Mercialys, a leading real estate company in accessible retail, received a score of 91 out of 100, an improvement of one point compared to the previous year. This score is significantly higher than the average score of GRESB respondents, which stood at 87/100 in 2024.

The company also retains its "5-Star Green Star" status, the highest category of the benchmark, for the 8th consecutive year, placing it in the quintile of the top-performing companies. 

               

The points particularly praised by GRESB this year include:

-          the clarity of communication on its sustainability objectives, the transparency of the results achieved, and the robustness of the reporting processes

-          the reduction of the environmental footprint of its assets (reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reduction in water consumption)

This result reflects Mercialys's strong commitment to sustainable management of its assets. The improvement in the GRESB score is the result of the continuous and determined work of the company’s teams to address current environmental and social challenges, in collaboration with its stakeholders.
