With an overall GRESB rating of 96/100 and 100/100 for

This rating confirms the Group’s leadership on sustainable
development issues, as also illustrated by its scores in the MSCI,

In the GRESB ranking, Gecina increased its overall score by two

gas emissions, including a 10% reduction in emissions in 2022. In

Beñat Ortega, Gecina’s Chief Executive Officer: “The
GRESB evaluation validates our continued commitment to sustainable
development and recognizes the major work accomplished by our teams
in 2022, in conjunction with our clients and partners. For the
future, and from this year, our energy efficiency plan represents a
major source of progress. Over the first six months of 2023, this
ambitious plan has led to a 17% reduction in energy consumption and
a 21% reduction in carbon emissions in office buildings managed by
Gecina, including our headquarters, which saw its consumption drop
by nearly 28% over nine months, from October 2022 to June 2023. As
illustrated by these results, reflecting a proactive approach
involving data collection, targeted actions, dedicated teams and
