Environmental Pillar

3.3.5.2 The example of the Valentin shopping centre During the extension of the site in 2019, a heat pump was installed rather than extending the existing heating loop supplied by a gas boiler. In 2022, the gas boiler that supplied only the old part of the building (the shops) was also replaced by a heat pump, allowing both reduction in energy consumption and one drastic reduction in GHG emissions site, measurable over the next few years. More generally for this project, M.R.M. is adopting best practices in line with the challenges, particularly in terms of biodiversity, thus taking a step ahead of future regulations. The actions deployed by the Company made it possible to • the renaturation of the site through planting of local species (118 trees, compared to 95 initially planned) whose proximity to the shopping centre will not hinder development. Ash trees, hops, serviceberries and spirea have been planted; • optimisation of eco-mobility f thanks to the creation of pedestrian and bicycle paths as well as the facilitation of access to the public transport network to encourage less use of individual vehicles; • the adoption of a “clean construction site” charter to limit nuisance to the public and the natural environment during r the construction period. This concerned both the construction site practices themselves and the construction materials and tools used. The strategy implemented has therefore made it possible to obtain overall environmental benefits . These include results in terms of carbon reduction, maintenance of species and natural spaces, facilitation of the fight against heat waves and therefore adaptation to climate change, as well as the opportunity to offer a pleasant site integrated into its immediate environment for visitors and users of the centre. offset the impacts of this extension. Among its actions, the following stand out: • a balance of 419 m f 2 deartificialized despite the extension of the built-up area;
