The ESG label of the Atlante Infrastructure Fund with the GRESB organization

Atlante Gestion is proud to announce its obtention of a 129/149 scoring after its submission to the GRESB reporting this year, which testifies to its involvement in CSR topics.

The international comparator of ESG performance for real assets

Created in 2009, the GRESB – Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark is a private environmental labeling organization specifically dedicated to the real estate asset sector.

This certificate is based on a comprehensive assessment of the ESG strategy implemented at the Fund and its Management Company levels: commitments, investment analysis and monitoring methodology, dedicated team, reporting.

A reference Certificate for Alante’s France Infrastructures Fund 

In May 2021, Atlante Gestion undertook a labeling process for its Infrastructure Fund, Atlante Infra Lux. Due to the nature of the underlying assets in the field of social infrastructure, the Fund is part of a real approach to sustainable development. In particular, project companies take on obligations concerning the control of their energy consumption and the jobs given to the most vulnerable people.

 

In order to constantly strengthen its ESG commitments, the GRESB is an additional measure to monitor the environmental and societal dimension of Atlante’s projects.

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.
