Our SRI strategy
Since Primonial REIM’s creation, we have built our responsible approach around our corporate values and applied it through the investment policy adopted for our funds. We wish to make our clients’ investments meaningful by allowing them to invest in purposeful real estate funds that have a positive impact on the environment and society. At Primonial REIM, we believe that combining meaning with performance is not only possible, but absolutely necessary.
THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR ALONE ACCOUNTS FOR 10 BILLION TONNES OF CO2 WORLDWIDE.
At Primonial REIM, we integrate ESG criteria in the selecting and management of our investments.
We believe that it is possible to combine the objective of generating an attractive yield with sustainable development interests within the same asset management strategy.

Primonial REIM: a Europe-wide environmental commitment
We are committed to the continuous improvement of our European real estate assets’ environmental performance. This asset base, valued at €32,4 billion of assets under management, distributed across 10 different countries, invested in 5 asset classes (offices, healthcare/education, residential, retail and hotels) and totalling more than 1,445 buildings, implies a very broad spectrum of coverage for Primonial REIM’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.
Environmental criteria are managed for real estate assets through various management tools, enabling the centralisation, sharing and analysis of building data (energy and water consumption, use of buildings, condition of equipment, etc.) in order to take the necessary measures.
Our teams define action plans specific to each building in conjunction with stakeholders, of which property managers and tenants are foremost.

Primonial REIM: a pioneer in European social infrastructure investments
Our approach
Our range of responsible real estate funds is centred on impact and SRI-certified funds.
A structured and integrated ESG approach
Our ESG approach is fully integrated within the value-creation chain. Our investments undergo a rigorous selection process. We are gradually extending our non-financial rating process to all our acquisitions. This is based on an ESG assessment grid comprising 7 themes and 90 key criteria.
Primonial REIM is up to date with the latest advances in institutional SRI policies: energy management, SRI certification, 2-degree trajectory, UN PRI reporting, future European Disclosure Regulation, etc.

Our methodology
To support our responsible investor approach, we have established multi-criteria ESG rating grids, applicable to both tertiary real estate and all our other asset classes (healthcare/education, retail, residential and hotels).
Using these tools we can assess real estate acquisitions according to non-financial information.
