Our mission: creating sustainable value for all

Our mission is to create lasting value for all our stakeholders through sustainable, innovative, and responsible growth.

 

We operate in the shopping center real estate sector with the goal of developing and managing spaces that are true living places: accessible, welcoming, and integrated with the local communities.

Our focus is on people, the local area, and the environment. The business model we propose is  long-term, based on transparency, ethics, and responsibility.
We believe that creating value means generating concrete and shared benefits for shareholders, investors, employees, tenants , suppliers, visitors, and local communities.

 

Our values: the foundation of our way of working

Our values represent the principles that guide every decision we make. They are the foundation of our corporate identity and define how we work, build relationships, and create value over time.

We act with integrity, promoting ethical and sustainable behaviours that allow us to build trust, empower people, and generate a positive impact. These values inspire every decision we make and guide us in building a solid and sustainable future for IGD and the communities around us.

Our vision

Our strategic vision: growth through innovation and sustainability

We have chosen to focus on the retail segment of the real estate industry and to concentrate our business primarily on the Italian market. We believe that Italy still has selectively interesting opportunities for restyling projects, with more dynamic growth prospects than other real estate sectors.

Our portfolio is broad, balanced, and spread across the country: our medium-sized, easily accessible shopping centers are rooted in local communities and represent a focal point in their respective catchment areas.
The experience we offer is based on a balanced mix of shopping, services, and socializing, making our spaces lively and attractive every day of the week.

The food anchor, a signature element of our model, is now complemented by a rich non-food retail mix and innovative formats that enhance the mall’s vitality.
Centers like Le Porte di Napoli, Tiburtino, and Maremà illustrate our ever-evolving  shopping center concept, adding value to the overall offering and nurturing an ecosystem where brands, services, and individuals generate mutual value.

Since 2008, we have also been present in Romania with the WinMagazine chain, a venture that has expanded our skills and international vision, but from which we have opted to withdraw gradually over the coming years, following the shift in our operating environment.

Today, our strategy centers exclusively on the Italian market, where we mean to consolidate our leadership, optimize our portfolio, and reinforce the Group’s financial strength.

Our 2025–2027 Industrial Plan translated this vision into three key strategic directives:

  • optimizing our financial profile and reducing its cost;
  • maximizing the creation of value, to improve the experience of visitors and tenants and generate shared value in the long term;
  • increasing the attractiveness of our real estate through targeted, ESG-compliant investments, to maintain modern, efficient, competitive, and environmentally friendly assets.

These strategic decisions drive sustainable growth, establishing IGD among the leading European retail real estate players, while offering destinations that bring together people, communities, and opportunities.
