Regulatory News:

For the second consecutive year, Gecina (Paris:GFC) has achieved an overall score of 92/100 in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) rankings, which assess the CSR policy and performance of companies from the real estate industry each year. For the first time, this score takes into account the office buildings from the Eurosic scope, acquired by Gecina in August 2017.

Gecina has made significant progress with its "Performance Indicators" score, up 4 points, highlighting the improvement in its office and residential portfolio's performance on the criteria for waste production, water and energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions.

"For the first time, this benchmark has measured the performance of the Eurosic portfolio (24% of the Group's portfolio), which we have integrated over the past two years. We are satisfied to maintain our score with this extended scope. We will continue moving forward with our efforts based on the four priorities from our CSR policy: low carbon, circular economy, wellbeing and biodiversity", explains Méka Brunel, Gecina's Chief Executive Officer.

In addition, during the annual European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) annual conference in Madrid, Gecina once again received two Gold Awards, including Gold in the Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (SBPR) Awards, recognizing the quality and transparency of the Group's sustainability communications.
