The weighted efficiency rate remains stable. Of the 186 assets monitored in the risk mapping, 151 have an initial building permit dating prior to July 1, 1997. The tougher regulations triggered new actions to be implemented (corrective actions on materials containing asbestos, additional identification of external elements, destructive diagnostics prior to work that reveals the presence of new asbestos materials). Materials containing asbestos kept on sites have latent evolving risks linked to the works and acquisitions programs, results of inspections and the life of materials in place. Faced with the complexity of some of the actions to be taken, Gecina has appointed an external expert for assistance in achieving its objectives.

Over the last five years, asbestos regulations have been significantly tightened to prevent sanitary risks. It covers several aspects: public health, environment and work.

They fall into five areas: continue asbestos searches extended ■ to the entire property portfolio; adopt an aggressive stance on the ■ treatment of asbestos (removal, confinement, prevention); adopt regular and systematic ■ monitoring of all materials left in place and take advantage of periodic controls to carry out the additional tracking of materials and products containing asbestos in the external elements on list B, due no later than February 1, 2021 on non-sale assets or assets not affected by work or to be demolished; be proactive on controlling the risks ■ for the companies involved, commit to full transparency on the presence of asbestos in its buildings with clients/tenants but also with associates and the employees of the construction and maintenance companies; ■ finally, in order to preserve the ■ environment for future generations, Gecina is careful to render all its asbestos waste inert.
