Regulatory News:
Mercialys (Paris:MERY) has received validation of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets under the SBTi's sector-specific "Buildings" standard. This scientific validation confirms the Company's strengthened trajectory, which now aims to reduce its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions (Category 13: downstream leased assets) by -62% per square meter by 2030 and -92% by 2050, compared to 2017.
Its previous target, certified in 2019, called for a -47% reduction in Scope 1 2 emissions per square meter by 2030. Mercialys is therefore raising its decarbonization target, with an ambition that now includes energy consumption in both the common areas of its shopping centers and its tenants' spaces, adopting a whole-building approach.
This enhanced commitment builds on results already achieved. By the end of 2024, Mercialys had reduced its emissions by -41% compared to 2017 and was ranked by the Financial Times among the top-performing European companies in terms of greenhouse gas reduction.
In addition to its decarbonization target, the Company is also committed to significantly reducing emissions related to waste management and construction work on its sites by 2030. These targets will be met through the use of renewable electricity, the phasing out of fossil-fuel-based equipment, and the implementation of energy efficiency solutions. These efforts will not lead to a significant increase in medium-term CAPEX, given the investments already made.
