first place ranking, for the third year in a row, once again rewards the Group’s longstanding commitment and the measures we have taken for many years now. While energy efficiency has today become a short-term emergency, these results encourage us to continue to think long term. That is what we have done throughout the Covid crisis, by staying focused on achieving our goals without compromising on our commitments. And that is what we will continue to do going forward, by embedding CSR into our operations to consolidate our leadership and continue to create value for all our stakeholders,” said Jean-Marc Jestin, Chairman of the Klépierre Executive Board.
