SUMMARY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY PROCEDURE

In accordance with the provisions of article 318-13 of the general regulations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, Atlante Gestion has established a policy for the management of conflicts of interest, which presents its approach to the identification, prevention and management of conflicts of interest that may arise in the exercise of its activities.

Prevention

Upstream, Atlante Gestion has set up internal procedures aiming at preventing the occurrence of conflicts of interest. These procedures lay down the ethical principles applicable to all the employees.

Identification

Conflicts of interest may arise between:

  • Atlante Gestion or its collaborators and clients;
  • between two clients.

In order to identify these situations, the management company has developed a conflict of interest map which lists typical scenarios of conflicts of interest that could potentially harm one or more clients.

The identification of potential conflicts of interest allows Atlante Gestion to implement preventive measures in order to avoid their occurrence as well as management measures to control them.

Conflict of interest management

In certain complex or particular situations, when the procedures and measures implemented upstream are not sufficient to guarantee with a reasonable certainty that the potential conflict cannot harm the interests of one of its clients, Atlante Gestion implements a procedure for the management of conflicts of interest based on the transparency of the actions towards its clients. If necessary, the management company clearly informs its clients, before acting on their behalf, of the general nature or the source of the conflicts of interest.

MAINE COLLEGES 72

€61 million

Sociale Infrastructure

Sarthe region

Lead investor in the construction and rehabilitation of four middle schools in the Sarthe region, located in Arnage, Coulaines, Le Mans and Noyen-sur-Sarthe to receive 2,300 students.

The project is in the operation phase since 2019.

LABEL - CERTIFICATION​

The project was subject to carbon assessment. Seeing the results, in end-January 2018, CERTIVA awarded MAINE COLLEGES 72 permanent HQE (high environmental quality) certifications for the “Programme Design” phase for each of the schools. The permanent HQE certification for the “Development” phase was awarded in November 2019 for all the schools.

As of November 2019, MAINE COLLEGES has also been awarded the Effinergie + label. This label testifies to the improvement in the buildings’ energy efficiency in relation to the 2012 Réglementation Thermique (the 2012 Heat Regulation).

Water management

Wastewater is let into the wastewater sewerage systems of the towns concerned.

A rainwater harvesting system is planned for sanitary use, so as to cover 10% of the water requirements for toilet bowls and urinals in the toilet facilities.

Waste management

Implementation of waste segregation.

All materials used in the construction have zero or very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) levels.

Energy efficiency

The schools were equipped with low temperature radiators that require 30% less energy to provide the same thermal comfort given their much larger contact surface with the ambient air.

Ceiling radiant panels that allow a more accurate monitoring of power consumption, have been installed in the canteens.

PV solar panels will be installed horizontally on the roof, covering a total area of 57.12 m2.

The kitchen appliances run on electricity and are equipped with an energy optimiser.

SOCIAL​ IMPACT

The project complies with contractual commitments in terms of first-time employment, namely 20,000 work hours, and in employing SMBs for which the recruiting rate is 40%.

Asbestos removal and demolition works are carried out during school vacations and the floors are hosed in case of heavy dust.
