Gender and career diversity, represented by gender parity, as well as equal opportunities and recognition of the work of employees are fundamental values for M.R.M. These values are reflected in commitments reaffrmed each year at meetings of the Board of directors, in favour of a human resources policy based on non-discrimination in terms of recruitment, professional appraisal, professional mobility and training, as well as through a remuneration policy, assessed annually during an individual appraisal, aimed at ensuring the development of the skills of each employee. The Company’s ethics, its prevention of corruption through invitations to tender, and its efforts to promote consumer and occupier health and safety through rigorous compliance with regulations for establishments open to the public as well as fire safety regulations are at the core of its CSR policy. In 2020, in the context of the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, M.R.M. fully mobilised to ensure that the retail tenants in its shopping centres could continue to operate their stores and welcome their customers under strict and suitable sanitary conditions, in particular by providing hydroalcoholic gel, compliance with social distancing and the installation of signposting to avoid the crossing-over of customers. Aware of its impact on places and economic activity, M.R.M. seeks not only to be part of local and regional economies but to contribute to their health and to the development of all parties involved. For example, in Allonnes, where the Aria Parc retail park is located, M.R.M. has joined the ranks of the city’s football club’s sponsors and partners. As part of its “Synergies centre by M.R.M.” concept applied in several of its shopping centres, M.R.M. backs local artists by providing them with a wall on which to regularly exhibit their work in partnership with local art schools. Under the same concept, M.R.M. also enables local newspapers and neighbourhood announcements to be broadcast, in order to promote culture, mutual aid and connections between customers. In 2021, the Company renewed its support for the “H’up Entrepreneurs” association, whose purpose is to represent and support entrepreneurs with disabilities and help make a success of their businesses. In addition, since 2020, M.R.M. has formalised its approach to enhancing its regional presence, with a dedicated reporting system. In cooperation with its asset managers, M.R.M. thus has a precise inventory of its actions and monitoring indicators, enabling it to improve existing practices and initiate new ones. In 2021, M.R.M. also adopted a regional anchoring charter. See Section 4.3.5. “Regional presence and dynamism”, below, for more details.

Tracking energy and water consumption, managing waste, and conserving energy

Tracking consumption entails gathering accurate information via automated and outsourced data collection, among other means, and reporting it according to guidelines issued by international bodies such as EPRA and GRI. Tracking energy and water consumption and waste production is the first step in an energy conservation strategy that seeks to significantly reduce the Company’s environmental footprint.

Integration of obligations relating to the Tertiary Decree

As the owner of commercial assets of more than 1,000 Sqm, M.R.M. is subject to the regulatory obligations relating to the Tertiary Decree. In line with its environmental commitments, the Company decided to integrate these regulatory objectives from the end of 2019, from a strategic and operational point of view by working closely with the managers of its assets as of the very next year. This proactive approach enables M.R.M. to ensure the gradual and effective regulatory compliance of its portfolio. In 2021, as part of the refnancing of the Group’s bank debt, a €6.4 million credit line dedicated to new investments in M.R.M.’s current portfolio was set up. It will partly fnance the deployment of the work plans that M.R.M. intends to carry out with a view to bringing its buildings into compliance with the Tertiary Decree. Taking all internal and external parties into account As a retail property owner M.R.M. aspires to be a cornerstone of local and regional economies by supporting people and businesses active in the places in which it operates. M.R.M.’s strategy also incorporates the health and well-being of its internal parties and tenants on the path to a common sustainable energy shift. 4.2 Social and societal information M.R.M. is a company on a human scale, in 2021 it had four employees.
