PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP A strategy focused on performance

A FEW OF GECINA'S INITIATIVES IN 2017

Gecina launches the "YouFirst” program: our properties are there to help our clients! Méka Brunel, Chief Executive Officer: "Gecina unveiled its integrated, 360-degree "YouFirst" program to its employees in early 2018. "YouFirst" aims to provide Gecina's clients with an enriched experience by improving the quality of our buildings from the start, right at the design phase, by offering more innovative and connected services tailored to their needs and by making our buildings more inclusive, more integrated with society and their environment. With "YouFirst", Gecina has moved from a B2B approach to a B2B2C culture in terms of office properties and pursues its goal of rethinking its relationship with the users of offices and housing beyond the lease . Internally, "YouFirst" will result in the redevelopment of the company headquarters and the adoption of new digital tools to provide the company’s employees with the best professional software available, to foster their creativity and initiatives, and to increase profitability. Finally, "YouFirst" will mark a new step with our stakeholders in the city by deepening our dialog with them."

Gecina launches Secondesk

Gecina launched Secondesk in 2017. This innovative solution provides two sites with co-working spaces, flexible offices and Creative rooms to meet the new needs of office users. The private offices meet the growing needs for flexibility of fast-growing companies as well as large companies for their project teams, with solutions that can be customized to their space and time requirements. These “turnkey” spaces combine a broad range of services, reflecting the emergence of the "Core & Flex” models adopted by a growing number of companies. Co-working spaces offer on-demand solutions for work, with no commitment, on a pay-per-use model. Creative rooms are innovative, out-of-the-box meeting rooms for fostering creativity and interactions within our clients’ teams. After opening the first site in Colombes in 2017, Gecina opened a second Secondesk in January 2018, the "159", in Neuilly-sur-Seine, between the Paris CBD and the La Défense business park, on more than 2,200 sq.m. Valérie Britay, Executive Director Offices: “ The profound changes underway in people's living and consuming habits have meant a real revolution in the way a growing number of companies perceive their work spaces. Collective intelligence, collaborative methods, agility, flexibility, personal well-being and initiative have become key issues for businesses trying to negotiate the path to modernity. The Secondesk offering was conceived by listening to the wants and needs of our clients, and it meets these new basic trends. " Gecina signs a partnership with WiredScore Connectivity quality is now an indispensable prerequisite in the choice of a building and a key component of company performance and productivity. The comprehensive partnership between Gecina and WiredScore will provide users with accurate data on the level and potential of its properties’ connectivity. Gecina will have WiredScore assess a first sample of fifteen assets under development with the aim of obtaining Connectivity Qualification. Gecina's long-term goal is to provide this qualification to all of its commercial developments. WiredScore CEO Tamara Brisk notes: " Gecina is the leading real estate company in Europe, with a portfolio of assets and a development pipeline unique in the market place. In the competition to attract the best talent, quality of connectivity becomes key. The comprehensive partnership with Gecina sends a very strong signal to the real estate market. It is an expression of WiredScore’s ambitious objectives in the world of PropTech. And a world first for our start-up! " Gecina launches a think tank with five European real estate companies specializing in office property This forum for discussion and initiatives complements the innovation and CSR initiatives taken by each of the property companies. The forum can provide the framework for research projects and any other initiative needed to increase the ability of property companies to innovate and implement CSR best practices. Olivier Elamine, Manfredi Catella, Pere Viñolas Serra, Méka Brunel, Toby Courtauld and Bernd Stahli made the following joint statement: “ The real estate industry is facing major changes in terms of what clients and prospects have come to expect. It is also undergoing a true technological revolution. The idea of bringing together the ideas and best practices of large European real estate companies such as Alstria, COIMA RES, Colonial, Gecina, Great Portland Estates and NSI is proof of our belief that action can be taken quickly and research and experiences from our respective markets and projects shared.
