Three new shopping centers in the Italian portfolio obtain BREEAM In-Use environmental certification

This brings the total number of BREEAM-certified assets in the Group’s portfolio to 19

Porta a Mare (Livorno) achieves the “Outstanding” rating, the first in IGD’s portfolio

 

IGD – Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione announces that three additional shopping centers in its Italian portfolio, Porta a Mare in Livorno, La Torre in Palermo and Millennium Center in Rovereto (TN), obtained the BREEAM In-Use environmental certification in November 2025.

In particular, Porta a Mare achieved the “Outstanding” rating in Part 1 – Asset Performance, the highest level awarded under the protocol, becoming the first IGD asset to receive this prestigious recognition.

With these new certifications, the number of BREEAM-certified assets in IGD’s Italian portfolio rises to 19. To date, 91% of the portfolio by market value and 76% of assets by number are BREEAM In-Use certified. All certified properties have achieved at least the “Very Good” level, while 63% have obtained a rating of “Excellent” or higher, confirming the Group’s continuous commitment to improving ESG performance.

Launched in 2016 with Centrosarca, IGD’s BREEAM certification program is progressing according to the defined roadmap and foresees that by 2027 over 95% of the Italian portfolio, in terms of fair value, will be certified with a minimum rating of “Very Good”.

BREEAM certification, one of the most widely recognized international standards for real estate sustainability, evaluates both the structural and design features of a building as well as its daily operational management. Parameters such as material selection, indoor environmental quality, water and energy consumption efficiency, and waste management are assessed, with the aim of enhancing user well-being and reducing environmental impact.

 

“Achieving these new certifications marks an important milestone in the sustainability path that IGD has been pursuing since 2016. The result obtained by Porta a Mare, the first asset in our portfolio to reach the ‘Outstanding’ rating, confirms not only the quality of the project but also its value as an innovative urban regeneration initiative. We will continue working to ensure that our assets become increasingly efficient and sustainable” commented Roberto Zoia, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of IGD SIIQ S.p.A.

IGD was supported throughout the certification process by Greenwich S.r.l., Italy’s leading ESG service provider for the real estate sector, with 18 years of experience, 100 specialists and a consolidated track record across all asset classes, including retail.
