Gecina signs charter to adapt its real estate portfolio to climate change
On the sidelines of the Low Carbon Real Estate Fair (SIBCA), the property company has joined a voluntary commitment framework designed to reduce the vulnerability of real estate assets to climate change.
This signature is part of the continuation of its CANOP 2030 plan dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint of its assets.
A voluntary framework led by the OID and the Sustainable Building Plan
Gecina has signed the Commitment Charter for the adaptation of the real estate sector, an initiative jointly led by the Sustainable Real Estate Observatory (OID) and the Sustainable Building Plan (PBD).
This voluntary framework invites signatories to analyze the risks to which their assets are exposed, to set objectives and to implement adaptation actions.
It also encourages training and experience sharing within the sector.
Vulnerability analysis for 100% of development assets by 2030
The Group indicates that it is integrating climate change adaptation issues into its real estate strategy from the design phase of its projects.
As part of its CANOP 2030 plan aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and energy consumption of its assets, Gecina has set itself the objective that by 2030, 100% of its development assets will be subject to an analysis of their vulnerability to flood and heat wave risks.
These assets will incorporate a dynamic thermal simulation based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario, in order to anticipate climate changes and to integrate, from the design phase, solutions adapted to the risks specific to each asset.
