MERLIN Properties Annual Report 2019 / English

| 67 Sustainability MERLIN has continued with its sustainable building certification dynamic. Obtaining this type of certification enables maximum efficiency in the use of resources and a reduction in the environmental impacts derived from the assets, also guaranteeing the well-being of tenants and occupants. In addition, such certificates are being increasingly valued by the market. The Company continues with the Certification Plan already initiated in 2016, which aims to certify 99% of its portfolio (in GAV terms, excluding net leases). This Plan has allowed MERLIN to establish alliances with tenants that are increasingly demanding in this area and to move together towards the creation and redevelopment of assets to place them in a leading position in terms of sustainability.
