Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield awarded ‘A’ rating by CDP

For the seventh year in a row, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield ("URW”) has been awarded CDP’s top ‘A’ rating on Climate Change, in recognition of the clear and transparent actions the company is taking under its Better Places sustainability plan.

The announcement is the latest demonstrating the increasing recognition of URW’s ESG leadership, which includes moving from 70 up to 24 in leading sustainability research company Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking, and Equileap naming URW as 75 in the world and 10 in France for gender equality.

The company has also been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most sustainable companies in the world.

Sylvain Montcouquiol, Chief Resources and Sustainability Officer at URW, commented: "We are delighted to be named in CDP’s ‘A’ list for the seventh consecutive year, continuing the recognition of the progress of our industry-leading Better Places plan, and in particular reinforcing our climate action and performance.”

Among many milestones in the last year, URW has now achieved a -42%¹ reduction in carbon emissions from Scopes 1, 2 & 3, reduced energy intensity by -37%² and begun the rollout of its Better Places Certification.

The certification is the first sustainable standard for shopping centres covering all environmental and social dimensions and has been rolled out to 14 assets representing around 30% of its European retail portfolio, ahead of its target to certify 10 assets by the end of 2024.
