1. SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY
Innovation, as a key strategic value aimed at identifying and anticipating market trends, is one of the pillars of Gmp's differential positioning, coupled with high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Innovation is fundamental part of Company culture, and it is integrated in all its processes and decisions, including its commitment to sustainability.
The close relationship between sustainability management and innovation is manifested through its Carbon Neutrality Plan, which consists of implementing an action plan in Gmp's buildings from 2022 to 2026 to achieve a reduction of carbon emissions by 230 TnCO2/year (487 TnCO2/year Location Based) and 3,315 MW/h/year.
In 2019, as part of its commitment to integrate sustainability into its financing strategy, Gmp established a sustainable financing framework that sets out clear and transparent criteria for investing in environmentally sustainable projects and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
In the context of the sustainable financing framework, Gmp closed the following green finance operations in the last two years:
In early 2020, the majority tranche, 74% of the syndicated loan renegotiated at the end of 2019 was converted to a green loan, reaffirming Gmp's strategic commitment to sustainability.
In November 2020, Gmp and the European Investment Bank (EIB) reached an agreement whereby the EU Bank provided Gmp with a EUR 28 million loan to finance the development of Net Zero Energy Buildings such as the ARQBÓREA building in Las Tablas and rehabilitation works to improve energy efficiency at the iconic Castellana 81 building.
In August 2021, the novation of the green loan with BBVA was signed, extending its maturity to 7 years, until 2028.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with the Company's Bylaws, the Company is governed and administered by the Board of Directors. The Board Regulations establish that this body has the broadest powers as regards Company management and, except for matters reserved to the General Meeting, is the highest decision-making body of the Company, empowered to do and implement anything to further the Company's mission.
Gmp's Board of Directors comprises six members, three of whom are executive representatives from the Montoro Alemán family, two are proprietary representatives from the Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, plus one independent director. The Secretary is appointed by the Board of Directors and is not a member. The average length of service of Gmp's board members is 15 years due to the family nature of the Company and female representation of 14%.
APPOINTMENT AND SELECTION OF THE HIGHEST GOVERNANCE BODY
The Regulations of the Board of Directors state that all efforts will be made to ensure that appointments to the board fall to persons of recognized solvency, competence and experience. Directors shall be appointed by the General Shareholders' Meeting or by the Board pursuant to the provisions set out in Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010, July 2nd, whereby the consolidated text of the Companies Capital Act is approved, and in the Company Bylaws. Board members will hold the position for a period of six years and can be re-appointed one or more times for periods of the same duration.
Although shareholding is the main criterion for the appointment of directors to the board, professional capacity and independence are valued highly. In 2021, for instance Alberto Terol, a professional of recognized prestige in the field of business management and an executive with a long career serving as an independent director and member of various boards of major companies, was appointed to the Board of Directors. In 2022, one member has left the board of his own accord and based on a personal decision. The Company would like to express its gratitude for the outgoing director's dedication and service over the years he has served in this role.
It should be highlighted that the Chief Executive Officer of Gmp's highest governing body has completed postgraduate training in environmental sustainability and has lectured on this specialist field as Associate Professor. This specialisation is reflected in Gmp's strong focus on the ongoing improvement of efficiency and sustainability at its buildings.
In 2022, Gmp's Board met four times, it has 33% representation of foreign directors, 33% aged between 30 and 50 and 66% over 501.
