A SUSTAINABLE PLANET

Reducing the environmental impact of our assets

our

commit

ment

in favor of the climate

for a sustainable planet

 

Buildings are among the largest culprits for CO2 emissions.

One of the biggest challenges of our time will be fighting climate change and saving our planet.

The need to de-carbonise real estate, starting with all existing assets, means that we must implement environmental indicators and positive actions.

IN FRANCE, THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR ALONE ACCOUNTS FOR

30%

OF ALL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Guillaume Regert Responsable technique Primonial REIM

Saving our environment has become an unavoidable issue. And our collective consciousness has been recently further reminded of this by the Covid-19 pandemic.
More than just blindly applying new and more ambitious regulations, we are more than ever being subjected to a profound need to change the mould and a find a new direction.
Beyond simply informing our clients more effectively, the introduction of extra-financial criteria into our investment and management methods are an opportunity to make real-estate Asset Management into a much more complete and exciting function for those involved.

We focus in advance

on investing in efficient assets,

with high environmental performances.

 

To support our responsible investor approach, we have established a multi-criteria ESG scoring table divided into 7 themes and which can be used for office buildings or any other asset classification (health/education, retail, residential, hotels).  
These tools allow us to evaluate each new real-estate acquisition based of extra-financial information.

100% of our real-estate investments are subjected to ESG due diligence which results in a score being attributed to the asset.

ESG scoring example for office buildings. Evaluation of assets based on a scoring table made up of 90 questions covering 7 major themes and 22 sub-themes.

Throughout the management phase of our office building assets, we implement a continuous improvement approach to optimise energy consumption and reduce the carbon footprint.

 

At Primonial REIM France, we did not wait for the Office Building Decree (Décret Tertiaire) to come into force before collecting the necessary energy consumption data for our assets.

For example, an Energy Management action applied to our office buildings ensures the constant monitoring of the buildings’ energy consumption to reduce their environmental impact.

Thanks to our pro-active approach, we have been able to establish a detailed survey of our building stock, to focus on specific improvement levers for each situation and establish pertinent action plans :

  • Optimising the building’s facilities management
  • Preventative maintenance
  • Investment works

Certified buildings

For our Primopierre SCPI (REIT - Real Estate Investment Trust), more than two thirds of our office buildings are certified to the market’s highest possible standards.

ESG management process validated by the special committee

restructuration

Our asset restructuring

plans are an opportunity

for us to

reconfirm our standards in

terms of services and environmental performance.

 

We currently apply our Responsible Work-site Charter which informs our partners of what we expect from them in terms of the management of waste materials, material performances, the avoidance of work-site nuisances, respect for employment rights and the conservation of biodiversity.
As a long-term investor, we are keen to apply “Best in Progress” principles by focusing our investment efforts on progressing our existing buildings stocks and thus contributing to the fight against the artificialisation of land and urban spread.

The assets that we sell will integrate an extra-financial score responding to these ESG criteria.

We will be able to guarantee improved liquidity for any assets that we wish to sell by highlighting the extra-financial management and evaluations that have been implemented.
