Regulatory News:

With the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)* 2020 results, Mercialys (Paris:MERY) is once again ranked in the Climate “A List”, which recognizes the world’s most active companies in the fight against climate change. This recognition highlights Mercialys’ sustained ambition to reduce its carbon footprint and ensure environmental transparency.

By maintaining its “A List” ranking for the third consecutive year, Mercialys has confirmed its position as one of the top 3% of companies leading the fight against climate change, out of more than 9,600 international participants for CDP 2020 (up 14% from last year).

More specifically, this ranking acknowledges Mercialys’ exhaustive environmental reporting and its ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as illustrated by the scientific certification of its carbon roadmap by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)** in 2019 or its actions to reduce energy consumption and diversify its energy mix. By taking part in this questionnaire - whose answers are made public - for the past four years, Mercialys is also setting out its support for collective efforts to promote transparency and access to reliable and comparable environmental data to benefit CDP’s 515 member investors and more generally all of its stakeholders.

This latest recognition follows on from Mercialys’ multiple achievements in 2020 (continued “Green Star” rating with GRESB, Grands Prix de la Transparence All Categories Award and two EPRA Gold Awards), reaffirming Mercialys’ commitment to maintaining the same level of performance while renewing its CSR strategy, with its targets and commitments to be announced during the first half of 2021.
