Be Safe

In line with our double materiality assessment, Eurocommercial has established a dedicated working group to enhance safety standards across our portfolio. We are implementing comprehensive group-wide policies and procedures, reinforcing a proactive approach to risk management. Our progress and key developments in health and safety will be transparently reported, underscoring our commitment to maintaining secure and resilient shopping environments.

Health and safety in shopping centres is a highly material topic for Eurocommercial, reflecting the Company's responsibility to ensure the welfare of customers, tenants, and visitors. This topic is material for Eurocommercial Properties due to its direct impact on stakeholder well-being, regulatory compliance, reputation, and business continuity. Shopping centres are high-traffic environments where maintaining a safe and healthy space is critical for tenants, customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Potential risks include accidents involving vertical transportation systems (elevators and escalators), fires, explosions, and infrastructure failures, as well as more severe threats like terrorism or lone shooter incidents. While most incidents are minor and manageable, the potential for major events that could disrupt operations or affect large numbers of people underscores the importance of robust health and safety protocols. Eurocommercial has developed comprehensive emergency procedures, regularly trains employees and tenants on safety measures, and implements rigorous infrastructure checks to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Tenant education programmes, focusing on emergency response protocols, are an integral part of the Company's risk mitigation strategy. By maintaining a proactive approach, Eurocommercial minimises disruptions and ensures a safe environment for all stakeholders.
