At Generali Real Estate, we believe in the value of external certifications to enhance energy and environmental performance, as well as to avoid green washing through independent and widely recognized external labels. Certifications lead to an increase in the asset value, reduced operating costs and, eventually, support Generali Group commitment and investor demands. We certify all new developments and major refurbishments and aim at buying certified assets or in the process to be certified right after acquisition. We seek to certify assets in the existing portfolio whenever possible and/or reasonable, by prioritizing strategic projects. CASE STUDY: Tour Saint-Gobain Located at the heart of La Défense, the Tour Saint-Gobain is the first, and so far the only, High Rise Building in France having achieved four main international environmental certifications at the highest levels.  The architectural, technical and environmental project for the building of 49,000 sqm on 44 floors and 165 meters high, a business center, a 250-seat auditorium, a showroom of approximately 300 square meters and three restaurants was designed by the French Valode & Pistre studio. Thanks to its crystalline architecture, the tower emphasizes its aesthetic qualities and its properties of light transmission, thermal insulation, and low emissivity. 🌱 Find out more in our latest Sustainability Report -> https://lnkd.in/d57AaMwz #GRE_SustainabilityinFocus

The choices we make every day, as people and more so as companies, leave a mark on the environment. The carbon footprint is a simple way to express this impact. ♻ 𝗩𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆: 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 Total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG), caused directly or indirectly, released into the atmosphere as the result of a defined activity over a defined period. To mitigate the climate change and avoid its worst impacts, we need to rethink the way we live, work and produce: the faster we act to reduce our carbon footprint, the better off we will be in the future. 🏙 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮 (𝗭𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝘇𝗮, 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻) Puerto Venecia, a 120,000 sqm commercial park in Zaragoza (Spain) welcoming more than 19 million visitors a year, is an example of our commitment to decarbonization, thanks to: ▪ Photovoltaic energy production ▪ Efficiency monitoring process and continuous analysis of all energy consumption (electricity, water and gas). ▪ Replacement of standard lighting equipment with LED lighting equipment ▪ Availability of Electric Vehicle chargers (14 EV charging points). ▪ Large green and garden areas, including Garden Wall ▪ Waste management: 48% average recycling rate of the total waste generated. ▪ Start-up and participation in the public reforestation project in Zaragoza: El Bosque de los Zaragozanos ▪ Gray water reuse for WC tanks and reuse of rainwater in garden irrigation. 🌱 Find out more in our latest Sustainability Report -> https://lnkd.in/d57AaMwz   #SustainabilityInAction

In Milan, for example, this commitment comes true not only in 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲, one of the largest and most successful urban regeneration projects in Europe, but also in the 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼 area, where we are participating in the renovation of a crucial city center hub overlooked by several buildings in our portfolio. Thanks Corriere della Sera for capturing the importance of the public/private partnership in this project benefitting the entire city (https://lnkd.in/e_iMgrBS) Our involvement to urban development does not stop here: just steps away, we’re present in the renewal of 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗲 and 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗼 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 with recently refurbished buildings. In 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝗼𝘃𝗮, our The Corner building is a pivotal element of the requalification of Viale Liberazione.
