GREEN BUILDINGS:
As part of our strategy, we seek to achieve high standards of environmental certification in our real estate projects, with the aim of having a modern and sustainable portfolio. The Company’s new projects incorporate sustainability standards and criteria adapted to the activity and expected commercial destination, such as systems for the use of rainwater and condensate water, the slowing down of rainwater discharge, the increase of green spaces, facilities and equipment with more efficient technologies, among others.
SHOOPING MALLS
Our shopping malls located in the City of Buenos Aires are part of the Circular Economy Network, an initiative of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, which generates an articulated workspace between the different actors that are part of society (companies, NGOs and universities) to build a more sustainable city.
Adherence to this initiative implies our commitment and effort to work on different actions that strengthen recycling and promote the circular economy. As part of this initiative, the Ministry of Public Space and Urban Hygiene of the City of Buenos Aires granted the Green Seal to Alto Palermo shopping mall, the first shopping mall to achieve this certification with a 2-star rating, which implies good practices and commitment to responsible waste management. The certification process included training for both tenants and personnel and audits conducted by the City Government. We are currently recertifying Alto Palermo shopping mall, inviting tenants to join us with their own waste management, which is another step in the certification process. Soon, we will add Dot Baires, Alcorta and Patio Bullrich to become the next shopping malls with the Green Seal. These actions not only benefit the shopping malls, but also encourage some tenants to certify this Seal. In this way, we help a greater number of companies to become part of the Circular Economy Network.
