Our commitment to
the environment

Environmental management system

GRI 307: 103-1, 103-2

At Fibra Danhos we are committed to environmental care. We procure solutions that contribute to mitigate environmental impact. We have policies and systems that help us measure the impact of our activities.

Thus, we promote responsible water and energy consumption, proper waste management, and the mitigation of emissions both inside and outside the Fibra, in order to generate a change in awareness and habits, which also derives in economic efficiencies.

Consumption of energy and water at our properties is permanently monitored and reported to measure its impact and establish goals in order to achieve efficiencies. Individual reports are consolidated into an overall report to determine consumption impact of all our operations.

Our 2019 goal is a reduction of 5% in energy and water consumption with respect to 2018.

GRI 307: 103-3

We strive to be socially responsible and to reduce the environmental footprint of each of our real estate assets. As a result, some of our buildings have been recognized with certifications such as the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED).

Fibra Danhos has set the 2019 goal of implementing an integral operation management software at all our properties in order to reach 95% in the environmental indicator Maintenance report.

In order to bolster our environmental management and achieve successful results, we intend to continue developing and implementing capital investment projects; our goal is to streamline the operational budget by 95%.

Climate change and other atmospheric emissions

GRI 302, 305: 103-1, 103-2

Climate change is especially important to Fibra Danhos. We are committed to actions that reverse or mitigate the damage inflicted on the planet and to recovering the environmental conditions necessary for the survival of future generations.

GRI 302: 103-3; 302-1

In 2017 we implemented a standard format for recording total energy consumption of all our properties in order to monitor and reduce our consumption of electricity. We have managed a reduction at five properties: Alameda, Delta, Duraznos, Lindavista, and Tezontle. Total energy consumption of the organization in 2018 was 186,051.8 Giga Joules. These figures were obtained from the electricity consumption bills issued by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad - CFE (Federal Electricity Commission).

44,760 liters of diesel and 380 kilograms of refrigerant were consumed in 2018.

Our goal is to supply up to 90% of renewable energy to the common areas of all Fibra Danhos properties through a wind farm that will start operations in 2021.

Moreover, our buildings and offices have automated lighting systems which switch lights on and off at programmed times in order to reduce our energy consumption.

302-4

GRI 305: 103-3

In the case of Torre Virreyes, an energy simulation was carried out under the ASHAE 90.1-2007, appendix G standard; the result was full compliance with the requirements of energy efficiency. The simulation showed a 19.39% improvement with respect to the standard. In the case of air conditioning, we have managed to improve its performance by increasing equipment efficiency and implementing zones and adequate controls in conformity with the standard.

305-1

24,412.45 tons of greenhouse gas were released from all our operations during 2018.

Water resource management

GRI 303: 103-1, 103-2; 303-1

Fibra Danhos is firmly committed to environmental resource care; for this reason, in order to reduce our water impact, we monitor and follow it up with initiatives such as night watering of our green areas, stricter maintenance of water pumps, reduction of water pressure at all of our properties, and more efficient use of sanitary systems.

303-3

We consumed 496,770 m³ of water from the municipal network, 46% of our total consumption.

303-5

Our consumption of water services (water trucks or other external supply services) was 350,208 m³.

In 2018, our water system extracted 240,562 m³ of underground water.

In keeping with this commitment, we have water treatment facilities through which we managed to treat 308,970 m³ of waste water; 28% of that amount was reused for irrigation and toilet flushing.

This year we recycled 132,209 m³ of water.

GRI 303: 103-3

Waste

GRI 306: 103-1, 103-2

During 2018, we generated a total of 20,982.79 tons of waste derived from our operations, of which 5.18% were recycled compared to the 19,336.42 tons generated in 2017, of which a total of 5.62% was recycled.

In 2018, we generated 72,346.16 m³ of waste, representing an increase of 8.3% versus the 66,359.36 m³ generated in 2017.

At Fibra Danhos we permanently work to reduce our waste, and we have identified that the increase of 8.3% in waste generation in 2018 vs the previous year was due to our growth in operations, with the opening of Parque Las Antenas which represents an annual growth of 104,834 sqm in addition to the consolidation of other shopping centers such as Parque Puebla and Via Vallejo. Our commitment is to strive towards the establishment of measures for the reduction and optimal waste management, looking to decrease the environmental impact derived from the final disposition.

Environmental care: “Parque de la Luz”

Our Devotion to transform urban areas and our solid commitment to the environment, led Fibra Danhos to rehabilitate the “Parque de la Luz”, located on the side of Torre Virreyes, in Mexico City. The refurbished surface includes a park –with approximately two hectares– and a bike path between Fernando Alencastre Avenue and the intersection of Pedregal and Monte Pelvoux streets.

The main objective of the renovation is to positively impact the conservation of this green space, its importance lies on its location within the Polanco-Chapultepec bike path route, in a highly occupied area, with commercial activity and surrounded by a large amount of corporate offices.

“Parque de la Luz” has an irrigation system that will be fed by a water pressurized system from a treated water facility located at Torre Virreyes.

Likewise, to encourage water savings, our system has rain sensors that prevent irrigation when at least four millimeters of water have been captured recently.

This rehabilitation will bring several benefits, including:

• Improvement in the quality of life and the satisfaction of:
  • Clerks and businessmen, users for whom the creation of green and comfortable spaces will provide leisure and resting places.
  • The area’s inhabitants, who will have a recreational site for physical activities, with comfortable living spaces.
  • Visitors, who walk through the park to get to another place or visit the area from time to time.
• Increase in security and cleanliness of the site.
• Promotion of visits to the park by the community.
• Generation of spaces for cultural exchanges, integration and recreation.
• Prevention of the park’s abandonment.
