Mercialys a Winner at the Grands Prix de la Transparence

Picks up Best Improvement Award for Gaining 80 Places in One Year, Ranked Third out of 120 Companies, the Highest Position Ever for a Real Estate Company since This Award Was Created

Regulatory News:

Mercialys (Paris:MERY) has been ranked third in the SBF 120 at the 8th Grands Prix de la Transparence awards, the highest level ever achieved by a real estate company. Mercialys also won the best improvement award, scaling the rankings by more than 80 places in one year. This is a remarkable achievement, highlighting efforts to ensure the transparency and quality of its financial reporting.

Each year, the Grands Prix de la Transparence awards review French companies listed on the SBF 120 for their regulatory reporting judged on over 150 criteria. The registration document, code of ethics, website and general meeting brochure were all analyzed by a scientific committee put together by the agency Labrador, with methodology built around four pillars: accessibility, accuracy, comparability and availability of information.

Following the two EPRA Gold Awards received two weeks ago, Mercialys has once again stood out for the quality of its financial and sustainability reporting. The excellent performance and ranking achieved reflect the accuracy of its reporting materials and the continuous improvement process rolled out by Mercialys. The award also recognizes the commitment shown by the leadership team and Board of Directors to ensure alignment on market best practices and further strengthen the confidence and trusting relationships between Mercialys and all its stakeholders.
