• Sustainable development
• Shopping centers

More than two years after the launch of Mery’21, Mercialys’ CSR strategy, significant progress has been made in a number of areas. In 2017, the shopping centers reduced their water and energy consumption levels by 6% and 5% respectively, while increasing their waste recovery rate by 13%. At end-2017, the 38 photovoltaic systems in place across Mercialys’ portfolio produced the equivalent of 86% of the energy consumed by the centers, up 17% since 2015. Lastly, 100% of the new leases signed in 2017 include an environmental schedule with a program of actions to reduce stores’ environmental impacts and support the exchange of information between the lessor and lessee.
