TERMITES

100

Results have been consistent over four years: the presence of termites was not identified in any building in 2017, including in the units for sale.

The presence of termites can have serious consequences for the building structure, resulting in material damage and often significant repair costs or the risk of contamination of neighboring buildings.

Gecina regularly checks the entire property portfolio if it is located in an area covered by a regional administrative order. If an asset turns out to be concerned by the presence of termites and if it contains a wooden structure, a preventive audit is conducted to arrange for the property to be treated, where necessary. The control process is characterized by four action areas: know the contaminated or ■ potentially contaminated sites; store the information to ensure that, ■ over time, actions taken are maintained and, more importantly, the use associated with them is known; take preventive action to ensure ■ that active sites or land reserves are not a source of underground pollution; treat/manage (if necessary) the ■ contaminated sites, according to their intended use, to ensure the protection of the environment.

The Group systematically checks whether its assets are in a zone with a soil contamination risk (BASIAS, BASOL database). 51 sites have been the subject of historical and vulnerability studies. Based on these results and the activities that are subsequently conducted there, operational departments have verified the absence of risks for occupants and the environment.

The presence of pollutants in the soil can be a health hazard for the people staying on a site. These reports and associated regulations give rise to legal and market risks, as well as a risk to Gecina’s image.

Risks to the environment are not covered by any provision or guarantee. No compensation was paid during the 2017 financial year.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS

The assessment of occupational assets entails identifying the dangers and analyzing the risks facing Gecina’s staff. The assessment is formalized in a single document, which is updated. The measures taken by the Group these last years aimed at ensuring the safety of its staff and protecting their physical and mental health have produced good results. The corrective or preventive actions taken*, in order to mitigate the risks to which the company’s employees may be exposed, allowed the company to resolve significant risks that were not controlled. Personal protective equipment is routinely provided to each caretaker. Training courses (electrical accreditation (H0B0), conflict management, gestures * and postures) were conducted this year. Gecina identifies the dangers and analyzes the risks to which its employees are exposed. Field audits have been conducted in all residences employing Group staff. The smartphone application facilitates the preparation of single documents. They are updated every year and can be consulted by employees on the web platform. 100 100
