Wereldhave received several awards for its ESG program 'A Better Tomorrow':

  * Wereldhave ranks as number 1 in its peer group of listed Western European
    shopping center companies in the 2023 Global Real Estate Sustainability
    Benchmark (GRESB, the leading global ESG benchmark for real estate).
  * With a score of 92/100, Wereldhave retains its top score (2022: 92/100) and
    received a 5-star rating from GRESB for the tenth consecutive year. A solid
    achievement in the light of ever-increasing benchmark requirements and peer
    performance.
  * Wereldhave also received its eighth consecutive Gold Award in the annual
    Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations from the European Public Real
    Estate Association (EPRA sBPR).

"We are proud to receive continued recognition of benchmarks like GRESB and
EPRA, validating our ongoing investments and commitment to sustainability. GRESB
helps us benchmark against peers, guiding our strategy and goal-setting. Our 'A
Better Tomorrow' ESG strategy, with clear net zero and social impact goals,
relies on our dedicated teams to keep pushing our performance against these
ambitious goals", said Dennis de Vreede, CFO at Wereldhave.
A Better Tomorrow
Our ESG-program 'A Better Tomorrow' was developed to provide a roadmap from
2020 until the year 2030, with intermediate targets for 2025. It aligns with the
Global Goals (SDG's) relevant for Wereldhave and includes elements from leading
ESG benchmarks such as GRESB and BREEAM. The program is based on three focus
areas, each with clear ambitions:
* Better Footprint - reduce carbon emissions with 30% in 2030 for all m² under

    Wereldhave's operational control (SBTi approved) and become Paris Proof in
    2045 (DGBC approved)
  * Better Nature - 100% of assets have action plans to mitigate physical
    effects of climate change and double the surface of vegetation roofs and
    green spaces
  * Better Living - Contribute at least 1% of net rental income to socio-
    economic and social inclusion initiatives and aim for zero safety incidents
    at Wereldhave centers.

These and more ambitions can be found in our Integrated Annual Report.
Sebastien Roussotte, CEO of GRESB commented: "Net zero in real assets is not
merely a goal, but a necessity. It requires a collective commitment to reduce
carbon footprints and drive sustainability in the built environment. GRESB
participants stand at the forefront of this movement, actively implementing
strategies, setting targets and integrating sustainable practices to accelerate
progress towards a net-zero future."
Let's talk @ our new office in Amsterdam
In August 2023, following an extensive renovation, we relocated to our new
historic office in the heart of Amsterdam. This almost energy-neutral structure
ignites our determination to take that additional step required to achieve our
sustainability objectives. We invite everyone to exchange ideas or just drop by
for a cup of coffee.
