FREY is accelerated its sustainable financing policy: 100% of the Group's corporate financing now includes CSR criteria

FREY is attaching ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance criteria to all of its current corporate financing arrangements. This adjustment to all of the Group's corporate debt comes after the inaugural signing on 10 November 2021 of 2 medium-term(5-year) credit lines subject to ESG performance criteria for a total amount of €150m with its longstanding banking partners.

FREY has amended its existing contracts (total outstanding debt of €520 million) in order to transform them into responsible credit lines. Responsible bank loans with a CSR component now account for 100% of the Group's corporate debt.

The amended financial conditions are linked to the respect of 4 major CSR commitments by FREY up to 2030, which are:

  • The continued investment and operation in sustainably managed French forests through FoREY, its forestry group created in 2020. FoREY has already acquired 1,150 hectares of forests and has set the aim of acquiring 3,500 hectares by 2030. Wood is the cornerstone of the Group's low-carbonstrategy, both to supply the French lumber industry and to secure the supply of its low-carbonlumber pipeline;
  • The achievement of environmental certifications:
  1. BREEAM for the group's large-scale development projects retained by the REIT,
    1. BREEAM In-Use for material property holdings, with the aim of seeing 100% of assets certified by 2025;
  • The development of low-carbonmobility aimed at reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (scope
    1. of real estate assets by setting up charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles, with a target of achieving this goal for 5% of the total number of parking spaces by 2025 and 10% by 2030;
  • The renewal of the "B Corp" certification obtained in 2021.

This amendment is in line with the Group's responsible credit strategy launched in 2021 and underscores its sustainable financing policy. With this change, FREY is able to ramp up its goal of strengthening the Group's liquidity by implementing its ESG commitments.

FREY was advised by De Pardieu Brocas Maffei.
